When a server comes to an igloo zip door behind them. It lets all the heat out! The food was awful. Selections are few and drinks are weak. I was disappointed but I do love the rooms at the ES.

There was initially a bit of crisis upon arrival because I was informed that the igloos on the 12 floor rooftop for Valentine's night were overbooked and I was "the last one who had booked" (3 wks ago! maybe a call by now?), so that they were shifting us to an inside private room instead. This was very disappointing as the igloo experience was key to eating there for a Valentine's date. Luckily, just as I was about to tell the other three of us the disappointing news, a few of the parties there were already sat in the igloos decided it was too chilly out there and came in, freeing up an igloo so that our reservation could be fulfilled. Aside from that our server was a saint, having to run in and out of the building in the literal blizzard, was still very attentive to come out and check on us and we tipped her accordingly. The fancy apps we split: poutine, brussel sprouts, nachos, flatbread, etc. were all very tasty and we had a great time in our "snow globe". We are eager to go back and eat on the roof in the summer to enjoy the contrasting feel!

Wonderful experience. Went there for brunch. The food, drinks and service surpassed my expectations. We will definitely be going back again. They have an igloo experience that I can't wait to do with some friends. I highly recommend that you try it.

I wish that we had enjoyed the bubble experienced that we paid for but the sun waa directly in our faces and it got unbearable so we requested to be seated inside instead. Waste of $50 paid. The other unit was innthe shade so it would have been perfect,

The food was delicious! Our first time using the igloo and it was perfect! It was roomy and it was cozy. It was busier than usual, but Danielle was amazing! Can’t wait to go back!
