    Seated quickly, server was very attentive, food was excellent. Had the Cavatelli with Lobster, the Short Rib Poutine and the Banana Cake Dessert. The flavors of everything were awesome with some really interesting spices, preparation was perfect. The cavatelli dish is enough to split for two. Best meal we've had in the Wayne/Strafford/Devon area in a while. Note we were seated in the first booth to the right of the host desk, it was a cold evening, and this spot can be a bit drafty so if you do not like the cold, ask for another spot.

    Excellent as Usual———I saw someone eating an avocado toast, and it looked so good I tried it, it was divine and the truffle fries outstanding. My husband really enjoyed his Special Breakfast and of course the flower pot bread with the cinnamon butter was so good.. The non alcoholic drinks were so tasty. I have had the alcoholic ones before, and they are great, but decided on non-alcoholic this time.. No complaints!!
