    Had a dinner with my girlfriends here and it was wonderful! All the foood was great! We ordered the seafood linguine, wagyu burger and the sablefish and we ordered the dessert platter and everything was yummy! The restaurant decor is also lovely and there's free underground parking! =)

    The Appetizers selection is wonderful and we enjoyed the smoked sablefish chowder, chicken wings, oyster motoyaki, tempura tofu, fresh oysters, truffle fries and tempura oyster mushrooms. For main courses we chose ling cod, ribeye steak, lobster risotto with scallops, seafood linguine and crispy oyster mushroom burger. Very disappointing with the ling cod and steak.

    My husband and I went for a special Valentine's weekend dinner. Service was attentive. Food was unique, very fresh and delicious. The decor is modern, sophisticated and westcoast. Definitely fine dining but not stuffy. Parking was easy and we could walk inside to the restaurant which was great on a rainy night. Host gave us 3 hours free parking and said to let the know if we needed more. Will definitely be back!
