Awesome. The staff helped deal with my 2 y.o. niece, who likes to twirl in the middle of the dining room. All of the room was awesome, the room with the roast beef/bacon/eggs Benedict was regularly re-stocked, and help was available. The Oyster bar was slightly slow, but did not really attract from the experience, since it was delicious. A++++

The food was delicious and the service was for the most part great. My favourite courses were the steak tartare and the scallop. The people who brought out food to the table were delightful and really knowledgeable about each dish. The one off putting thing is the fact that we asked the waiter (the one who was clearing our plates and brought us the bill) for a cup of plain hot water since it was cold and the waiter brought us hot water with lemon which we thought was a sweet gesture until we saw a charge for $3 for a single lemon wedge?! We didn’t even ask for lemon, we just wanted a plain cup of hot water. We were already spending $160/person for the tasting menu so we can afford the $3 but it’s just ridiculous to charge for something we didn’t even ask for. Atleast let us know ahead of time? Otherwise the food was divine and service was good. I normally tip 20% but tipped 15% instead because the waiter charged for things we didn’t ask for and the waiter had the audacity to look upset as we said thank you and left. That’s still over a $50 tip I have no idea why that would be an issue.

We were graciously hosted by our server Simon who was very knowledgeable, passionate and professional. A 10 out of 10 on all accounts!! Definitely will be back again!

This has been & is one of my favourite restaurants for the past 15 yrs. I went with my family on New Year’s after almost a year later…blame it on the pandemic😊We ordered the house specials…scallops, pate & the soup, as share plates between three of us. The first two were disappointing but the soup was pretty good. We ordered three main courses…my daughter & I shared two of the main courses, which were, lentil based lingcod & crab/lobster bamboo rice dishes. They were ok & felt, it was not to the high standard of this establishment. However, the third main, beef tenderloin was v good. All said & done, this restaurant will remain as one of our favourites & we live in the area.
