    Great food with great ambience, can't ask for more. We had the surf n turf, which allowed us to sample a bit of the foods available on the menu. It was delicious and more than enough for two people. The service was nice and friendly, overall a great birthday dinner experience.

    Overall good. The soup was very tasty but only luke warm! Soup she be served quite hot. We had to ask for the wine list. It was taken away when the cocktails were served. Nice choice of wines. We were a party of seven and starters did not all come at the same time. For overall was excellent.

    We were there for our daughter in law’s birthday and we’re pretty excited to go. There were 6 of us there for lunch and only notified us 90 minutes prior to our reservation they left message that lunch was no longer being served after 2pm and prior to 4pm even though it was not mentioned on the website at the time I made the reservation. I would have thought that I would have been notified 24 hours prior to when they emailed me to see if I was still coming. Snack menu was incredibly limited. Then when I sat down I thought the lid from the table was going to come off. I mentioned this to our server and she didn’t seem to be too concerned. Didn’t see her too much, water/drink glasses were not refilled during our “lunch”. Drink service was very slow, dishes from the snack menu were not cleared even when the, (again) limited dessert menu was being served. They only had one very old tasting Baked Alaska, and not sure how fresh was the charcuterie board because that wasn’t great either. Like I say, very disappointed because my wife and her friends meet there quite often.

    The food and beverages were excellent. The service was not good. Waitress was inattentive. Table wasn’t cleaned We we’re not offered drinks with our meal and had to ask for them after waiting a significant period of for anytime to return to our table The food was amazing and worth the cost however the poor service takes away from the value
