Yesterday, we were served by Naomi, a very attentive waitress. Everything was served very quickly. The food was slightly different from the last time - we ordered the steak with sushi again, and my husband had the blackened chicken, followed by desserts. The chocolate cake was salty, which is probably a Canadian twist, but it felt unusual for us. There was also a girl playing the violin alongside a DJ during our dinner, which made the evening very romantic.
