I went for lunch and had one of the lunch specials. I can't remember the name (pasta with a red sauce with wild boar). I chose solely because when my server was describing it, his eyes lit up for a second! I thought, if he got excited just describing it then I should try it! We paired the entree with one of the house Cabernets. Amazing! The server read my mind as he subtilty dropped off the dessert menu. I completed the meal with the chocolate torte and a coffee. Excellent way to finish! The service was flawless from the maitre 'd greeting me with a warm smile. My server was busperson was very attentive, warm and engaging. The only "downside" is the value. The bill was close to $100 for one, so not a "fast casual dining" but luxurious dining experience with supreme food and outstanding service!

Loved our meal at Tulibee! We hadn't been in years and will definitely be coming back more regularly. The brussels sprouts, lamb with pistachio and duck fat fries with the bison were amazing. Great service with a wonderful server who went through the entire menu at the outset of greeting us. Much appreciated!

Murrays for Steaks is still the favorite among locals-You're assured you will enjoy a sensational meal as will your guests when no one needs to look at the menu because they have their favorites and have looked forward to meeting at Murrays. And while all the entrees are filling, no one can turn down their signature dessert, the fresh raspberry and chocolate pie. Always exceptional food and the most gracious hosts.
