    Pricey. They dont tell you if theres surcharges on some things so the bill was surprising. It was a birthday and we would have to pay for the piece of cake. We passed and celebrated elsewhere.

    I booked on line for table seating and we were directed to the high tables. We asked to be seated at a table and were told it would be 20 min wait. The hostess said it is subject to availability. When we went to the washroom in the back, it was obvious that the restaurant was not full and there were empty tables. Overall, we would rate the experience as 3.5.

    The food was very good and very affordable for the quality. The service was superb and the ambiance was great. The person assisting to our table was attentive to her customers and took time to ensure our experience was positive. We had also limited time while attending to a show at the NAC and she ensured that our food was served on time for us to make our way to the NAC. Would definitely recommend reservations on weekends as it tends to be quite busy.

    Great service, and tasty food, only our initial table was given away which was a better one, by a completely different server, which did not sit well. Especially since he did it right in front of me when I arrived and was being taken to the table, and had no qualms about it!

    The shareable steak and ravioli Bianca is out of this world. I just can’t get past it. The only other dish I have ordered here is the Mediterranean bowl, which I couldn’t get past for quite a while either. You can’t go wrong on either of these dishes!

    Great ambiance and delicious food! However, you are desperately cheap on your drink sizing. Especially beer and mixed drinks. Too much ice and beer glass not respectfully full - for the amount you are charging patrons.
