Tasteful decor, but for an establishment at this price point (~$50+ per plate) I would expect to not have to walk sideways beside my table to sit; bumping our and our neighbours table in the process. To note, I’m 115 lbs and slender. Further, it was difficult to carry a conversation without raising our voices because there is nothing above the tables to dampen noise. We only ordered mains, and sat for 1 hour before receiving them- despite other tables having been sat and ordering after us, yet, receiving their food before. All in all - underwhelming. The food was decent. However, because the dining experience was unfavourable, we would not return or recommend this restaurant.

It didn’t start off well. We had reservations and was asked to wait for our table for ten minutes or sit at the bar. Only after asking for the manager were we seated at a table that was already available. Not sure why we needed to wait? The waitress and the food were good. But at that price point we would expect the service to be much better.

Great first experience. Food was perfect and price were fair. Service was great as well. Recommend sitting at the bar if you're having a date. Just a bit disappointed that no one seems to have any wine knowledge. A restaurant like that should have a sommelier on site providing recommendations. But overall, great wine list.

Great central spot with nice decor. Decent portion sizes but presentation and quality of cooking was surprisingly mediocre at breakfast, e.g. my fried eggs were burnt and what could have been thick and crusty sourdough toast was overly charred. Focussing too much on a food styling photo and video shoot seemingly detracted from the customer experience. The staff was kind but their energy was elsewhere engaged.
