    We chose Hy's to celebrate a special occasion and were not disappointed! The food was delicious, our server (Dino) was outstanding, and the ambiance was great with live music playing in the restaurant. We elected to go with some of the tableside-created dishes and they were not only delicious but added some additional interest to our meal. This is definitely a place we will return to for special occasions.

    You cannot beat the Vintage Chophouse. Exceptional food, service, ambience. Love the lounge atmosphere. 14 oz Rib eye best around. My wife had the 8oz tenderloin Oscar, says it’s the best she’s ever had. Great wine recommendations by our server. Top notch. One of my favourite places for years.

    This restaurant was recommended to me by my son and it was a wonderful experience. The ambience was lovely and the service excellent. The steaks were done perfectly and our salmon was delicious. The only thing that would have been better, is to include a vegetable with the dinner and not have to buy on the side. We will be going return!

    Very pleasant business lunch. Room had perfect ambience with the ability to connect and discuss important matters with our client. Service from Nick was spot on, informative, formal but still warm and charismatic. He was there when we needed him and offered appropriate space when we didn't. His timing for drinks/orders etc. was perfection. Would not hesitate to book another business lunch here or romantic dinner date for that matter.
