    We had great, quick service. Our server was extremely friendly and the food came out fast. I had the salmon which was delicious. Some of the other food could have used a bit more seasoning but everyone has different tastes. Overall good but expensive

    The restaurant is situated in a shopping area but it is protected by plants and overall has a nice ambience. The menu is delicious, especially the dover sole for two which our guests enjoyed. I loved the wild boar and my husband enjoyed the lamb chops. I chose the Markham Merlot by the glass but the rest of the table enjoyed a lovely Pinot Noir from a nice selection of bottled wines. There was not entertainment during the week; however, on Sundays there is a delightful vocalist. We will be back!!!

    They are remodeling their normal location which is normally very unique. But they are currently using a different space which just is not the same and the staff seem a little disorganized in this space
