    We came here for our anniversary and it was nothing less than amazing. To our surprise, it was rather empty when we arrived, however it worked in our favour for a quiet dinner. We came right at the end of happy hour and ordered their sangria and margarita - which we both amazing. We also got the beef tartare, duck wings, and oysters and everything was amazing; we couldn’t believe this was all on happy hour. For mains we ordered the agnolotti and the duck breast and were not disappointed. Desserts we ordered the carrot cake and key lime pie which were also amazing. Food quality was unreal and we will 100% be back.

    We really enjoyed our time at Pigeonhole Downtown. The staff were all so helpful and seemed happy to be there tbh. The food was all done nicely, while it’s not reinventing the eating experience, everything was very tasty. We were there for happy hour, which was an absolute deal! Will be back for sure and to try the mains.
