I thought I wasn’t a fan of Caesar drinks, but somehow I ended up finishing this one. The bar offers lovely views from the patio, and the server was very accommodating to our requests, which I really appreciated. I would love to come back again.

Customer relations - The management is caring about their business. After my review, I was contacted to ensure they can do better in their hospitality and dining services. Atmosphere - There is an outdoor patio and indoor dining available with nice ambiance. Food - I ordered an avocado croissant but instead I received a hamburger bun with guacamole on top. It was so sad that I had to ask for a different meal. Thankfully, they are removing this item from the menu but would avoid. The chicken n Pik sandwich was very tasty but sooooo salty. Can you see how much seasoning is on the fries? Flavour is prominent, very strong dill flavour. Charcuterie board should be avoided because the items were very low in quality. The cheese tasted cheap. Do you see how the grapes almost look moldy in the photo? The spicy margarita was made well. Overall, I’d suggest coming here for drinks and especially caesers.

Was there yesterday. What a variety of Caesar’s . Choose your rim flavour, base, spice elixir, spice level and then a smorgasbord of garnish from cheeses, veggies, meats, seafood . Crazy cool concept ! Our server Keaton , was so helpful and friendly… thank you . Space indoors in small but funky and patio , although it was raining , nothing an awning won’t expand the experience . Well done 👍 … Seafood Caesar was awesome so were the wings and guacamole and chips.

Our server was awesome ! Our food and Caesars were incredible and everything was perfect. This stop made my birthday weekend ! I wish I could remember her name but the service was fantastic, kind, knowledgeable and made us feel very welcome. I have visited the Collingwood location and it’s nice to have a location closer to the cottage. Always an amazing experience.

I’ve been twice over the past week and have had a great experience both times! The build your own Caesar menu is expansive and the wings are amazing. Great location, lovely view, and good service. I’ll be going back for sure.

Came here for lunch with a friend, got some drinks and wings. The Caesars were good, decently priced considering we got doubles. We got dry rub wings and they were good, just a bit over salted I think. Servers seem to still be struggling a bit with keeping organized as we had to wait around a while to have our orders taken but everyone was pleasant and kept checking in on us. Location is great and the patio is really nice but being on main means you get a lot of traffic noise.

Great food, great caesers. A little cramped indoors for my liking, probably wouldnt bother most people. Unfortunately our server assumed without asking that our 20 year old daughter was under age and brought her a virgin caesar. I get that she looks young but you need to ask. She was a little ticked. These things happen I guess. Great experience otherwise, will undoubtedly return periodically.

This feels like having a special occasion with friends and the highest ambitions for food and drink. Garnishes piled high make for a meal in themselves. Guac and salsa are fresh and delicious. Special diet requests were courteously accommodated. Everything was absolutely delicious and fresh.

Just went to try this place. Very nice, Good character. The girl set us down to our table. No problem. Gave us menus. All good. 10 minutes 15 minutes 20 minutes goes by. Girls looked at us not one came by and take a drink order. We decided to get up and leave and then the owner came over to us. Whats wrong? Weve been waiting 15 to 20 minutes and no one came and she tells us oh we should have flagged somebody down. In the meantime, if youre hosting a bar restaurant like that, your girl should be coming to the customer that soon as they sit down offering drinks not flag them down as a previous bar restaurant manager myself. Yeah, that was not very good service and I felt like I was judged. But yet Im a local hometown boy here in Huntsville and this is how we got treated as if we were outsiders or something from the city

Amazing! We were happy to see a location in Huntsville popped up closer to us! Great staff, quick service, and a great atmosphere/location for a place that has been so renowned in Collingwood. Parking: A bit difficult to find parking as its downtown! We drove around to the back and walked up!

This is such a fantastic place! The owners were so friendly and made us feel at home! Our server Cathy was on the ball, went above and beyond and made excellent recommendations! The location is amazing, overlooking the river in Huntsville. The menu is very well priced, especially for what you get in some of those caesars, which were all delicious. I can t wait to go back, this is such a great spot!!!!

The drinks were good but the service was awful. 1 wait staff was actually working and seemed to care about the customers. The others were more interested in talking to each other. Our group was greeted and seated fine enough. Then our waitress came and said they would be right with us. She then proceeded to seat 3 other tables and take their orders before coming back to us. 1 tables received their drinks and food prior to coming back to us even for an order. Once we ordered we were told it would be a long wait as the bar is backed up. Understandable as its a busy place. We ordered 1 Caesar and 3 flights. Nothing came out together. The lone causer came out first and then there was a 20 min wait to get the first flight and another 15 minutes to get the other flights. The manager made a point to visit every table that appeared to be having a good experience. The table across from us was having a similar experience to ours and nothing. Do yourselves a favor and skip this place. If the ownership group reads these consider replacing your management team. Their lack of customer care will hurt your business and they are not able to manage the wait staff. If the service was on point this would be a much better review.

Popped into the Huntsville location for a quick lunch. The restaurant has a beautiful patio and the inside was great too. Staff was friendly and helpful. Food was ok. This location has a limited menu as they ve recently opened. We found the wings, calamari and dill fries very tasty. The cauliflower bites were a bit plain and the batter was a bit thick. We did not get them dressed so maybe that s why they weren t as tasty. Didn t enjoy the guacamole and chips. The guac was too smooth and lacked flavour. We also had the virgin dill pickle Caesar and found it too sweet. Nothing some more tomato juice couldn t fix though! The Stay Classy Caesar was tasty as was the Spicy Margarita. Would like to come back when the menu has more variety!

Jason and his team are the best. Could not have been more attentive or hospitable. We were a thirsty group of 20 and they handled us flawlessly. Beautiful patio with view overlooking the bridge and water.

What a unique spot for Huntsville and was a great atmosphere on the million dollar patio . Loved my surf and turf Caesar and the chic n pick sandwich was very tasty. Never had a chicken sandwich made with a croissant and it won t be my last time that s for sure
