    First time to this restaurant and will be back! They gave us a lovely table at the window and cheese board was amazing. Next time we want to check out the back outside patio which looks wonderful or stop in for one of the wine tastings.

    We went on Valentine's Day (also the day of the Eagles parade) so perhaps the experience was atypical. The restaurant appeared to be completely full. We were seated almost on time (we had reserved for 7:15) at a table in what felt like an annex, next to a passageway. A server took our drinks order pretty quickly, but 30 minutes later nothing had arrived. The server noticed and requested them again; finally, 40 minutes after being seated we had our pre-dinner drinks. An appetizer was served 20 minutes later, and close to 8:45 we had our main plates. That was it. At 9:15 the server put a bill on the table without ever asking if we wanted dessert. Service was equally slow at a couple of tables around us, though other diners managed at least to have a full meal. The server was very busy and most of the time had her back to us, so the situation was not entirely her fault; clearly the restaurant was understaffed and there were mutterings about "problems in the back." Nevertheless the food was very good, especially the crispy tofu and pan-fried haddock with apple slaw. There are many good restaurants on the Main LIne now, however, so I'm not sure we will be back to this one.

    Four of us had dinner, charcuterie/cheese plate plus mains. Food was very good, but each of the mains came out at different times. Had this been tapas, maybe it would have been OK, but it meant that the first three people had cold mains because we waited for everything to arrive before digging in. Subsequently, there was no check-in for follow up drinks or even dessert for over an hour, so we went elsewhere for those. Great location, pretty (and comfortable) facility, and very good and interesting food, but service was at best fair.

    We loved the shareables and the mocktails. Our server was wonderful. Our special occasion was celebrated with a complimentary dessert. All in all we had lovely experiences both the times we went. We can’t wait to go again!
