The food and service were amazing. We had the vodka pasta as an entree and it’s is plenty to share between 2 or even 3. We also had the scallops - oh my goodness. The chicken main dish was not our favourite but the eye filler and mash were the best I have had on the GC. You can not fault the wine selection or the service.
