    We waited an hour for our table on a Tuesday night which was the only let down. Food is excellent especially the filet Mignon! Delicious! The staff gave us a complimentary glass of champagne because we waited so long to eat, which was appreciated. Overall I would come back and dine as long as the wait isn’t an hour next time! 10/10 food!

    Our first visit to this iconic restaurant was excellent. We loved the Rocket Salad starter and were blown away by our main course, the sautéd mac nut and herb crusted fresh fish (Halibut) - delicious! Our server, Ally, was fabulous. For dessert, she recommended the Hula Pie - holy moly that was amazing! We visited on a weekday night at 6pm in mid-Nov and the place was not crowded at all. We self-parked but were still charged $10, the only disappointment of the evening.

    It was my mother’s birthday. Normally, we’d like to sit outside to enjoy the view, but since it was too cold we remained indoors. Despite that, we received great seats and saw a nice sunset. We were also impressed with the Autumn menu with dishes we haven’t seen before. Overall, it was a treat. We’ll return soon.
