Very good food, service and ambience but the food serving sizes have decreased and the cost is very high so not the best value for money.

I’ve been to all the Landing group locations, and Harper’s is by far the best! The bartenders know you by name, they’re interested in you when they converse even when they’re busy, the food is always fresh and on point and the ambiance is phenomenal. I live in Toronto and drive to Oakville for this restaurant, that says a lot.

This was our second time eating at Buca and it did not disappoint! My fiancé ordered the pasta special and I ordered off of the menu. The calamari appetizer and our mains were cooked to perfection. The cannolis were simple and delicious. A little loud inside due to a boisterous group; however, the noise level decreased upon their departure. We will definitely be back. It's nice to see a restaurant that's doing it right.
