It has plenty of parking out front, my party arrived early and decided to have a cocktail at the bar as happy hour was running $8 cocktails. It was Thursday and the restaurant was only 20% full. Initially seated under a flickering light, but was moved upon request. The food order was taken promptly and the steak was excellent and cooked to order. I would go again, plenty of spacing, lovely ambience, excellent food, quiet and service was excellent.

Every server was kind, helpful and accommodating . They took measures to meet our every need . When the wind kicked outdoors they asked if we wanted to move indoors or have a heater brought over. We didn’t even ask . We must have interacted with 6 people and each and every one of them was wonderful.

Flavours were perfect with extensive options in the menu. We had vegetarian guests with us and they too enjoyed the food equally! Chef was happy to adjust the spice levels to make it very spicy and we loved it! Special drinks menu was interesting- Hedwig and Lod Chong were truly amazing!
