My friend and I had a wonderful dinner! We enjoyed all the food. The tuna tar tar to start, and my friend got the lobster risotto which she liked but said she found slightly underseasoned. I got halibut which was delicious! and the dessert was amazing, chocolate cake, a pear tart and lemon pavlova. Our server was outstanding! We were celebrating our birthdays and she brought us complimentary glasses of champagne, a small boutique of roses each, and a dessert platter to share with candles!! We were blown away! Highly recommended and we will definitely be back!
We didn’t make an appointment but we were allowed to dine at the bar. The food was excellent! Highly recommend the duck breast. The cocktails were amazing—the pandora one was truly delicious. And a whole aesthetic experience too! As well, the bartenders were SO personable and friendly. They were a pleasure to talk to—we had some wonderful conversations throughout the night! Made the whole experience feel like a dinner party—super fun. They were also professional and respectful and made sure that our needs were met. Highly recommend.
So impressed by this restaurant! The interior design created a wonderful ambiance, the space was much bigger than expected. The servers were very on point and kind. The food was spectacular with a stacked menu that makes me want to come back for more.
I wish I could give them more than 5 stars! The customer service is beyond anything I've seen anywhere. We made a reservation on OpenTable and placed a note that we were celebrating a couple of things; we didn't expect our note to be read at all. Not only did our waitress Laura acknowledge our celebrations, she completely made our day with complimentary drinks, food and dessert. Everything was absolutely delicious! The seafood was fresh and clean, the linguine was made in-house and not drenched in cream, and the chocolate cake tasted like heaven. I would recommend this place to anyone!
What a fantastic surprise. Went in expecting a good meal but left with an outstanding experience. This meal was a 10. The freshness Of the fish is a difference maker. Service was polite, efficient and friendly. Crafted cocktails at the bar and a good selection of wines. Best meal so far this year. Outstanding!
