    The service was fantastic, friendly, welcoming. Lindsay our server was great. The tasting menu was left us speechless, capped off a dessert with a special birthday dessert was such a friendly touch. The food was just amazing. Being a very open seating, the noise a bit loud, but conversation was still managable. Overall will be excited to return again!

    The most delicious brunch in the city! And the staff, particularly JC at the front, and our server Jackie were delightfully friendly and fun. We'll be back!

    Food was exquisite and service excellent. Wine choice was limited and very expensive. 28$ for a glass of wine or $100 for a standard bottle is overpriced especially if alcohol is included for tipping. It would be nice to see more Canadian selections. Open Table needs to update the pricing category from $$$ to $$$$. The choice of music was more for a bar atmosphere than a romantic dining experience and much too loud for conversation over dinner.

    We celebrated my birthday dinner there and ordered chef menu. Six dishes without any surprises for both taste and presentation. The portion was somewhat in the smaller range. A bit disappointed. Our server was attentive. Overall, we didn’t feel the value was worth it. Maybe the food on regular menu is safer choice to order.

    My husband and I had a lovely dinner, he had the scallops and I had the carpaccio for appetizers, and he had the pork chop and I had the salmon, all great! The complimentary bread was amazing and since we were celebrating an anniversary they also provided a lovely dessert. A very nice night out.
