    First time to try the prime rib. It was outstanding!! The scallops were large and very fresh. The seasoning was really good! The onion rings and broccolini were cooked to perfection. We couldn’t believe how fast the food came out of the kitchen. The service was superb. What more can we say, other than we can’t wait to return!!

    The cocktails, food , and ambience were excellent. The service was pleasant and thoughtful . But one wonders if the restaurant is slightly understaffed , as the waiter disappeared several times , and had to be flagged-down to request bread to accompany the delicious mussels, order a glass of wine to accompany the perfectly cooked scallops and duck confit , etc.

    Server was so laidback but professional and prompt. Enjoyed brunch with a girlfriend and we weren’t pressured to leave early as it wasn’t too crowded. The food was very good, went with the loco moco which was cooked perfect. The NA beverages were a plus. And the decor couldn’t be beat! Very festive and fun. Overall a great spot and will for sure return!
