Vegetarian selection is limited. Their willingness to substitute their meat dishes to vegetarianize the dish is limited. Service was warm and friendly. Appetizers and food quality was good. Overall value for money was ok.

We had the most amazing visit. Honourable mentions are the zucchini blossoms, beef carpaccio, skate wing, parapadelle, patate fritas and THAT HAZELNUT TARTE! Wow! Flavours were all balanced and so pleasant. Thanks for not skimping on the capers. Portions were perfect for 3 gals sharing. Didn’t leave hungry or painfully full. We ate our plates clean. We tried 3/5 house cocktails and they were expertly crafted, refreshing and delicious. Everything was exceptional, service was knowledgeable and seamless. All staff were approachable and friendly and made the experience feel like home. We will absolutely be back. 100%

We made this reservation with two other couples after not being able to make reservations at one of our favourite restaurants. This was a suggested restaurant by OpenTable. We are so grateful as the service was extremely attentive (we never had to ask for water to be refilled, they constantly monitored this on their own) and the food exceeded any expectations we had. The focaccia is a must have, as well as the ravioli, steak and pork chops. In fact, there wasn’t one dish that we were unhappy with. A wonderful experience all around.

Hi Cia, Thank you so much for your kind words. We're so glad that you took a chance on us and that you enjoyed your time so much! Our menu will be evolving over the summer as local produce comes into season so please come back soon.
