Service and food were great. As with everything at that fairmont it was a little pricy. Service was adequate but nothing over the top. The seafood grill was amazing.

We loved the seafood grill for two. Came with a large variety of food and sauces. Sangria was delicious and they even brought a complimentary birthday dessert tailored to my food sensitivities! Highly recommend!

Wonderfully prepared meal served on the tabletop grill. We ordered Seafood Robatayaki Experience "for one", but the server put the order "for two". The portions were pretty large, so it was more food than we anticipated, but the meal was delicious.
