Went for brunch. Food was fairly average, with some items on the plate hot, while others were tepid. Service and ambience were good, however.

Attentive service, amazing food, fantastic selection of scotch/whiskeys and we enjoyed a great bottle of wine with dinner. Ambiance of the restaurant is wonderful and its layout is broken up so while busy, the noise level doesn’t make you feel like you have to shout when talking with each other.

Wow, just wow! This was my first time trying Chef Colin’s food and it certainly won’t be my last!! The steak cooked on the open fire had such a depth of flavour, and the handmade pasta was a highlight of the meal! Finally, finished off the meal with the ooey gooey cake, that truly couldn’t believe was gluten free. Fabulous service, lovely atmosphere and overall fantastic meal. We will be back!
