Excellent experience; food was delicious, portions were the perfect size & our waitperson was accommodating and helpful. A single criticism would be the absence of skim milk for coffee, but overall a great experience & we'll be back.

The serving sizes were generous and the flavours were good. However, for the price of the food and drinks, I would not consider the service to be in alignment. The food service was fast, but the drink service was slow. We ordered a cocktail, and they added in additional ingredients. Even when questioned on why they added in additional ingredients, which weren't on the menu, they did not offer to remake the drink in line with what was listed as ingredients on the menu. It also took a while to be able to request a top up of wine. The overall experience was nice.

his is our all-time favorite go-to dining establishment. They consistently over-deliver in all aspects—service, cuisine, atmosphere—and the owner, along with his staff, is fantastic. We will continue to visit our favorite dining place of excellence.
