The food was delicious.<br/ <br/ I suppose the only downside from my experience was that, while quite friendly, the waitress went MIA quite frequently for extended durations. There were empty glasses on the side of the table for long periods of time. I'm only taking off 0.5 because the rest of the experience was positive.<br/ <br/ Definitely worth checking out!

For 50$ (or close to it) you got an appetiser, a main and a dessert that was chosen by their chef. It was always a well chosen menu, but even their regular fare was absolutely amazing. I honestly can say I've had some of the best steak I've ever had at this restaurant. Their steak Neptune was to die for. <br/ <br/ However! Recently, I believe the head chef has changed over because the food is no longer as good. It's still very tasty, but not quite as amazing as it once was. Now it seems like dishes are either a hit or miss, when before it was always a hit. Also, they took away the chef's menu, which was an absolute tragedy! Prices have also increased enough to make this no longer affordable. <br/ <br/ Still would recommend it to friends, just not as highly as before.

I have been here for a Christmas party dinner and my birthday, and both times my experience here is phenomenal. The food is really well done, it is delicious and mouth watering good! The atmosphere and ambience here is really nice, and the service here is great. We did not tell the waitress it was my birthday, but she quickly realized the situation because of gifts under the table and she asked the chef to arrange sparklers and candles on the dessert we had ordered. She is an example of their observant, attentive, and thoughtful waiters/waitresses. Great restaurant.
