Everything was perfect literally from start to finish. From my cosmopolitan drink (no one ever does them right but this one was perfect!!) right to the creme brule for dessert. Not to mention the service was impeccable! Can't believe we've waited this long to enjoy this Barrie gem!

My friend had some issues and the staff were kind enough to put him on the elevator to the men's room. Both servers were really exceptional. Denise Maw

Delicious as usual! We went for Valentine’s Day and they had a special menu which forced us to try something new. Food was amazing as always. Service was great, ambiance was very romantic. It was a great dining experience.
