                        La Tana is my go to restaurant. The food, service, and ambience are always outstanding. Perfect for sharing with a small group of friends. As a group of 4, we shared 2 appies and 4 pastas. We each had a favourite, but all were delicious. I especially loved the pasta that looked like wrapped candy with a browned sage sauce...I think. Can't wait to come again. My only small issue is that the noise level is high. Come early or later if you want a quieter dining experience.

                        Food and service are always exceptional, although wine by the bottle prices were a bit high for value. Carpaccio was unfortunately underwhelming, but all other dishes (starters, salads, pastas) were delicious.
