Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Pigeonhole on 17th Ave is a vibrant culinary gem, known for its "fantastic service" and "amazing food." Guests rave about the "charred cabbage," "beef tartare," and delightful "cocktails." The ambiance is both cozy and chic, with vinyl records adding to the experience. A must-visit for any occasion.

    What an incredible dinner, our first time of many! Raspberry Point Oysters were so fresh from PEI, salt of the ocean with minerality and smooth and full mouth texture. Caviar and champagne, the caviar was balanced with its natural brine flavours and some smokiness to it. We recommend eating it the kings way on your wrist— fill your anatomical snuffbox with caviar and pair it with champagne in a wine glass for a beautiful nose. Then there was the crab toast with nice gingery lemongrass flavours, deadly delicious hollandaise cream foam sauce, and pasta that reminded us of being in Italy. The sourdough crusted half chicken schnitzel was a hit— all the meat was incredibly juicy and flavourful. A great chill dinner for any. The best place to eat is at the bar. Taylor was amazing and everyone in the team from front to kitchen looked like they were having fun on a Thursday night. We will be back!

    The entire evening was delightful. Our server was spot on with wine recommendations and took care of us so well. We had mushrooms, tartare, baked cabbage and warm olives, delicious. Thank you.

    First timer. Had the Snow Crab toast and the Hot Chicken Sandos and we each had a glass of wine. Good food. Good service. Music was a little loud. parking is challenging at peak hours (645 pm), and we each had a car and both of us had to park around the block so expect to walk a block.

    Food was delicious, although a few dishes were a bit too salty for my taste. Service was excellent even while they were very busy.

    The staff, ambiance, drinks (which were delicious !) and appetizers were amazing. Where points were lost was with the main course which was disappointing, because we were looking forward to trying it.
