  If you don't mind paying a bit more for quality and creativity....I actually prefer to pay more for the extra care and attentiveness we received....
  Service was very pleasant and attentive. Our server was very helpful when making our wine selection for our meal. Everyone's meal was delicious.
  When I go out to a fine dining establishment that costs a couple of hundred dollars for two people to dine, I do it not only for the food, but the overall experience. If I just wanted food, I'd go to Montana's for 30% of the cost. It was not busy. There were lots of empty tables. We arrived for our reservation time and there was no one at the front table to greet us. We waited 5 minutes before I went around the privacy wall to allow staff in the dining area to see that we were there. The young lady who's job it was to greet and seat guests then saw me and promptly came to help us. She barely said two words. Just asked our name and suggested we follow her. No smile, no frown…just a straight face. She didn't ask how we were doing, or if it was a special occasion, or make us feel special in any way. Just sat us and walked away. Our server did an adequate job right up until we finished our main course. Not an outstanding job, or even great job, just adequate. She didn't do anything wrong, just didn't speak much or engage in any conversation aside from taking our order. She put a couple of dessert menus on our table and said she'd be right back. I wanted an after dinner cappuccino but she didn't give me an opportunity to ask. We waited 15 minutes before she came back. I almost didn't order it but I did and regretted it. Another 15 minutes later a gentleman brought me the drink and I asked for the bill immediately as by then I was almost angry. I didn't enjoy the cappuccino at that point & didn't even want it. We paid and got out of there before we lost more time. We were totally neglected (as was the couple at the table beside us). I feel robbed. They didn't hesitate to charge me the same amount for the bill as they would if it was great service. They knew it was bad (she apologized), yet I still paid the same amount. I sit here the day after feeling like I haven't been out for a fine dining experience, and yet I'm out a couple of hundred dollars.

  Once again we were treated to a top notch meal with exceptional service.
  I had the gnocchi in Madeira sauce with beef tenderloin strips and it was to die for. There was no lunch menu which I miss just the regular dinner menu but the food was outstanding. Our server was delightful and attentive and we enjoyed the carrot cake cheesecake for dessert
  Excellent meal and service, as has always been the case. The Artic Char was amazing!
  Always incredible service and fantastic food. Enjoyed the new patio for the first time and it is beautiful out there, though the road noise can be a little loud at times. Really great cocktail list and very impressive wine selection. Very allergen/gluten friendly.

  The duck breast is a must have, it is always cooked perfectly and the taste is out of this world. Would highly recommend to anyone!
  very disappointed - very limited lunch menu - waitress outstanding - food was so so comments from 6 people -nothing to brag about. Food very expensive for quality. Website should indicate more clearly brunch is weekends only.

  Very good,except I was a bit disappointed in the salmon. Actually, not the salmon per-we, but what was with it. I probably should have read the menu more carefully. Thanks

  Not all beers and meals were available which is frustrating but the food was excellent and generally a nice spot with friendly service. Salmon was to die for!

However, we are glad that our team managed to meet your needs with our top-notch service and delicious salmon entre. We look forward to serving you in the future!
  The meal was okay but I expected more for the price. The special was a prime rib diner for $50, but if you wanted an appetizer it was not included. They did bring some very dry bread out and butter but it wasn't anything special. We usually go to another steak house in the area but decided to try something new. We will likely go back to the other steak house since we get a far better meal for the same money. The other guys give you a salad or soup, entre and desert. Overall the service was good. No complaints on the atmosphere. Beautiful place.

  Server was attentive and great. Especially after we found out she was new. Great hire!!!!

  Unfortunately we did not have a good experience. While our server was efficient, she was so efficient she did not wait for orders from all guests several times. When she asked if everything was ok, it was cursory and she was gone before one guest could advise the shrimp was missing from the pasta. When the shrimp came it was not fully cooked. Overall not a great experience at a premium price. Time to find a new place to meet.
  Our server was amazing she made our evening extra special and showed interest in us. We will be back again
  Great food and wonderful service. I'll certainly come back.
  while our waitress was very nice she had difficulty in allocating the correct prices to our 2 bills- bills had to be redone 3 times
  Our brunch experience was perfect, exactly what we wanted. Good quality Eggs Benedict with very tender peameal and a delicious mushroom omelette with pancetta and gorgonzola. Delicious fingerling potatoes to accompany and small muffins with housemade marmelade. Topped by mimosas. The service was excellent -- friendly, prompt and very welcoming.
  I had booked/reserved a table for four for my husband's birthday and they put us in a back room that was clearly for overflow dining. I noticed we had passed a few tables on our way to the very back of the restaurant that could have accommodated us and that did not have a reserved sign on the tables. The decor where we were sitting was plain and utilitarian, clearly not decorated like the rest of the restaurant. Our server hardly came back to the table to check on us the whole evening. The mussels were full of sand and smelled incredibly strong/fishy. We were all very disappointed with the food and service. It was so surprising as my husband and I had such a great first experience for our first visit a couple of months ago. I had specifically chosen this restaurant for my husband's birthday because of that.

  Food was incredible. Service was good, wasn't very busy or noisy. Recommended!
  Great food, environment, and service. Our waiter was awesome - unfortunately can't remember her name. Very nice wine list. My family and I had a great time and will definitely look to return
  I called the restaurant to talk to the manager because I had a gift certificate that was old and should not be accepted - the manager Krista, said just come in and we will honour it - off to a good start. The place is beautiful, the service was great and the manager came over to meet me & was incredibly kind… WE WILL BE BACK!!
  Took a friend for birthday lunch - food was fabulous. A lovely surprise at the end for my friend's birthday - a complimentary creme brulee and presented so well. Our waitress was exceptional.
  We went for brunch early Sunday afternoon. Not many diners there at that time. Service was top notch. Food came out at a reasonable time, hot and very tasty. Will definitely consider coming back again for brunch, or an evening dinner.
  The absolute worst experience at a high end restaurant we very had , absolutely definitely would not return or recommend it to anyone, Absolutely stay a way from this restaurant just so awful 👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎

  Lovely restaurant and ambiance! Food was good. Not sure if it was quite as good as it used to be. Also my dinner was warm, but not hot.
  It was as usual very lovely
  Out for a birthday dinner with my friend. Food was excellent and service was good. The only thing I didn't love was the tables were really close.
  Food was delicious.. piping hot… wine selection was excellent. Thoroughly enjoyable lunch!
  Great attentive ( at decent intervals ) staff , service and food. All those extra touches were there, for a most enjoyable brunch on the patio.
  The waitress up sold me from the schnitzel to the tomahawk pork. Portion size was very disappointing compared to the schnitzel and when I asked the waitress she said she could not disagree. Nothing was done.
  The Brie appetizer should not be breaded. Go back to the old Brie feature that was offered. Very disappointing.
  Noise level was non-existent and excellent from all other diners. One diner in a wheelchair nearby was very loud when he spoke to his friend. Unfortunately that lasted about 90 minutes. However, because of his handicap in the wheelchair but also something else in his speaking this is not a complaint but unfortunate occurrence. I think staff were wise to but him in the corner in the outside patio which I think was the best location. No music was perfect. Our young student waiter was excellent and gave us proper and perfect attention and service.
