                                        I knew something was up when we arrived and they asked “when did I make the reservation?” I made made the reservation a month ago. I was confused by the question bc it was evident they had plenty of tables available. Once seated they took our drink orders. But only delivered 2 of the 4 without an explanation. My husband had asked 2 different waitresses about the other drinks and was told “we will check”. Finally after 10 more mins of waiting, we were told they were out of the ingredients. Baffled, my son asked,”you don’t have vodka lime and cranberry juice?” Then his drink appeared! The same happened with our food. 2 meals were delivered to the table and it was mins later until the other 2 came out. We had to keep asking for more water and never was asked if we wanted another drink from the bar. The food was good. But the service really put a damper on the occasion. I would not go back to this restaurant.

                                        We were there to celebrate Xmas and all tables around us have been waiting for an hour for anything - even appetizers. To have the gall of sending a reminder the day before prohibiting any cancellations when the manager failed to arrange enough employees, or assist the employees when they felt overwhelmed. I say felt overwhelmed not actually overwhelmed because there were actually around 1 staff every 3-4 tables and all clients were rather patient, and yet nothing worked. Tables were tiny and yet they decided to put big Christmas centrepiece that took up 1/5 of the table. Also, the space was echoey, The saving grace is that the food was passable - even the baked brie, which was bizarrely a dessert. Horrid experience and very much below the standards of what is expected of an intercontinental experience.

                                        Overall ambience and experience was great. A few issues with some hot foods being cold. Poached eggs were pre-prepared and sitting on a cloth. Pancakes were pre-prepared and were cold and dry. With a few tweaks this breakfast could be a lot better.

                                        The dinner itself was fine. I asked for three different wines, the first two were not available, third one was. The service was hit and miss, empty entree plates must have sat there for a good 15 to 20 minutes. The restaurant was not busy. The rest of the dinner flowed well. In summary it was ok. Don’t think I’ll be rushing back there.
