read moreWhile many had mixed reviews, some highlighting issues with service and food quality, others raved about the attentive and knowledgeable staff and delicious dishes. The PEI mussels, steak, and duck received high praise, with the manager even recommending a special seating arrangement at the chef's counter for a unique dining experience. Despite some minor hiccups, like undercooked food and a lack of complimentary dessert, the overall consensus leans towards a positive dining experience with tasty food and friendly service.
