      This place was so great for our anniversary dinner! We got the creamy chicken and ribeye, both were fantastic. The staff were so friendly and brought us a complimentary dessert to celebrate us. Would definitely recommend coming here! Come during day/early evening very dark drive on the way back!

      Had a wonderful dinner. Food was delicious and prices were reasonable. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. It was my husband's birthday and they put on quite a show with a pineapple and ice cream flambe.

      Excellent service and the food was outstanding. We shared the tuna carpaccio, ceviche, and octopus carpaccio amongst 4 of us followed by filet mignon, French cut lamb and chateaubriand. The only slight disappointment was that there wasn’t more octopus as it was very thinly shaved and a bit hard to taste relative to the red onion etc topping. The other 2 appies were very generous and all three were easily split amongst the 4 of us. And it was the beat chateaubriand we’ve ever had! Highly highly recommend that! The wine seemed expensive relative to the cost of the food (which is not inexpensive but so delicious it’s worth it) so we only ordered one bottle and each had a mixed drink instead which were all excellent. The pool waterfall provided excellent ambient noise and we couldn’t hear anyone’s conversations. And the smoked Negroni (done expertly at our table) was super fun to watch. We also loved the additional touches of the amuse bouche, palate cleanser and mini desert. If you’re looking to have one special night out while you’re here and have a little bit of money for a treat, I highly recommend. We spent $540 Canadian (not including tip) which is by far the most we’ve ever spent on a family meal out but it was so special and absolutely no regrets!
