                                              The food and service are consistently good. The ambiance is lively and quiet enough to have a conversation. Fabulous local spot!

                                              First time here … what I would call as a great neighbourhood restaurant. The food was VERY good … if there was a 4.5 rating I would have given that. Our waiter was very very good. The restaurant is very loud and interior a bit dated. If I lived close by I would definitely frequent often.

                                              Service was absolutely impeccable until the end of our meal when we waited quite an extraordinary long time for a dessert item. We had to ask for the item multiple times before it finally arrived. If there was a reason for the delay, it would’ve been helpful to know and that would’ve made waiting a little more pleasant.

                                              Friends recommended 12 Tables and it did not disappoint. The salmon tartar starter was so fresh and delicious and the black cod over delivered on my expectations. Delicious meal. Service was friendly and food was prompt. A delightful dinner.
