The food was great however we waited 25 minutes for the first group to leave beyond their time slot. Staff were apologetic but thought they could of encouraged the previous group to move on as we were waiting for our table. A little compensation would of gone a long way. Good luck in your new location…..exciting times.

This restaurant will close at its present location in a few weeks. Maybe that is affecting the operations of the establishment. Based on previous reviews, we expected more. However, our experience was average at best - not close to the elevated dining experience we were looking forward to. Hopefully they will improve their standards at the new location.

A varied menu of Italian pasta favorites as well as veal and chicken dinners. Seafood and Lamb are specialties and very delicious. They have good wine choice from the Okanagan Valley as well as Italian wines by the carafe. Nice surroundings and fabulous servers.

This was my 5th time at this lovely restaurant. They were able to take care of my niece’s dietary needs (gluten sensitivity) with no trouble. All meals were delicious. At a previous visit, a friend who has travelled widely said that the halibut special was the best halibut she had ever had. Highly recommend the Negroni for those who like cocktails that are not too sweet.

The only complain is the noise from traffic on the outside. For such a nice restaurant, the placing of the tent drags down the rating considerably. Food is great but gas fumes are not.

We have been looking for a fine dining restaurant like this for several years. The hostess was professional and the service we received from Steph was attentive and pleasant. The menu had so many dishes we like it was hard to choose. The food was absolutely delicious and made our anniversary a special celebration.

Wonderful service by Angel, and the extra attentiveness of a birthday acknowledgment and dessert was very much appreciated, the food was great as expected. You may be a victim of your own success as it was very crowded and thus very noisy. Our 10 visit and we will continue our habit of visiting on our special occasions. Well done!
