There were 4 of us and we all loved what we had. Calamari was delicious, lightly. Relaxed and 2 dip options, beer and goat cheese salad was delicious, and we all loved our entrees (steaks and prime rib). Garlic mashed potatoes are flavorful and the cheese cake and cherry jubilee brownie desserts were shared among us. All enjoyed immensely. Our server Eman was awesome, she joined in our banter and was attentive without hovering.

Food and service did not disappoint. Servers were able to accommodate dietary restrictions and navigate the menu to best advise on food choices. Beef wellingtons are a favourite and I order in repeat and each time I am delighted.
