  Food good but never ever.
  When we arrived...This place was pretty empty (15 guests maybe) for a Wednesday night hockey/basketball playoff game and baseball on. One of servers turned around and looked at us as we arrived but didn't greet us and went back to watching the TVs. About 5 seconds later she turned around again and looked at us but didn't say anything yet again. Then as we start to walk in and seat ourself another bartender came from the kitchen, passing the other server, said hi to us and said that we could sit anywhere.
  We decided to go to the bench seating as it looked comfortable and welcoming. But the bench seating was way too firm and too high up compared to the table. When we sat down your legs would slant forwards towards the floor and also our legs were well above the table too. I'm 6ft tall and my legs would barely touch the ground.
  One of the first things you notice is the massive Onyx logo on the wall. If you ask me a big 4x4 tv setup to form a large screen would have been much much better. The rest of the TVs were all way to high and pretty much on the ceiling. To sit there and always look up to watch was a little uncomfortable after some time for your neck. There was a few key spots on the walls that were completely bare and lower so that people didn't have to be staring upwards at the ceiling all night.
  The live game music was pretty loud and we couldn't hear our server talk. Server came by at one point and said something but we had absolutely no clue what was she said and just nodded our heads.
  There was a cleaning spray bottle and cloth just hanging on bar chairs in front of us. There are these HUGE Napkin dispensers at all the tables which I thought was really ugly for this nicer looking place. Not that I'm expecting a fine dining restaurant but when the server brought us water in a jug she didn't pour for us nor were there coasters for our mugs on these brand new looking tables.
  I really can't believe how much onyx advertising there was all over the bar. It's odd.
  So the food....really damn good to be honest! With a little hiccup.
  The deep fried artichokes were so good! I've never had them before and I recommend them to anyone. But be careful the first bite can be burning to the roof of your mouth. Our main dish was the Vegan burger and it was massive! Presentation really nice but unfortunately very impractical to eat and not enjoyable. I ate most of it with a fork and then the bread almost on own.
  Nothing stayed in the bun and it wasn't going to happen either. I said we were sharing and it didn't come with a knife or a second plate to share. A nice extra step would have been cutting the burger for us in the kitchen. I waited a bit for our server to come back and check on us so I could ask for a plate and knife. But she never did. I got up and went to the bar to ask the other server for extra plates and cutlery. Server never did come by to check on us about the food. Only at the end when she cleared the plates did I mention it looked good yet was complicated to eat. She didn't seem welcoming of my constructive feedback.
  We also asked for a 2nd bottle of water and it took about 10 mins to receive it. Waiting to ask for the cheque also took about 10 mins. On the way out I think I noticed a pool table in a back room but lights off and no one able to play. Why?
  In the end I wasn't impressed at all. For some people in here saying that it's great service I question that big time! Although some staff are different from others and so forth but we were there with a dead bar of only about 15. I did enjoy the food. I usually give places a 2nd try just in case it was a one off experience but unfortunately this time around I have to put this on the list of never again.
  
  Suggestions...
  Soften bench seating.
  Staff more friendly.
  More TVs like where the UFC banner is beside the bench seating. And more in corner by the kitchen door area.
  Remove your 2x2 tv setup and swap space with the logo. Now make the TV set up 2-3x bigger.
  TVs in tables where benches are.

  The service and food was great. I enjoyed watching the soccer match on numerous screens. Spacious dining and big bar to accommodate your group.

  Hands down is the best sports bar I've been to thus far. The live band is amazing and kareoke nights are so fun! Best of all is the food!!!! So delicious. Had a great time and I'm sure you will too.
