   Had a 7:00pm reservation but was told when we checked in it could be up to a 30 minute wait. Luckily, we were seated about 15 minutes later. We placed our entree orders about 7:30p. That was the last time we heard from our server or anyone else for the next 45 minutes. No drink refills or water refills. Nothing. About 8:30pm, our servers stopped at the table and asked if anyone had told us that the kitchen was running behind by 45 minutes. We told her that it had already been almost an hour. But we did get our water refilled. Which was nice. So now it’s around 9:15pm(two hours after being seated) and we asked again the status of our entrees. She told us that we were next up after the table next to us received their food. The same table that was seated 15 minutes after us. When I asked the server the reason why things were taking so long, her reply was “I’m not really sure”. We did get our food a little after 9:30p and it was incorrect. Three of the steaks were cooked correctly but cold. And the fourth was cooked rare instead of medium. And we were missing a side dish. After sending the rare steak back to the kitchen, another 15 minutes went by. It came back still rare. And we were still missing the side dish. So after almost 2.5 hours we said screw it and asked for the check. No manager ever stopped by. They ended up comping our 2 glasses of wine for the trouble. What a joke.

   Food was very good. Unfortunately, our server Jackie seemed distracted by other things during our visit. She was nice enough, but we had to flag her down to order drinks after sitting for about 20 minutes. Our table was not cleared of empty plates for another 15-20 minutes because many of the staff were busy visiting in the kitchen and not paying attention to customers. We requested 2 desserts to go, Jackie nicely brought them by, and then never came back with our check. We had to go ask the host to find her and bring our check, which took another 10 minutes. Jackie seemed to be focused on other issues besides her customers. Other tables around us were served with much more attention by their servers.

   1. Not enough servers to handle the number of diners. 2. Miscommunications re: price of wine and specific entree choice. 3. Lack of follow-through on requests.

   Food was sub par for the price. Steaks charred on the outside and blue on the inside. Definitely not cooked to the temperature requested. It felt like the waiter was upset when you asked any questions at all. Won’t be going back or recommending it.

   We always enjoy the appetizer, seafood tower. It includes lobster, tiger shrimp, oysters, ahi tuna and jumbo Alaska crab legs. Pair this appetizer with a savory onion soup or wedge salad and it’s perfect for 3 Or 4 people for dinner.

   If you're doing lunch, try the Business Lunch special. The crab and lobster bisque is as good as it gets, the chicken and steak are excellent. $35 a plate and you won't need dessert. They have some pretty crafty cocktails and a great wine list. Angelina was our server and she made the meal even better. The restaurant is on the second floor so park on the upper level in the parkade.
