    Gorgeous steak, my husband enjoyed the seafood. Music was lovely but not loud. Went with friends and all felt it was a wonderful experience. Service was excellent!

    There are many great restaurants in Peterborough, but for fine dining this is the gold standard. Staff are friendly and food is excellent

    Steaks were excellent. Octopus entree is much smaller than it was last time unfortunately. Waitress (julie?) was excellent

    My partner couldn’t get over how well done the duck was (super dry). The flavour was amazing but it was really distracting and disappointing. I wish that my dish mentioned that it was spicy or at least had a bit of a kick. (I don’t handle spice well and my nose was running halfway through my meal and I couldn’t finish it.) Dessert was great and the appetizer was delicious though. They also cheaped out on the toilet paper in the bathroom which was weird for such an expensive place. Service was good.
