Room and ambience very relaxing. Cocktail and wine selection delicious. Halibut good but could have been tastier. Too many artichokes. Brownie for dessert was crusty but ice cream delicious. Service very attentive.

We came here for our birthdays and we were incredibly blown away by the service and the food. We had shrimp and lobster wontons and the miso mustard was 10/10. Then for entree we had the petite filet and waygu hanger, both outstanding. Sides were whipped potatoes and creamed spinach. I would highly recommend this place the food was just amazing.

Outstanding Service, lovely food and charming atmosphere. Burgers, truffle fries, Desert Board and Gingerbread Chai Latte were very tasty. We were seated outside under heaters which was perfect thanks to good weather. They offered Seasonal Cocktails and they were passing hors d'oeuvres while we were waiting to be seated. This cafe is situated in Terrain and it was so beautifully decorated for Christmas including a snow machine. This was my 2nd visit and Restaurant staff are excellent.
