    The food was excellent. The service was gracious. Oysters - great. Steak - great. Truffle mashed potatoes, same. Lobster mac, same. One drawback is that the pop music coming through the speakers does not fit the refined atmosphere. Some sort of cheery jazz or other instrumental music would be much more fitting.

    Food poisoning on Christmas night. Could not have thought of anything worse. Had to be the blue cheese add on the steak.

    It was a great experience. Took my gf out for an intimate birthday dinner. The staff was very attentive but not overbearing. The food was a smidge pricier but excellent taste for what you’re paying for. The ambiance was fairly quiet with good background music which was perfect for what I wanted the night to be. The presentations were well done. Only minor note would just be minor updates of the aesthetics including the carpet. But overall, would recommend repeatedly to friends and family for special occasions.

    They crumbed our table!!! Yeah that's a word. No I wont explain it. Food was delicious and inventive and it tasted so fresh! Wow! Was very expensive but I'm a poor. Every single thing I had was great. Service staff was top notch some of the finest work I've ever witnessed. Best of all the place was immaculate. In a city where most restaurants bathrooms/kitchen areas reek of rat/mouse, this restaurant had none of that scent.
