    It was an unknown restaurant to my wife and I. We received a pleasant greeting and were sat down at a nice table. Our waitress Katherine was FANTASTIC. Polite, professional and always a smile on her face. She made us feel at home and comfortable. I had a drink then a starter caesar salad and then the Americana pizza. Both were well prepared and of good portion size. My wife had a different salad, and pasta, which she really enjoyed. We shared the non flour chocolate cake and vanilla ice cream. So good. No real criticisms....maybe a little pricey, but everything is expensive now a days. A very pleasant outing and we will be back certainly.

    The restaurant was short staffed but overall the service was good. I did not think the quality of the chicken caesar salad matched the price. The beer flights were great!

    We thoroughly enjoyed our experience at Taline. From the delicious and creative cocktails to the truly authentic dishes, that were a feast for the eyes as well as the flavours. We shared many dishes, including the veal shank, which was amazing! Definitely recommended.
