From the moment we entered the venue we were welcomed like regular customers, though it has been years. The friendly, prompt and attentive service was commendable. We liked a particular wine, which came as a pairing to one of the courses, and they kindly sold us a bottle. A return visit is definitely in the cards, we had the Tutto Bene so next time we will try ala carte.

We experienced the Chef’s menu paired with an all evening happy hour. Every bite of food we had was delicious and the braised lamb was one of the best I’ve ever had, falling apart at the bone. Even though the dishes are served “to share”, the portions were surprisingly big and incredibly filling. Service was outstanding the whole evening. What a wonderful little gem of a place, I look forward to returning soon!

The club has changed the menu again and it’s very limited with not a lot of great choices. Many favourites have disappeared which is disappointing. Trying to push you into new dining venues which are expensive. Bring back the classics!
