    Went here last night for my daughter's 12th birthday. They treated her like a Queen! We had a lovely cozy booth upstairs and so many of the staff came by to say happy birthday. It was lovely! She felt very special! She has dined all over the world at the top steakhouses. She rated Hys right up there with the best she has tried. And mom loved the bananas foster-hardly any places do this anymore and it was fantastic. Thank you Hys for making birthday 12 so special! Well done!

    It has been a while since we were at Alobar. Both dishes and service have improved significantly which is great news. Had cocktails and beautiful seafood. It was very loud at the resto due to the low ceiling but that’s the only downside.

    The service and food quality is absolutely amazing. My wife and I have been trying to get reservations for years and finally we were successful on the evening of our 35th Anniversary. From the Hostess to the servers Adam, Godwin and the AGM Johann, everyone were super attentive and provided great input about the menu options chosen. The Steak Tarta & French onion Soup, both developed tastefully with the perfect combination of herbs & spices and creatively presented. The Brome Lake Duck and poached pear a perfect combination of sweet and acid complementing the tender meat of the pine- glazed Duck. The Lamb Rack, tender and tastefully matched with the white port jus and charred broccoli, made for a mouth watering pallet. We thoroughly enjoyed the evening and ended it with a rich cappuccino and Black Forest gâteau which we romantically shared and now look forward to our next visit, hopefully soon.

    We had an amazing time at the Lost Land! The food was great, the service was amazing, and I loved the cocktails and how creative they were. We had the house brioche, the soup, the tuna crudo, the duck two ways, and the chitarra pasta. All of the dishes were really great and very well done. I also got the BKK alley and the silent peak cocktail. The BKK alley was my FAVORITE and literally tasted like mango sticky rice. So good! Definitely excited to come back and bring friends and family

    Love, love, Loved! Every review I read about this place was spot on. Love the retro vibe, the music selection, the wine, the food. The service! Also the decor just topped it off for me! It’s the kind of place you want to go and tell your friends about it. Also the cocktail bar afterwards is a must!
