We had an early service Saturday diner. Service was great and the Octopus Carpacio, iceberg salad, Aloette burger and scallops were amazing. The ambiance was ok, bit loud for us though. The one thing that requires improvements are the non-alcoholic cocktails…. We had 2 different ones served in a tall glass basically full of ice, extremely average presentation and the only thing we could taste was lime. For $12 each we expected a lot better. Overall 4/5.

Second time there and did not disappoint. A few drips coming down from where the tree goes through the sky light but no big deal. Layers off and on relatively to heaters off and on but no big deal. Every dish was yummy and drinks too.
