Appetizers were great but the three of us got halibut and it was overcooked/well done and dry. Flavor was good. It’s a shame that the fish was overcooked. Lamb chops was good and filet mignon.

Very attentive service, at times a little rushed. Tee food was very good. It's a small space and while there were a couple of tables with 10 or more people, we were one, it was a little tight trying to get to other tables.

Everything on the menu is great. I opted out of the portabella mushroom sandwich which I usually have and went back to the old standby of beet salad with prawns added.

We have eaten at Park and Howard Bistro and have always had good experiences. Last night we were placed in the back room which became extremely noisy because of two groups, one a party of six. By loud, I mean screechy, screaming laughter and loud “everyone in the room hears you” talking. One table of two actually moved to another table away from the group of 6.
