                                                        Great little restaurant in North Burnaby. Beautiful ambiance, has fresh flowers everywhere. The food was delicious and the service by Sante was exceptional. He was very funny, professional and checked on us often. We would highly recommend for a romantic dinner, family or celebration.

                                                        Food was the star here. Felt like I was getting the exact plate of food from my nonna it was very good. The atmosphere was good but it was just little things that was off. I felt like before walking in it was very fine dine and it's more a resteraunt feel than a fine dine experience, as I thought it was more upscale dining. Service was average but a good average of that makes sense. Only reason I say average is because when you get in the staff were kinda of just staring at us all the time hahah made it a little awkward at first but we brushed it off and had a good time non the less. overall 7/10 for us but a strong 7 as the food saved this whole experience. It was also my wife's bday and they were nice enough to give our dessert on the house so shout out for thay it was much appreciated
