Start to finish this was a great meal at the Mule. Food and service were exactly what our post-graduation group had hoped for.

We had booked a reservation and something got mixed up and they had us at a barstool table. Unfortunately, some in our party are not able to sit that high and we needed a regular table. They were able to quickly get us seated and everything was fantastic. The manager that seated us and checked in on us was great. Our server was amazing and the food was delicious! Thanks you for making my daughter’s 19th birthday dinner a fun one!

Using Open Table really helped two friends navigate a delay in arriving at the restaurant. All was well and we were welcomed and seated quickly. Ordering was prompt and helpful and lunch was so good! We each had a salad, the Avocado Super Bowl with salmon and the Chop Salad with chicken and they prepared it regular rather than blackened. Everything about it was terrific. Great quality, quantity and value. We will be back for sure.

Food was delicous. We brought another couple that had never been before. This was our second time here. No complaints about the food. It’s was amazing. We started off with Cesar salad and it was the best I have ever had. We had the bruschetta that tasted amazing. I had the Pasta Carbonara which had very good flavour but I could have had a little more sauce. My hubby had the Lobster Ravioli which he very much enjoyed. I had a bite and the flavour was so good. We also had the calamari, its was cooked to perfection. The other couple we were with had a panzerotti and the Margherita pizza. They too enjoyed their meal. The pizza looked so good we are kicking ourselves for not taking one home. We will definitely be back. The only thing we thought was odd was the server brought our food but never asked how it was only asked if we had everything we needed.

    A great restaurant with a nice ambience overlooking the Grand River. The food was tasty, and the portions were generous. In fact, when ordering appetizers, it’s worth checking the portion sizes so you don’t end up ordering too much.
