    Beautiful restaurant, service was good. Food was tasty, but expensive (which is what we expected). We waited quite a bit for our food, so I’m glad we ordered the corn bread, which was delicious. The lighting was shockingly bright and took away from the ambience of the dinner, which would be my biggest feedback! Overall good experience.

    Enjoy a night out with family. Wanted the mussels but daughter has nuts allergies so that was a no. So we went right for the mains. The salmon with curry was out of this world. So delicious. Others had the burger and fries and were not disappointed. It is not an inexpensive meal but the quality is worth it. My only negative is that basic beer and wine choices seem a bit expensive. But they do offer drink specials on different nights. For me, both the food and service were stellar so we will definitely be back.
