    Our server was good. However, one of orders was 15 minutes behind everyone elses. Some of the food wasnt great/ the. Potatos were overcooked and the calamari was very chewy. Other than that most tapas or entrees were good.

    We were able to sit before our reservation time and in a corner booth. Our dining experience was very pleasant and the waiter was flexible. Our small plates and entrees arrived at the same time by request. The Raw Oysters from Prince Eduard Island were perfect as well as the Mushroom Fricassee we choose to go with the delicious 8 oz Filet Mignon. Do not miss the Dirt Pie Mousse with a shot of expresso to finish the evening. I will be bringing my friends

    Came for pre-dinner drinks and to catch the sunset. The sunset view was absolutely stunning. I’m not a Tequila drinker but tried the Zalamero based upon the servers recommendation, and it was delish. Tried the Pork belly buns and the Pomme Pave which were both very good. Definitely a place to try!
