    Wow! What a night. From arrival to departure, the night was filled with fun, energy & lots of surprises. The venue itself was lovely; the food was unbelievable & the drinks paired perfectly with the meals. Evrything was well thought out- from the decor, to the music, to the food- all designed to set the mood & the theme of the 'season' we were in. Also, the staff made the night- fun, entertaining & engaging. I highly recommend this for a special night out.

    This is an excellent restaurant we have been to on many occasions and never been disappointed. The food is delicious, prepared to perfection and well presented. The wait staff are attentive and professional and the experience is unhurried so that you can enjoy a relaxed meal at your own pace. The wine list is unpretentious and great value with a number of wines we have sought out and purchased for ourselves at home. The atmosphere is conducive to table conversations and feels inviting without being loud. Portion sizes are very adequate without over-facing and the side dishes are excellent. This is our favourite local restaurant by a large margin.
