Nice atmosphere for a casual Fri night dinner. Kyle our waiter was pleasant, efficient and attentive. Food was good albeit pricey. Bread is ordered, not provided and for $12 we got 3 half slices of Collingwood Bakery sourdough. Not wanting to make a fuss and say " are you kidding me" we bit our tongues and shared sparingly the bread. Nice evening, but next time no bread at our table.

A really great restaurant, which is always expected of a McEwen joint, but for sure it’s delivered in this case. Probably the best chicken korma I’ve ever had in my life, and I’ve had a lot of them! Excellent service, and I will be back again. Thank you!

Excellent dining experience! Our server Kyle was very attentive and our table was in a quiet corner. I had the filet mignon which was perfectly cooked and so tender. My husband had the special - pressed short rib. Sides were mashed potato and onion rings. OMG - these were the best onion rings we have ever had!! We can’t wait to come back.
