If you have Celiac’s or are gluten free, you need to try the pizza here. Best pizza crust I’ve tasted yet. Most gf pizza crust are thin and crunchy. This one is thick and approaches the taste of a gluten pizza. Service is outstanding as was the manager who also mentioned that they have GF sausage for a topping.

I really enjoyed the music of Jesse Sprinkles who played here and their Jambalaya. Also the Niagara wine is so sweet and good. The server was right when he described this as juice with alcohol. My Fiancée did not find the bbq pulled pork anything to write home about and found it too rich for his pallet. I'm on a gluten free diet and found my meal terrific. It is nice and spicy and hot and oddly has mussels in it. I'm not keen on the mussles as the flavour is a little bit much for this dish but the dish itself was outstanding. I was not use to a jambalaya with mussels but I'm all for a new twist to an old dish. The service was very good although the bartender was slow and I wondered if she shouldn't be a little better with her wait staff as they are serving meals. Someone who has wine to accompany their meal should not have to pause in the middle of eating to wait for their beverage. Watching our great waiter it was clear the bartender was not servicing his tables in an orderly manner. This is a MGR issue and should be taken up in staff meetings. All in all the gentleman playing music totally made this an amazing night for my liking. His voice and music were outstanding and his band is named the handsome young ladies. This man had the most incredible sense of percussive rhythm and and ability to make his stylistic interpretation work tremendously well with his vocal colour and range. I enjoyed my meal the great wine and really appreciate Jessies music and his last song By Sade smooth operator when I was leaving.
