It was our third visit this year and each time is a fantastic experience. The hand rolled pasta was simple but delicious. The burger makes you feel like you're eating a juicy steak with groceries. The salmon was the best I've had in the city. My wife loved the chicken breast. Great value for money, too. My only constructive criticism would be to have fries available (rather than chips) with the burger.

Food and restaurant was nice. Service was initially slow but improved. Food is great but price (high) versus portion didn’t balance out.
