While normally this venue is for those seeing a show at QPAC, this venue is also excellent for any occasion. All of the dishes we ordered were at the perfect portion for sharing, well seasoned, and fresh. The servers were also happy to accomodate us as we were the last ones out for the evening. We will happily visit again
