    Food was DELICIOUS! The whole staff was so attentive, patience, and gracious the whole time we were there. We arrived a little early and they still sat us with no problem. Walked us through the menu, and checked in on us throughout the evening. The cocktails were "shockingly good" as my brother kept saying. The food was perfectly paced, and surprising-but-familiar flavors. Nothing overly showy or weird, but all beautiful. We'll be back!

    The tasting menu was a wise and no doubt popular choice. You get to choose your favourite dish in each category on the menu, and can then order new or repeat choices on the next round. All for a reasonable fixed price. The variety and sumptuous flavours were a delight, made all the more enjoyable by the live piano and guitar music. And the volume level was perfect, enabling easy conversation with table companions. Good service, too! I'll be going back many times.
