    Beautiful space with good basic food. Not the most creative but good quality food. Our server was attentive and accommodating to dietary restrictions and requests. Some other grumpy servers around but it was a beautiful Saturday and they had to work.

    We found the brunch disappointing. Even with the good service and great view not sure if we would come back. My eggs were over good and the potatoes were hard as a rock. My wife had the calamari which was mainly just bits of deep fried batter. Very disappoining

    Table service outstanding. It’s always too warm in that area. It should be a little cooler.  Thank you for the great service !

    We love the variety of dishes at Happy Hour. Today we savoured Korean Chicken Sliders (2 per order) delicious and definitely not skimpy. The Ahi Tuna Tacos (4 per order) we’re yummy and I liked that the tacos were fried won ton wrappers. The Crunchy Prawns (4 per order) were delectable. Our server was new and still in training, but she was an adorable asset to the restaurant. Thank you for a lovely Happy Hour!
