When I went by the food area on the second level that never went ahead, due to COVID at the time I think, the seating area was quite full of people at lunch time today.

When the heck are they going to put in some food places in there?

It makes no sense. Every time I've been through there during lunch hours, it's full of people eating lunches they've picked up from elsewhere, brought from home, or had delivered. Rice Howard Place, which currently has, what, four occupied floors?, is soon to have a full (almost full?) food court. I really can't understand how there would be no business case for that food hall to be full—especially with the added benefit of pre- and post-event crowds, which other places like RHP wouldn't get.
 
The food court is too big and should be repurposed for something else. You think they'd piggy back off the Arena events in some way, but nope.

Hopefully the floor plate can be cut through and the lower level can be integrated with a portion of the current food court. There is a balcony which remains unused.

It really looks terrible though.

Maybe it’s just wishful thinking on my part, but I feel like it could easily support a variety of offerings and be successful. There isn’t really much within a close walk for quick food on the go unless you take the awful walk down 104 to Harvey’s or Tim’s/Wendy’s. The hotel, arena, offices, and several highrise condo/apartments are literally right there. Put some TVs up in the seating areas, open the patio, and you’ve got the best food court in the city.

For what is supposedly a premier office tower it sure doesn't have much for food options, just one coffee cart. I can't imagine tenants enjoy having to hike to City Centre or further away just get lunch.
 
Loblaws is usually hopping at lunch, Subway and Tim Horton's is also a short Pedway stroll away, City Centre is not a bad option either.

The 2nd floor food hall is typically filled at lunch despite no direct options. People bring their own food either from home or bought nearby.

Outside of lunch, it's often occupied from people looking for shelter from cold. As long as there's no open drug or tobacco use or no one's sleeping, security will leave them be.
