The atmosphere is nice: a good mix of bar area, taller tables with stools for groups of various sizes, nice booths, plus a quieter area of table and chairs toward the north end which looks good for quiet conversation over drinks. The food was creative and good. The service was exception: both the greeter and the waitress and the person keeping water glasses and busing were all friendly, very welcoming, and genuinely cared if we were enjoying the meal and if there was anything we needed. A good experience overall!

We went in after the hockey game, got some apps, split the scallops and had a couple drinks. The food was fantastic. Highly recommend the deviled eggs and oysters. The scallops were also very good. We will be going again for a full dinner.

Our experience was quite nice. We went for our anniversary dinner. Upon getting to the table, the wait staff had written out a Happy Anniversary card, which was a nice touch. The atmosphere was pleasant and the waitress was very attentive. My steak was delicious but my wife’s scallops were just ok she said. We liked the restaurant enough to go back for breakfast the next day, and the breakfast was quite tasty. Overall, we would definitely come back and try it again.

It was a nice dinner. Not as many choices as I remembered from quite a while ago and I didn't feel the food was as good. Service was great.

We had a large group on the way to the ballet, and they really looked after us. I’m addition to everything they already do right, they made sure we were out in plenty of time to see our show. It was perfect!

We went on Valentines day and the staff was overwhelmed. It took 90 minutes to get our meal and they only took our drink order once, never checked on drinks or water before the meal got there. The seasoning on my pork chop was way to salty. Had to cut away the grilled edge. Knowing they leaving you hanging for so long, they should have been buy to offer bread or snacks or something. A simple "we are soo busy" did not cut it. I could see they were in over there heads. Won't be back.

Valentines Day. We came here several times. The menu was much better years ago. We did the valentine special. The meal was good. The panna cotta was too small. The salad was very average. The main corse and dessert made up for it though. Service was good but we requested orange slices and they never came.

Great service and yummy food. Chicken was a little undercooked but the waitress was kind enough to take it off our bill even though we ate it anyway and practically licked the plate.
