Our Favourite Revenge Reviews

We take pride in our food, our service, and the atmosphere we’ve created — and luckily, nearly all of our customers appreciate it too. We love that.

But every now and then, someone doesn’t get their own way… and takes it personally. What follows? A dramatic review, full of creative fiction and emotional flair.

We call these revenge reviews — and instead of hiding them, we’ve decided to showcase a few of our favourites. Because if you can’t laugh at them, what’s the point?
