There was no communication to let us know that the restaurant was closed, and no communication afterwards to apologise for this. Very strange. Normally, I would recommend the restaurant. It's one of our favourites in the neighborhood. I guess now, I'll add the caveat of having a back up plan in case the restaurant just isn't open when you arrive for your reservation.

Although some menu options were unavailable due to menu changes, the chef personally came out to speak with me and customized a dish to suit my vegan preferences. The staff were welcoming and accommodating, and the overall experience far exceeded my expectations. Excellent service!
