Had an absolutely delicious early-ish dinner tonight. The fish tacos were amazing, as were the hamburgers (huge), and the vegan pasta, and the kids mac and cheese. Our lovely guy who took our choices was so friendly. Highly recommend.

The service here is amazing, I don’t think I’ve ever met friendlier staff. The food is just as good. I ordered the Butternut Squash Ravioli which had just the right amount of flavor and was a nice sized portion. My drink was also very good. I ordered the Smoked Campfire Sling and it was fun to watch the smoke pour out of the drink. It was also very delicious and well balanced, highly recommend.

The Office is my go - to spot. The food is always top notch. The owners and staff are the friendliest, kindest people and the service is always above and beyond. They are always happy to accommodate my pain in the ass requests. And never give me any pushback about my dietary restrictions. I've never had a bad food experience, and I have eaten there a whole lot. Their cocktails are amazing. I can't say enough great things about The Office.

Nice spot for an occasion! The server was super friendly and made our experience very enjoyable. The cocktails were good and there was a wide selection. The food was a little pricy but reasonable. We did wait around 45 minutes for the food which was a while, especially since we were one of two or three tables that were there. They also made an error on one of our orders but they did take care of it promptly. We were celebrating a birthday and they did give us a complimentary dessert which was nice!

Firstly I wanna say that our server tonight was fantastic. She was very intentive and thoughtful. I was super impressed by the service. It was my husbands and mine 1 year wedding anniversary and we were so impresssed with the food and quality. Atop of that the extra accommodations to make something off the menu. Lobster Mac was was great, additionally so was the portabello mushroom burger. The specialty mock drinks which were made up for us as and the dessert too was just so considerate and made the night even more special. Thank you so much for the lovely night. We will be back for sure!

October 23, 2024

Generally good meal. Very good service. My issue is the extra charges for everything! My wife had the gnocchi and then asked for cheese (not unreasonable for a pasta dish) and they charged us and extra $2.63!!! These small extra charges are getting out of control. This has happened at other restaurants. Going out is already expensive so extra charges like this help confirm why we wont eat out as much as pre-Covid. Charge us what the dish costs and no more. Disappointing.

What a gem of a place! We were visiting from Toronto and were looking for a queer friendly spot on a Sunday night! Hard to find in St. Catherine s. The Office was a perfect spot for good food, delicious cocktails and a huge selection of beers! It was the WNBA finals and they welcomed the idea when we asked if they could put the game on for us! Mike was an amazing server and cared for our every need! His music choices created a great vibe. Highly recommend a visit here! LGBTQ+

This place is a definite HIT! The Menu, superb, cocktails are refreshing.. but seriously the Service, Above and Beyond. Get the Chicken and Waffles!

July 23, 2024

I gave this place a chance! The first time me and my friends were here, they served us overcooked burgers. The server then was nice so we let it slide. This time, the service got worse. I was alone and the server sat me on the worst table while there were only about 3 or 5 other people in the restaurant. It was the happy hour so I told the server that Im still thinking about getting another apps when I finished my first order. He immediately came back with a check. Tell me you want your customers gone without telling me.

I was really looking forward to coming here for the first time. Unfortunately my experience was not as I thought it would be. The atmosphere is fantastic and the service & servers are seriously amazing. What I didnt like was the food and drinks, the dish that I had ordered was the squash ravioli and that seriously had no taste. Not only that, to me for the price I felt there should have been more. The drink was just horrible, too much alcohol and that is all I could taste. Because of that I ordered a water and did not drink the alcoholic beverage. I will try to go back to try something else, but sadly not my number one go to place to eat.

Every time I go to The Office, the service is wonderful, the food and drinks are tasty, and the price is affordable. If youre looking for a couple drinks at a bar without the sports bar vibe, or if you want a casual dinner date that doesnt feel too stuffy, The Office is the place you want to go. Wheelchair accessibility: The bathroom requires going down a set of stairs, no first floor bathroom access. Step to get into the building.

A group of us (all vegans) went here for NYE dinner and were so impressed by the staff (waitress and kitchen) who were above and beyond helpful in accommodating the menu to meet our needs. We had all been to The Office several years ago when vegan options were plentiful under the previous ownership, but the staff were incredible at modifying existing dishes to ensure we all had several options to choose from and make for a wonderful dining experience. They had vegan feta and shredded cheese, and mayonniase. Our waitres was so professional, genuinely friendly, and asked all the right questions to make us feel heard. Highly recommend this restaurant, and look forward to, hoprfully, more vegan options in the future. Vegetarian options: They had vegan cheese (Shredded and feta) as well as vegan aioli (mayonniase). The only vegan item listed on the menu is the black bean burger, but other items can be made vegan as requested. Would love to see more vegan options on the menu to bring back the vegan clientele that so faithfully supported this restaurant under the previous owners Dietary restrictions: They made accommodations to vegan customers no problem.

