The mixed green salad was extremely fresh with a delicious dressing, and the salmon was nearly as good as the char. The baked apple dessert had good flavor but could have used a few more minutes in the oven. The restaurant offers a great wine selection and excellent service. The only downside was that it was a bit noisy due to all the hard surfaces.

Additionally, the soap in the restroom had a strong scent. I had to wash my hands twice upon returning home to remove the lingering smell.

The atmosphere was somewhat noisy and quite casual, which didn't quite match the overall pricing. Overall, we had a pleasant evening and enjoyed our meal.

The restaurant offers simple, high-quality food. However, there are limited vegetarian options available. read more The restaurant offers simple, high-quality food. However, there are limited vegetarian options available.

The food is absolutely delicious from start to finish. This evening, we had the roasted oysters as a starter, which were absolutely delicious. One of our standards are the Brussels sprouts with hazelnuts always hearty and wonderful. Everything is so tasty and balanced. I find it difficult to venture out from my tried and true dishes, but it's always worth it. The servers, King and Mackenzie, were wonderfully attentive without disturbing in the least. When they found out it was our anniversary, they offered us dessert on the house. These were also creative variations on beloved standards, a deconstructed cheesecake and an apple tart. It goes without saying that we will return again and again. Bravo tutti!
