This is a small but elegant and modern restaurant located in a mall. And what a nice surprise it was. The food was very good but what made it extra delicious it that each dish were prepared and garnished with many interesting ingredients. Service was excellent despite the fact that there was only one server. The four of us shared the Walnut Bruschetta, the Arancini (rice fritters stuffed with goodies) and the Sobrasada Iberico (acorn-fed pork). Then each had their choice: Sambuca Shrimps, Cashew & Almond Crusted Chicken, and two Angus Tenderloin. We brought with us the BD cake (a $10 serving charge), the chef had sprinkled the cake with more goodies. But the next time, we'll try what looked like scrumptious desserts. Miam! Miam! We will definitely go back.

We had lamb chops, a pear appetizer, wonderful steak, scallops, two desserts and I can't recall what else. Each plate was beautifully presented and full of wonderful flavours and unique ingredients. I would definitely return.The service was excellent and Lindsay, our server was very charming and engaging.

Decided it would be a nice night to walk there and upon arriving we were met by Lindsay our server telling us that the power was out and they were unsure as to when it would be back on. Regardless we went in and started with a few cocktails. Ok this place is really great. They were so apologetic about things they could not control and yet with the limited resources produced a fantastic eating experience. The tenderloin was amazing. Made in the dark and eaten under iPhone flashlight. The staff was wonderful. Congrats to all of you, you made a huge effort to ensure your guests had a good experience. I'm sure this will go down as one of those crazy moments in your restaurants evolution. We will always return great food amazing menu. Great job. Thanks Lindsay and everyone, you are real troopers and truly understand how to deliver great service. Cheers.

We sampled their charcuterie board and a few tapas dishes, including crab cakes and a delicious foie gras that melted in your mouth. The recommended wine pairings complemented the dishes well. Overall, it was a fantastic dining experience and I will definitely be coming back.
