The ambience was very nice. Service was quick but not intrusive. 65th birthday celebration and locale was gracious enough to offer a dessert. Both of our meals were professionally prepared and delicious. Will be back

Our favorite restaurant. Whenever we want to celebrate, get together with friends or family, or have a date night this is our place! Consistently fantastic in every way. There is a reason you need to make reservations well in advance. Feel so lucky to live so close to one of the best restaurants in GTA
