Went there for the first time tonight. Service was very slow. Server was rude and didn’t acknowledge everyone and ask if we would like anything. Finally after an hour we asked if we could order food. Was a bad first experience as everything there seems to be really good

Very good pistachio crusted salmon here. Both meals where great but the service wasn't very great. Appeared to be only 1 sever working the whole place. Music was a bit too loud

I recall this place having delicious food about 10 years ago. The meal was less than mediocre this go around. Steak was asked for medium rare and was served well done. One skinny piece of fish with the fish and chips. Flavours on both dishes were bland. The service was alright, not anything special. The ambiance was mostly calming, as it is a dimly lit restaurant. This is nice, except when you're seated under the brightest light in the restaurant.
