    The restaurant was cold. Food was average. Nothing special for a Michelin recommended restaurant! Service was slow but adequate.

    Been back twice the last month. First time sat out in the heated patio for dinner. Second time after a VSO Vivaldi concert at the Chan Centre for Happy Hour. You get 10% off with the ticket. Both times experience and food has been very positive. Free parking underground very convenient. Will be going back again for sure.

    We were seated in a tiny table next to a thin wall that looked into the grocery store. Could not move our elbows on one side because of how tight the table was to the wall. Food was good but ambience was terrible.

    We are repeat guests at the restaurant and always find the service excellent but the food was very much lacking this time. We didn’t share this with the server as we didn’t want it to spoil our evening and the server was lovely. We did see a manger who was visiting only certain tables and we would have mentioned it her if she had come by to see how our dinner was. The burrata and beet salad didn’t seem as fresh as it could have been and both our main course chicken dishes were cold. We didn’t order dessert.
