    A bit pricy for what you get. The burger was so-so, under seasoned and had to be sent back because it was under cooked. The Girrela (sp) was good, but nothing spectacular. The best part of the experience was our enthusiastic waitress (Gabby (sp)). I realize high rent may be driving the high prices, but maybe it's too much space for, what seems, to be a first restaurant venture. We have other choices for such a high price point to choose from that have more diverse menu options and better execution.

    Absolutely fabulous atmosphere and loved the vibe! Food was delicious! My husband and I swapped plates to try everything and loved the flavors! My daughter devoured her meal and loved playing with the coloring/game page! Service was cheerful and super friendly! We celebrated my husband’s birthday and the lit sorbet and gelato was very tasty!

    Staff was very nice and knowledgeable, it was very loud not my preference. Food was good but not so good that I would come again for how expensive it is. I liked the drinks more.

    With a reservation, the first table we were seated at was at the entrance and high traffic and cold air from the door. Had to request a move and was seated at a good table in the back of the restaurant. They knew where they were seating us and frankly, I sometimes think hosts try to offer the worst tables to get them filled. Two of us had still water and two had soda water. Server mixed it up several times. Food orders: Four orders. Bolognese was great. Half chicken is good but difficulty getting the meat off the bone. Salmon was very good. Cod was just bad, you take cheap fish and sauce it up, it's still cheap fish Check for a couple of cocktails and four meals: $335 + tip. Was it a value? I would have paid the same at Flemmings and know their level of consistency is predictable. It will take a little encouragement for me to return.

    My husband and I were visiting our daughter, who lives just a few blocks from your restaurant. She recommended we go here for dinner, so I made the reservation. We arrived a little early, so we grabbed drinks in your downstairs bar. Such a cool vibe and drinks and service were excellent! We went upstairs for dinner and everything was amazing. We all had something different and each of us were completely satisfied with our meals. Service was great as well. We can’t wait to visit again and come back!!
