    The food was amazing. We had the Catch of the Day which was sea bass in beurre blanc sauce and the Steak Frites. The food was extremely flavorful. Drinks were also good including the bloody mary with bacon. The service was excellent as well! We will definitely be returning!

    The food was amazing, truly delicious. Fun environment, but also perfect to have a conversation without having to raise my voice. Had a great time and can't wait to go back and try another dish. The tiramisu was fantastic.

    Consistently one of the best restaurants in MB without the ridiculous prices! Service is always friendly, the food is always delicious, and the cocktails are always yummy! I did notice, however, that the $62 steak appeared to be described weight - looked like it had been cut thin, which made it cook a little faster, resulting in being overdone. But the Saganaki is still the BEST appetizer on the menu. The dip trio was fantastic! The Chilean Sea Bass was the unexpected hit of the table! Large portion cooked and seasoned to perfection! The kids loved the chicken, too! Great family restaurant with the "family" type of food! Treat your whole Clan and enjoy the flavors of this fabulous kitchen!
