    Food is always amazing. The price has skyrocketed though making it not really worth the value. They already don't offer a big enough buffet. Now that it costs $45 pp its not worth it. The food was also running out and fresh items were not brought out quickly.

    The brunch buffet is so overrated. Not worth the price at all. None of the food had any seasoning. The food is made for old people… and it showed in the crowd. Save your money and go to a real brunch spot.

    It's a nice go-to place for brunch and hanging out with friends. We enjoyed a lovely long lunch, and Scotty, our server was amazing -- prompt, attentive, and charming. Looking forward to my next visit in my favorite booth.

    My stir fry seemed bland last night and had to be sent back to be heated up as it was barely warm. The other two dinners of guests were good.

    We went on a Friday for dinner and it was quite so great for having conversations. However the wine glasses were dirty as we saw stains on them under the lights. The complementary bread provided was cold and hard, contrary to what we were expecting. The main course was good. We ordered two different pasta dishes and were pleased to be able to remove wine from the dish. The service was good as well. Overall not a bad dinner restaurant near the St. Lawrence market.
