    Perfect setting for our dear friends birthday celebration. Everything was perfect. The sommelier recommended a fabulous Bourgogne, the server suggested perfect sharing items and the hostess pre organized an amazing desert with candle. Thank you for the best time !!

    You have taken the french toast off your weekend menu … a favourite for so many. Also I used to have an omelette that was delicious … what is on the menu now is not what I would call an omelette. Scrambled egg with a clump of cheese on top and your version of shaved truffles (looked like it came out of a shaker bottle) … an omelette, everything is inside! Missing these two favourites …

    I had an incredible dining experience at Score on Queen! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting. Our server, Rucker, went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed. He was attentive, knowledgeable about the menu, and made excellent recommendations. The food was absolutely delightful, bursting with flavor and beautifully presented. I can't wait to return and enjoy another fantastic meal. Highly recommend!
