Mine and my parents first time there. My dad is a food critic (not officially-just VERY picky with quality, quantity, and price) and thought the food was INCREDIBLE and the ambiance was great. My mom really enjoyed the mousse and whipped ricotta… we will be going back for my 21st birthday!

Being seated behind a giant brick pillar that blocks the whole stage makes for a less than wonderful experience. We were offered two different tables blocked by the pillar with no acknowledgment of the lack of view of the band. Paying a 6% entertainers fee when you can’t see the entertainers is frustrating. The risotto was amazing, service was fine.

It was a surprise to have a jazz band playing when we came in on Sunday morning. Drinks were good and the menu had brunch well covered. It was expensive for what it was (eggs and a few drinks).

We were early for our reservation and offered to sit at the bar until our table was ready. They forgot about us and ended up seating us at the same empty table that was empty when we arrived. Food was good, music and ambiance were lovely.

It was good but $18 add on for chicken on my pasta is a little ridiculous in my opinion. Good food though and good vibe although they did give us a 5% entertainment fee and no music played

Truly wonderful experience. Jazz band started as we sat down and played at just the right volume to have a conversation and jiggle to the tunes. We were very close to the stage and the waiter was attentive and good humoured. Food was delicious and cocktails were very satisfying. Will be back!
