Excellent experience! The service was amazing. The server even had a business card. The food was excellent. They even had a kids menu which was very accommodating. Expensive meal, but worth every cent with the Sea Bass, Wine, and Desserts!

When we were seated we received 3 menus for 4 people. Host said he was going to bring a 4th and after 13 minutes we had to ask for it. Also had to ask for a waitstaff to come by to great us and take our drink order. Once we got the attention of our server and told them we had to be out by 6:50 pm things started happening. After leaving the restaurant we realized we never received our tuna appetizer. Our error because we don’t even know if we were charged for it. We remember ordering it but not sure server heard us. Lesson learned.

I absolutely LOVED this place! Exceptional service! A dozen oysters to start and grilled octopus just outstanding. I had a nice cocktail which was great value, my husband had Black Sea bass and asparagus were extremely delicious. All appetizer’s were excellent, and the dinner rolls were quite possibly the best I've ever had. Octopus appetizer was a favorite at our table. Stunning environment with beautiful wood structure and decor. Very well done. I definitely will give WG 5 ⭐️

It's been quite some time since I've had a flawless dining experience, but this restaurant truly delivered a 10/10! From the delectable food to the impeccable service, everything was spot on. Colin, our server, went above and beyond to ensure we had a fantastic evening. He expertly split our entrée and our tab, making it the perfect hassle-free girls' night out. We can't wait to return and soak up the summer vibes!
