My sister in law made a reservation weeks in advance for her father but because of a reservation regulation that is so outdated my great grandmother never heard of it we were put on a waiting list and pushed for other tables. Then just before the show they attempted to push us into tables used for waiting clientele that was... More

Other than the hostile coat check boy at entry, the second rate table, rush of a coffee shop serve, a 3 oz. fillet (barely) main course, cold brulee desert and $20 plus premium per entree, it was great. Our server appeared pleasant as she passed by. More

Although we were first-timers to what is clearly a neighbourhood restaurant we were made to feel extremely welcome. The room is cosy and delightful with perfect lighting and a relaxed atmosphere. The service was spot on – attentive without being intrusive. The food is well presented and does not have overly strong or too many sauces and flavours, allowing the... More

Wonderful food with a great decor and service. Have eaten at this restauarant twice in the past three months. Both times I was not disappointed. The rack of lamb was incredible as was the presentation. Zagat states correctly this small place flies under the radar. More
