                              Fantastic restaurant, the attention to detail is impeccable. The boar is simple superb and the carpaccio was incredible as well. The servers were the best part of the experience, they offered us excellent wine pairings to our meals and even a maple syrup tasting

                              Braised bison was very dry, small portion and barely warm. Halibut thin small and dry, tomato salad consisted of two cherry tomatoes cut in half. The banquet seating where I sat was grossly stained. Servers tried hard. Took long time for food to come out from kitchen. Will not return.

                              Beautiful upscale yet cozy decor. Our server was very patient, professional & easy going. We took a while to order and eat & added two people last minute, none of which t was a problem since there was space :) enjoyed various dishes on the menu. Good wine + great spot for a date night or to meet friends.

There was a slight weight for some of the dishes, but it was well worth it. Will look forward to visiting again
