    Fantastic food and service. Unfortunately we were seated in the front room which lacks noise attenuation. We had to ask to turn the music down due to the above issues

    Bit disappointed, overall. Certainly no complaints with the service - it was very good. But the food was mediocre at best and expensive. Two of the three of us did not really enjoy our meal. Also, did not care for the fact when I made a reservation, I had to give a credit card which would charge per person if I had to cancel. Don't normally cancel but there are weather considerations up here!

    Hi Lyn Thank you for bringing your experience to our attention, were sorry to hear we fell short of expectation's. Regarding our cancellation policy we assure you that we would take weather or emergency situation's seriously which would not result in no show charges being applied. As long as we receive communication we'd be happy to cancel at any time, unfortunately many individuals do not communicate resulting in no show reservations.
