    Went for restaurant week. Our meal was fantastic and the portions were big for the price point. The server found the right balance between checking in every now and then and giving us the space to have conversation. Everyone in our group said they would eat here again.

    This quiet and elegant restaurant delivers high quality food and service, and we enjoyed every dish on the Restaurant Week menu. The value was excellent, the portions just right, and the attention to detail—including presentation and taste matching—impressive.

    I recommend - but only certain items. 4star meal possible if you make the correct choices, and would be great bang for the buck. First off, we were warmly welcomed and quickly seated. Our waiter, Paul, was great. Quiet, unassuming, but perfectly attentive and ready to answer all questions. Ambiance is wonderful, cozy, quiet, easy to converse. Comfortable. The food was inconsistant from course to course, but please read on to find the perfect choices. The watercress salad was light if you're not a big eater. But the red deer meatballs were delicious and i highly recommend. The seared maple bay chicken was perfectly cooked, very moist and tender. Really liked. But the beet risotto needed more beet for taste and stronger coloring. The stag gnudi was very good as well. The eclair sounded like a sure thing for dessert choice, but was a huge disappointment. Two of us ordered, and neither had any filling! So no mousse or mocha chips, just a dry eclair shell with drizzled dark chocolate on top. IF they rectify that mistake and actually fill the pastries, they would be very good. Instead though, order the bourbon pecan shortbread bars, because they were fantastic. Based on just my meal, i would give only 3stars, but i think with the correct choices it could be a 4star, and a bargain in the $25 category. So i do recommend, but only the specific choices outlined. Great idea for a restaurant, just needs some tweaking.
