    This place used to be good but they changed the menu and we will not be going back. Best thing are the French fries.

    We've had two casual birthday celebrations at TSG in the past few months. Both were excellent, good food and atmosphere. The burgers are unique and fantastic (if you like.them spicy). The only suggestion I would make is to expand the menu. bit. overall, this has become our "go to" place!

    New menu. Like it. The wings are really good, poutine is solid, just a little slow on service but a good casual bar scene.

    We had a very special birthday celebration for our 89 year old mother. You guys made it even more special with the extra attention, special free dessert and overall care and attention. The burgers were great and overall we highly recommend TGS!

    Have eaten here many times and been so happy with everything about it other than bad acoustics. Apparently there is a new chef who felt the need to put his stamp on the restaurant by creating a new menu. Four of us could only find a burger that sounded appealing and even that we had to modify. Just very odd combinations of ingredients . Salads used to be quite good but none were enticing It is a sports bar trying to be fancy and failing miserably. After enjoying it for many months not one of the four of us plans to ever go back. And that is a shame.

    Excellent experience. Acoustics are really loud in there if trying to have a business conversation.

    Service was dicey and the music was terrible! Had to ask to change it, which was gladly agreed by the only other table. The food and very good but the high tables were too high for the stools. Setting was very nice!