December 18th, my very good friend and I had wine with friends. They went home and my good friend and I were a little hungry so we came to The Office Tap & Grill (TOT&G). We d been here before when previous owners were there. We ordered Flatbread Bruschetta . It was so delicious. Tomato, Asiago and basil pesto baked on a traditional flatbread, drizzled with a balsamic glaze, topped with shaved parmesan. Very reasonable prices . The great new owners are so personable, very hands on. One of the owners, Michael, I think (I wish I remembered his name damn) took our order. He was very attentive, great sense of humor, well organized, fast service. One of the waitstaff, Maddi, was terrific, funny. All are real assets to TOT&G. TOT&G serves vegetarian, healthy options, etc, bar on site, wine, hard liquor, cocktails, accepts reservations, wheelchair accessible. Street parking or Indoor lot parking. We always have a terrific time here. The owners, service, food selection, atmosphere, service; all top notch. TOT&G is a must when in the area. You won t be disappointed. Very highly recommend!!!!!!!

Came in from NY to have a nice dinner but also a good night out. The service was phenomenal, totally enjoyed it. Will say I didnt like the fish n chips but thats just because of the type of fish used, however my partner adored it and I ate his burger so it worked out. The cocktail drinks...-chefs kiss- Perfect. The only thing that I didnt deduct points but I understand its just being human was when the servers were outside smoking and then came indoors, they brought in the scent of the smoke with them. Aside of that, totally visiting again!

Popped in with my boyfriend for some 1/2 price wings and they were excellent - I tried the salt & pepper, sriracha agave and hot honey. Deeee-licious! Lots of blue cheese and veggies which I loved (since I have been other places where they don t provide it with the wings or charge extra.) Great Sunday deal on the price of the wings and drinks. But the best part of our evening was our server Michael. He made our experience phenomenal - checked on us several times to make sure we had everything we needed. And he even whipped up some fantastic cocktails for us. I wasn t sure what I felt like drinking but shared with him what some of my fav margaritas normally are and he made a delicious, creative, spontaneous cocktail for me based off my taste/flavour preferences. It turned out to be a delicious spicy strawberry tequila drink! Amaaazing. The energy of the place and staff was so positive! Will 100% be back for more! :) Thank you Michael for such a great experience at The Office Tap & Grill. Vegetarian options: Vegetarian and vegan options on the menu such as a vegan burger patty and cauliflower wings! Dietary restrictions: Lots of vegan options for plant-based eaters! And lots of non-alcoholic beverage options for those who don t drink or prefer to be alcohol-free! Parking: Side street parking - free on weekends - pay for parking Monday-Friday till 6pm

They have changed the restaurant quite a bit from pre-covid. The menu is different and they dont have the same feature meal items.

We also had the whiskey maple sweet potatoes which were awesome. Given the quality of the food, this restaurant provides excellent value. Definitely recommend.

Kudos to The Office for providing a welcoming place to dine last weekend. From the moment I stepped through the door, I felt welcomed by the staff. The atmosphere is comfortable, with in-house playlists that set a cool vibe. My friend and I thoroughly enjoyed the shared nacho appetizer (more than enough for two people). Next came the entrees served by an attentive and pleasant server. The food was delicious - both the generous Chicken Caesar salad made with kale and the home made burger with sweet potatoes.

He was efficient, fun, and really nice. He made us feel so welcome. Nothing was too much trouble to him. Chris was awesome too. He was happily singing while making our drinks and was smiling and fun. The cook did a great job on the food and being able to eat a gluten free meal meant the world. Thanks to The Office staff that made our celebratory dinner a good thing.

This is a long standing restaurant and bar. The menu and wine is great. You can bring your own wine, while enjoying some great food, that is not always so available, in other places. Part of what makes this place still great, is that the owner still works in the kitchen. This place should be tried.

My girlfriend and I had a phenomenal time! Alex (bartender) took great care of us! He knew the menu, and cocktails really well. Very attentive and funny. He also handled a table of 3 guests who seemed quite pretentious and rude extremely professionally... (These people literally shouted for a debit machine across the restaurant when Alex was on his way with one...) He managed the situation with a smile on his face, without sacrificing the environment in the restaurant. Impressive. Food was also delicious!! We will definitely be back.

Had never been here before but the service was unmatched, our server Alex was amazing, he was extremely personable, fun, and provided fantastic service. And the food, goodness gracious it was amazing! I have never enjoyed a burger so much and had it cost under $20! Also the restaurant had adorable private booths to offer a more luxurious private vibe. Definitely recommend if you re looking for a hip new spot!
