Warmly greeted, exceptional service, even though the restaurant was busy. The well thought out menu, quality ingredients, skill & passion, resulted in the scrumptious food offered up. So very delicious. Great dining choice for dinner before heading out. Reason 1) for the low score on ambience, was due to the poor acoustic quality inside. Reason 2) was the table of 8 next to us, who had no regard for their fellow diners. Extremely raucous, their obnoxious behaviour tarnished our experience; we simply could not hear each other. This unpleasantness was, by no means the fault of the restaurant. Perhaps some training in confidently dealing with such diners would benefit. Al, Peggy, the Bundy clan & Co. should get takeaway. Yes, this has an energetic climate & we look forward to coming back. Hats off to all the wonderful staff.

Lovely restaurant. The food was excellent. The down side was the noise level. Very loud at times. However I will have to endure that as I will be returning.
