    Had the tuna poke bowl. Flavors were amazing. Also had the peach tea mojito. Just enough sweetness. Can’t wait to go back.

    I had high hopes for this dining experience, but unfortunately, it fell short in several areas. The filet had a fibrous texture and a dry consistency, even though it was ordered rare, suggesting it may have been previously frozen. The demi-glacé was the saving grace, adding much-needed flavor. The asparagus lacked seasoning and was quite bland. Cocktails were well-made and stiff, but the other intended flavors didn’t come through as much as expected. To top it off, the crème brûlée also seemed like it had been frozen beforehand, affecting its texture. Overall, while some elements were decent, the inconsistency in quality makes it hard to justify a return visit.

    Stopped in here on a Sunday night on our way home from a hockey tournament and couldn’t have been happier with our choice. Great food and great service all around. Really enjoyed the steak frites and the filet mignon. Both cooked perfectly and the Parmesan fries were delicious. The desserts were really good too. Definitely recommend.
