    The food was impeccable, creative, and elegant. Familiar flavours that came together in a completely unique way, with a wonderful balance of textures and flavours. The staff and service were also very attentive, personable, and hospitable. Every detail of care and service was attended to. And it was a good amount of food, which is not always the case in fine dining — I was struggling to fit in my jeans at the end!

    Oh my gosh, this was such a fabulous restaurant! It was so pretty inside. They still had decorations up for Christmas and it was spectacular. As I walked in the door, I saw a lady who was hand making ravioli. I had to have it! I got the lobster ravioli and it was amazing. Leftovers for lunch today. It was a nice touch having an offer of amaretto or Sambuca at the end of our meal complementary. It was a nice place to celebrate my husband‘s birthday. I highly recommend it.

    My partner & I arrived about 25 minutes early for my reservation. There was no one in the bar area or at the host stand. A male employee eventually appeared. I told him I was there earlier than my reservation & gave him my name. He told us to stand to the side. Other patrons appeared behind us. Another male employee questioned us & I told him I had a reservation & had already been seen by another employee. The 1st male employee appeared with menus & seated us. He was very attentive and took our drink & food orders. We each ordered the Matchbox Mimosas- very tasty. I ordered the salmon & grits- the server suggested I get the salmon blackened. I told him that's fine unless it makes the dish salty. The meal was tasty but a little salty. My partner got the salad & calamari. He really enjoyed it. We both got coffee. Mine was decaf. We were there over 3 hours. Except for trying to check in at Matchbox the experience was good.
