    It was lovely yet disappointing that we made a reservation weeks in advance and were stuck in a corner.

    We had a lovely table and wonderful server! We enjoyed our cocktails and appetizers! We were surprised with Cheescake on a stick for the 2 Birthday Girls! Really good and a very unexpected touch!

    Menu in the lounge is for small bites - no entrees. Food was very average. Great server.

    I loved the old menu not a fan of this autumn menu. we dined 2 times. November 3 and 4. The first night set next to a family with children (dining room was empty). Monday night, I thought the chicken was terrible. Trout was good and I had both nights. Made my son eat the chicken but even the trout not as good on Monday. We wanted to try Confederation Lounge but the music too loud and seemed cold. Harvest Room , the music perfect for me. I realize music and food subjective.

    New fall lunch menu is very limited and very pricy; also found it off-putting that the server tried to ‘up-sell’ all the guests at every opportunity and with every interaction

    Great date night with my wife. The food was spectacular with a special shout out for the hummus plate. The beverages were perfect. Thanks Carmen and Gwen for making our evening so perfect.
