    I haven’t had a bad experience here yet! I treated clients who hadn’t been here before to dinner and everyone enjoyed their meal very much: scallops w risotto, duck and a rib eye, great cocktails and nice wine list, comfortable seating, compétant service, nice evening and price for the quality is good. Thank you, I’ll be back!

    Pre show meal, first time at this restaurant. Very friendly staff, our server even rushed through some happy hour drinks for us. Venue is quite beautiful, very spacious but we still enjoyed privacy. Menu is diverse with lots of beautifully prepared locally sourced items. My friend and I had the scallops sitting on a lobster risotto - highly recommend this. Risotto was cooked perfectly and was nice and creamy. The scallops also perfectly seared. The guys loved their Wagyu burgers served with a generous bowl of crispy fries (or salad). Our server was mindful of our timeline which was appreciated. High end food in a comfortable setting at very reasonable price point. Definitely worth trying. I would love to return.

    All the staff were very attentive, especially our server, Penny. She went the extra mile when I left my gloves behind to call me and let me know.
