    Everything was great. We went here to celebrate my boyfriend's birthday. We both got steaks and mine was overcooked. They took it back and the chef brought me out a new one quickly. Everything was delicious. Our server's name was Claire and she was very personable and kind. She brought out a little birthday dessert plate at the end. We really enjoyed it!

    Valentines Day Date Night Made reservations for 8:30 Showed up at 8:25 and was told our table wasn’t ready and we could go wait at the bar on the third floor. Found 2 seats at the bar and grabbed cocktails while waiting. Service was attentive and our table was ready at 8:45. We were able to take our drinks down to our table. Had the bread and pesto and arancini for appetizers. Both delicious. Hubby had lamb chops and I got scallops. Excellent! Wanted to take tiramisu to go and they were sold out. Flourless chocolate cake was the only other option and that didn’t sound good. Waitstaff was great! Ambience very quiet and packed in tables for dining room. Probably would have preferred to have eaten in the bar area which had a better vibe. Overall a good dining experience and very cool building

    Came here for the second consecutive year to celebrate my birthday tonight. Our second visit was just as delicious and enjoyable as our first. We got the beet salad, halloumi, their flatbread special, bucatini and the walleye. Every single dish had amazing flavour and decent portions. They also gave me a little birthday dessert which was a really nice way to end the meal. The cocktails were also really good-especially “I yam what I yam” was super unique and truly so tasty! Cant wait to come back next year!

    What a great dinning experience! Highly recommended if you want to have a nice intimate date night. Service was great as there is complimentary valet service (tip optional) and the staff were so friendly upon entering the restaurant. The decor and ambiance are stunning and has a nice modern art touch. Our waiter was amazing and so friendly. The drinks there were delicious and the food was authentic. After eating the food, we did not feel a “food hangover” and felt amazing after suggesting that the food is cooked with the best and freshest ingredients. The pastas noodles are made fresh as well so that is a huge bonus!
