Wonderful restaurant for a celebration! All requests were immediately taken care of. 5 out of 6 meals were excellent. The omelette was ok. Notting wrong, just not what was expected. Waitress was attentive but didn’t hover or rush us. We will definitely return.

Perfect meeting place for fine dining. Reservations were a breeze. Courteous welcome upon arrival. Drink menu is perfect- not limited to JF wines and the cocktails are wonderful. We started with the charcuterie board which had in house made crackers, sausage, variety of cheeses and some chutney which was delicious. We all had a different entree and none of us left anything Portions are moderate in size and easy to consume. Others came and left while we were there- some to dine some to just have a drink and sit outside. The chef came out personally to check on us which was a lovely personal touch. This is a great place to eat. Personal attention is given to all patrons. We never felt rushed in fact they were so kind we had no idea we had stayed for over three hours.

Good food, poor service! At the 50 minute mark into our seating, we had received one beverage and nothing else. Very disappointed
