I had wild boar pappardelle. The sauce was tasty but the pasta was WAY too al dente, bordering on raw. It came to the table lukewarm which was pretty disappointing. It lacked parmagiano; I felt this would have helped elevate the flavours. Service way very attentive initially but it took our server until we were almost done our meal to come by to ask how everything was. By that time I was not about to complain though I may have given my honest opinion had they asked shortly after the food initially arrived. I feel like this restaurant is coasting a bit on its good reviews but for a foodie, while the service and ambiance is good, it wasn’t my favourite meal by a stretch. I paid $100 for my pasta meal with wine. Meh.

While the service was commendable, the food fell short of expectations. The osso buco was dry and tasteless, and our friends' fish was overcooked. Considering the price paid, I don't plan to revisit this restaurant.

Good food but not great. We waited 30mins for our food. Many people that sat before us got their food and we had to ask twice about our food. We ordered 3 things in total and they brought out one dish. Then 30mins later the 2nd dishes. The menu is very limited. The eggs Benedict is good but the bread was dry and the food was cold. The home fries were good but kinda dry. We asked for extra sauce and we were charged. Also we asked for a glass of sparkling water and she brought the whole bottle - would have been nice for her to tell us we’ll be charged for the whole bottle.
