    We brought two visitors from the U. K. , one from Manchester and one from London. The one from Manchester lives about 3 miles from where the overhead trusses were made so it was especially interesting for him. They really enjoyed the beer choices and their food. Our server was wonderful.

    Dinner was great. Service excellent and super quick. I had the Dan Dan Thai - highly recommend it. Not too spicy.

    The server was quick and attentive, courteous and professional. The restaurant is so unique with the view of the pumphouse machinery. The food was delicious. The menu is very accurate and I appreciate the note about the level of spice in the different dishes.

    Excellent place for a couples night out. Interesting building, good food and variety--every person ate a meal inspired by a different country--and every dish was beautifully plated. Particularly delicious were the chicken chickpea curry and the carrot cake, but everyone's meals were tasty. Staff were friendly and hospitable. Chairs were comfortable and the place was shiny clean. Drinks were on the pricy side, and the place got a bit noisy as it filled up. All in all will definitely go again.

    It was a bit of surprise to say the food was only fair as we have been numerous times and the food was always excellent in the past. Almost tasted as if the food sat under heat lamps for a while before it was finally served. Hoping that this visit was an aberration.

    Amazing place! Vegetarian menu has quite a few options to choose from. Everything we’ve tried left such a good impression. Food is so tasty. Cocktails are so good as well. “Peach better have my money” had me surprised with spicy-sweet taste. And old pump mechanisms will attract your attention for sure. In top 3 across MB, ON and AB for me. Highly recommend 🙌

    Food was absolutely amazing. It was a nice quiet night and it showed slightly in the service as servers were not the most attentive
