    The beet salad and sirloin were great! Duck was crispy but the accompanying pasta lacked a bit of flavour for me. The bread was a bit hard which was a shame because it’s always been perfect other times I have come (perhaps just an off night). Our waitress was wonderful as well as the other staff ❤️
    Alobar DowntownResponded on December 3, 2024

We will pass along your kind words to our team as well. We are, however, saddened to hear that the bread and pasta was not up standard. We have brought your concerns to the kitchen and will be addressing them internally. We appreciate your insight and thank you for sharing your experience.

    The food was very nice. The biggest problem was the service. No sooner than we received our drinks than dinner was served. We felt very rushed. This was a special occasion meal and we were in-and-out in an hour. Not the way to serve at an upscale restaurant. Disappointed.

    it is a bit noisy - energetic is good but when you have to shout to be heard it gets a bit frustrating. Everything else other than that is outstanding.
