    Such a fantastic evening. Loved every little thing about dinner here. Staff was outstanding, which was quickly followed by an incredible dinner. Cannot say enough good things about this place. Highly suggest the steak tartar to start and the halibut for a main.

    The service and ambiance were great. But we were a bit disappointed with the food. I ordered the duck breast and my husband ordered the steak. They both were just OK. For this price we expected better quality of the cut and also better flavor.

    We had an incredible experience from start to finish and I highly recommend this restaurant. The staff were friendly, very knowledgeable and went out of their way to ensure we had everything we needed. The menu has been carefully considered and offers a wonderful variety of fresh ingredients. We started with the seafood tower which was delicious and excellent value. The cocktails were amazing and the wine list is nicely curated. Can’t wait to go back! Thank you for a lovely evening.

    Overall an incredible evening- from the greeting at the door, incredible cuisine and an outstanding server. Chadi, our server, was one of the best we have encountered in all our travels- it is evident that he loves his job- knowledge of food and wine pairing along with his ability to read his customers needs and wants. Chadi pays incredible attention to every detail- which is important.
