We arrived early and asked to sit at our table waiting for the other couple . We ordered drinks that were amazing and ordered the arugula salad as well as the burata and beet salad, pizza and poutine…. Amazing and a nice serving size to share. For dinner three of us ordered crab and pasta and a burger. We were stuffed but still ordered warm apple dessert! Our server was great and we decided this is a favorite of ours, we will be back soon!!!!!

Fantastic dinner. Food is always top notch. The dry age strip was perfect. The scallops were beautifully presented. The service however is why we will always come here. From the hostess, Kayla, who made sure to stop by our table and welcome us back even though she was busy with other people to the server and busser Nick and Douglas who are so attentive. Can’t wait to come back.

Another excellent lunch! The King Bar never misses a beat. We ordered the tuna tartare, lobster roll, and the pear & taleggio salad, and each dish was amazing. The flavors were exceptional, and the presentation was top-notch. The service is second to none. I always leave feeling satisfied and eager to return!
