    The customer service here was top tier - as a first time visit they ensured our visit was welcoming. The manager himself brought out a complimentary tasting plate while we were browsing the menu. The server (Sherri) was so personable and passionate about the menu. It was also my birthday and they made it really special with a complimentary desert with a happy birthday message on it. I will definitely be back.

    This nice little gem was our first time. The food menu has a bit of everything, the portion was really good, the service was really good. I would like to suggest to take a closer glance at the layout and ambiance. Upon our arrival the light were really bright and with the wood tables and metal chairs does not reflect what the restaurant wants to achieve. The potential is there and with prime location I think they are missing a great opportunity!

    Food was excellent , as was the service by our waiter, Grace. How ever, we were celebrating a special anniversary (52years), and although both host and waitress were aware of this, but other than wishes of happiness no special treat was offered. This is my first restaurant visit I didn’t enlven get a cupcake in honour of the occasion.
