    Great food. Excellent service. But the noise level is overwhelming. Between the loud music and the lack of sound deadening features, it’s really difficult to have a conversation with fellow diners without shouting.

    Apart from the fact that each dish has become substantially smaller in size, the service was terrible. It took our waiter one hour to take our drink order from the time we arrived and then another half hour to take our food order. After that one dish came out at a time.

    We enjoyed a great Friday afternoon lunch. The pork belly was delicious, the devilled egg was surprising and amazing. All the food was wonderful. We have a great time.

    This place has huge potential but it’s lacking a few things. Some food items are not great, like the lobster/cod nachos, the steak tartare is also mediocre and isn’t that appealing, other things were ok. We tried the happy hour red wine and I couldn’t stomach it, it tasted like port but in wine form. I’m not a fan of port so my husband took it from me. For house wine I expect a basic profile easy to drink. Then I ordered a bottle of Sangiovese and it was kinda bitter. I mean, being a wine place you expect every wine to be perfect, regardless of price range. I would like to support our neighbourhood restaurant but they need to pick up the game. The music was not great either, it felt like being in a sports bar. I am not sure when we will go back.

    As an older client I do object to music in an empty restaurant. Or at least lower the volume in areas that want quiet. One should be able to do this with modern sound systems. The food was very good that we had. Service was excellent but it was not busy. Enjoyed the experience, just annoying the music
