Fantastic food and excellent service The scallop and prawn ceviche was so tasty and flavors so rich. The seafood linguini was served in abundance for a very well priced, Prix Fixe menu. Excellent value. The server was very attentive and gave me a good dining experience. Highly recommended. A Neighborhood Gem.

I just love this restaurant. The food is absolutely the best fresh and beautifully served. The service and communication with the hostess/server is how it should be in all restaurants just excellent. The fixed price menu is unbelievable . Catherine Whelan

First time visit, exceeded expectations. Jordan our server was charming and gave us great service and advice. French onion soup delicious, main of duck confit, scalloped potatoes and perfectly roasted veggies were great. Earl grey creme brûlée and the raspberry crumble lovely. Great value and they even have half price bottles of wine Wednesday’s. Going to definitely come back and tell all our friends and family. Their pre-fix menu is a great value and beats any dine out offerings! Looking forward to trying lots of other items on their menu!
