The food was amazing and cooked perfectly. Our waiter, Jake, was funny and attentive. Restaurant is small so noise level was a bit high but I could still have conversation with my table easily.

We a had a wonderful dinner before attending a show. Our waiter Sean was attentive, friendly and knowledgeable. Everything was delicious from our antipasto platter, cocktails, pasta dishes and crème brûlée with biscotti. I had the pasta with mushrooms and I would definitely order it again. Homemade biscotti was to die for! Looking forward to returning.

Thames Landing was close to our hotel and have it a shot. We were very happy with the food- I had the smash burger which was delicious and my wife had the pasta with lobster and she said it was perfect. Service was on point- very nice and was attentive. The ambience could be a bit better/ the lighting was a shade too light in my opinion but overall was a great experience and we would go back.
