Excellent service. The wait staff and front desk were very helpful. I haven’t received such good service like that since even pre pandemic. Our waitress was helping service our 27 people table and she knew I was sharing an order with a friend, she had our iceberg wedge salad cut in half and served to us on two plates… We were sharing the steak as well and so she had gotten us an extra empty plate .. all without us even asking! The front desk girl was so nice with asking us if we needed a few photo since she saw we were trying to take one. Really appreciate it, the night was enjoyable for everyone! 10/10 would definitely come back next year with the same large group!

Wide tables and comfortable seating means lots of space for food, but not as intimate for sitting close on a date. The candlelight, soft colours, and overall colours make for a cool, subtle upscale experience. The decor does well to counterbalance the overstimulation of being in such an enthusiastic volume of other diners. Delicious desserts (carmelized cheesecake and the seasonal pecan tart were great), and the plant-based options are a blessing for vegetarian diners. Pay attention that the V on the menu means the dish can be made vegetarian, but does not seem to be inherently vegetarian. Mention your food restrictions up front! Staff were polite with great memories, and checked in, but were not nosy. It struck a good balance. Paying is an atypical touchscreen but smooth. Bathroom doors are very heavy without automation, so heads up for accessibility concerns.

Our party of 3 was at the restaurant to celebrate our friend's 95th birthday. Both our servers were exceptional and very efficient even with the restaurant being very busy. Food was very tasty and arrived in a timely manner. A complimentary glass of Prosecco and a delicious dessert along with a birthday candle and song was delivered to our table.....the recipient was so pleased. Thank you for your fine service......it was a wonderful celebratory outing for all of us.

Il Fornello has continued to refine the restaurant since opening. It's now become a top choice for a nice evening out to either unwind from the week or celebrate an event. Great client experience.

Amazing dinner, beautiful place…only thing….small thing….the walls are very thin, or seem to be, there was a wedding going on and the doors were opening and closing over and over and over, very clearly loud….but in saying all that, you cannot control people so, would highly recommend.
