    I took my boyfriend here the other day for his birthday and we had an amazing time. This was the first time either of us experienced a coat check for a restaurant which came as a surprise, but that was a very appreciated detail of the overall experience. Our waiter Isaac was phenomenal. He was very thorough in describing the food, as well as the reason for different things that they add to the food to enhance the aroma and flavour. He was very personable and provided outstanding customer service. The food was amazing. We had the beef Wellington experience, which was done by Isaac himself. It came out phenomenal. We also had the New York steak as well as the mac & cheese and those were also amazing. And of course to top it off, we had to have the 13 layer cake which I highly recommend. Isaac has also recommended some drinks for us, which were really good. We both really enjoy our time there and will definitely come back.

    Emily, our server, was a delight. It was not a busy evening so she had time to talk with us. She made the evening very special for us. We were old friends catching up and requested a table where we could sit and be able to speak without too much noise and that is exactly what we got. The renovations are lovely, the food was delicious and half price bottles of wine were all reasons it was a lovely evening.
