   First time there, beautiful restaurant! Felt well curated, vibrant and like a peeking inside a jewel box. Friendly and attentive service, interesting food with fabulous flavours. So happy to find you!

   My sister and I had the 'early bird' three-course dinner. Beautiful salad, flavourful entree and just the right amount of sweet richness for dessert. Very reasonably priced, the service was energetic and excellent. Highly recommended.

   Veg and parsnip with sablefish was cold. I would have sent it back but didn’t want to disturb my friends’ dinner. I am a professional cook.

   The early bird menu offered choices and the our selection of salad, seafood dish, and dessert were excellent for a very reasonable price. Our server also did an excellent job.

   I found the entree just ok this time. The $17 five ounce glass of wine was over priced. We have been coming here regularly for years. The meal was disappointing.

    Excellent service and I would go back for this. Good attractive ambience lighting Comfortable setting all good for me. Food: Gnoch carbonara was good but I couldn’t help thinking carbonara spaghetti would be better. Same with bolognese should be spaghetti too. I ordered tagleatelle bolognese. Bolognese sauce was good but for the lack of good words not quite tasty or complex. Finally miso sablefish didn’t taste sable fish. For me it is too much of sweetness and saltiness killed the fish. I like sablefish marinated or glazed but normally you would want to taste the firm and tender flesh with slight natural oiliness. This dish didn’t have any of it. I would come back for the staff. They re very nice attentive and comforting.
