   I went on Christmas Day with a reservation. Despite reservation we still had to wait 15 minutes past the reservation for a seat. I think this was because it was very busy Christmas. Service was pretty good, the drinks were refilled, and food didn’t take too long. We ordered prawn appetizers and it came lukewarm and no longer crispy. I also got lobster bisque soup which came warm, not hot. My dinner also came just warm. Overall the food tasted very good and the servers were very friendly and warm. My only complaint is none of the food came hot.

   Wheelchair washroom was not working when my 91 year old mom needed it. Not great. Also the steak was tough and chewy. Our server was excellent. Seafood chowder was delicious, as was the crème brûlée. We appreciate that you were open on Christmas.

   The service was terrible, my son order a cheese burger and he didn’t even eat it because it’s too dry and there’s not enough cheese on it. Going to Christmas Eve they don’t have any other menu except the set menu for $75 so you’re stuck even if you don’t like it and when I booked they never mention about it. But the service was terrible the lava cake that came with the set menu was horrible not worth, I do understand it’s Christmas Eve busy but when you decide to open that time you should put enough people, instead of me and my son having a good time we’re starving and by the time food came we weren’t patients anymore, not good to celebrate Christmas dinner.

   Rating is a bit harsh for Christmas Eve - server was great but our entrees did take over an hour to arrive …

   We had reservations for 6:45 and seated promptly our server brought Menus and asked if we would like water. The water arrived after approximately 5 minutes. Approximately 10 minutes later we were asked if we would like any other drinks. We order wine sodas and appetizers. This was a set menu for the night as it was Christmas Eve the drinks arrived 15-20 minutes later. Our server took our orders this was nearly 1 hour into being seated. Appetizers came out shortly after that meals arrived 45 minutes after that. The server returned at the end of our meal to ask how things were most were good one of the steaks arrived Blue and not medium rare and cool to the touch. We at that point asked for additional soda and water refills. 20 minutes later we had to find the server to ask for our included dessert to be served. The server did not return to ask we we wanted any other drinks As my 3 parking was about to expire. After the desert she asked if we would like coffee or tea by then I just said the bill please which was promptly delivered and waited for payment for $600 I expected better service

   Yikes. We waited nearly two hours before we placed our orders. We’re actually still stuck here after three hours.

   Service was absolutely terrible. Waitress forgot to take our full order, so had to wait forever for her to come by our table so we can tell her. Then she’s nowhere to be found again, and we needed a steak knife to eat the steak. She never came back once to check how we’re doing or ask how the food was. We had to call her ourselves to ask for our soup which didn’t come even after we finished our main dish. By then, we just didn’t want to wait any longer so we asked to get all the food that didn’t come packed up to go. Not once did she ask how our meal was or apologize for not checking in. She only said something after I complained about the service. Definitely wouldn’t recommend. We saw another table complaining too as they didn’t even get their water or orders taken after waiting for long. Spent $75 for a holiday meal and 1.5 hours just to eat a fairly ok main meal and had to get most of our other food in a small takeaway box to go.

   Went for lunch. Not busy but service was slow. No water. Had to wait until my meal was halfway done to get a coffee refill. Salmon sandwich was a bit dry and bland. Fries, ok. No one else complained about their meal. Two adult meals and two kids meals $100 plus tip. A bit much considering no appetizers or dessert. Pay parking to boot.

    It was a nice premium experience in an excellent location. I was happy with my experience for our seasonal celebration.
