    The service was subtly amazing …the 2-3 waiters were professional yet very personable, attentive, and thorough…Giome carefully wrapped the leftover appetizer and main (we couldn’t finish) before putting it in the takeout containers. The Snow Days special was an amazing value, with good portion sizes, & a nice unique variety of options. The Artic Char flavours were, layered and nuanced, with different textures (IE: crunchy nuts). Also enjoyed the, venue, ambience, & live music. Thoroughly enjoyed the Bison and will definitely be back! Thank-you!

    We had an amazing time at the Prow. There was a small snafu when we first arrived in regards to some pre-arranged dietary requirements, but it was handled BEAUTIFULLY by the manager Jennifer and the server Karen - very professional. We had a great time, and had the server laughing so hard, as well as the tables around us. I highly recommend The Prow. Thankyou everyone for making my birthday dinner fabulous!!!

    The food was good, price was cheaper than other restaurant we used to go. Waited too long for desert and bill. Only 3 tables included ours, more waiters than table of customers, still waited long time.
