    It was nice to be able to talk at the table with the music not so loud this time.

    I always regret the ambience. I don’t know why OJ’s likes to have everything so damn dark in the middle of the day. It was the wrong choice considering I had to eat inside I had picked it for the patio. I hate eating there any other time then on the patio. The food is average But our server was amazing. I think his name was Jordon or Justin and he was awesome.

    My husband ordered fries and they were terrible. I had the tomato bacon soup with no bacon. I have had better at the Deerfoot City location.

    It wasn’t busy but the noise level was uncomfortable. When you can hardly hear the person across from you that is sad. Service was great, food was good

    The bacon was missing in the Brussels sprouts appy. The fish and chips was expensive for what was on the plate. Use to be a good value.
