Great food and service. Because of the acoustics, when there’s large groups it can get extremely loud where you can’t hear what your dinner companion is saying. Great Dine Out menu.

Turkey roulade was overcooked; brussels sprouts were raw. Food was served lukewarm. Very disappointing. Planned to take guests to Bistro 1931 on Saturday, but now opting for a different resto

The atmosphere was lovely, comfy quiet and great service. It felt like a private dining room as it was empty on a Thursday evening. Problem is the food was poor. Service was excellent.
