We had the sharing menu which offered a number of dips, hot and cold appetizers, main and dessert. Loads of food for our group and a perfect mix. Our server was lovely as well as the host. Very attentive and helpful. Only issue was that they were sold out of some of the wine we wanted but we understand that to be a supplier issue. Overall I would definitely return. And plan to try their Oakville location also!
