We absolutely adore this restaurant. We decided to treat our daughter and her boyfriend to a birthday dinner here. Our server, Janine, was fantastic and incredibly attentive. She even remembered our names! We all had a wonderful time, sharing a few laughs, and the food was just perfect. Rick, the chef, always delivers exceptional dishes and Janine went above and beyond to make sure we were pampered. We had a fantastic time.

Restaurant had a European feel. We were well tended to and never felt rushed to make room for the next customers. Megan, Courtney as well as our hostess and the other gentleman who helped were all so good. Atmosphere was good. Pasta a perfectly cooked. My wife really enjoyed her penne. My spaghetti bolonese was also good but I found it not meaty enough. I am picky. Lol. Wine pairings were good too. Would definitely return. Great views of Lake Simcoe too.

Everything was just ok. My tiny, tiny filet mignon was strangely cooked. Half well done half rare. My wife’s pasta was meh. The dance club music is not conducive to an Italian Bistro feel and the lights were too bright. Just all round mediocre. Also, online menu is not the same as the menu at the restaurant. You should fix that.

Fantastic meal with professional service. The staff were very helpful and very accommodating. The food was fabulous. The quality and servings were very good. The waiter was very professional and very attentive. This was my first time going to this establishment and I will return. Well done!

Great view of the water, delicious food, generous portions, attentive staff. I recommend the lamb shank , fall apart tender in a yummy reduction, creamy potatoes , really good and the salmon was done to perfection, lightly crisp on the outside and flaked apart. Try the polenta con funghi appetizer! Nice touch was the warm home made bread they brought before the meal, one was a soft decadent Parmesan and herb coated knot YUM !
