    I ate in the restaurant on Valentines Day while an event was going on in the theatre. The service was excellent throughout the meal and was very personable. There were items on the menu that were not available (Steak-bites) and my entree was a bit coolish, no doubt because of the event. While the meal wasn’t terrible, and the servers were great, I wouldn’t go back to the restaurant. There are so many really good places to go that if a place is mediocre I just can’t be bothered.

    My husband had the Steak and Lobster and he said it was OK. He said that he was disappointed because the steak was thin cut (like a fast fry) and the lobster seemed a bit under done. I had the Short Rib Bourginon and I do not normally order red meat, but I thought that it sounded good, and it was really good! My husband also had the BEST Old Fashioned that he has ever had (hand made by the waiter), and we shared a piece of Chocolate Peanut Butter Cheesecake that was to die for! Our waiter was fantastic and the ambiance is gorgeous. Next time I want to come back for the dinner and a movie because that looked super fun.

    The restaurant is beautiful - they have kept the lovely vintage feel and decor from the old Metropolitan Theatre. The food was quite good. I had a roast beef sandwich and fries and my companion had the Montreal Smoked Meat sandwich with Bothwell cheddar soup. We ordered off the lounge menu because the lounge was closed for a private event so both the lounge menu and the fine dining menu were available in the dining room. However, we were a table of 6 and the stipulation was that the whole table had to order from the same menu for some reason. Even though the rest of our party wanted to order off the fine dining menu, they were not allowed to do that but they did enjoy what they ordered anyway. The service was slow - we were on time for our reservation at 545 but we did not get our food until 655. We were attending an event in the theatre at 730 so we felt quite rushed to finish our food and get to our seats.

    Went for lunch on a Friday. Quiet atmosphere and easy to visit with friends. Service was attentive but server knew we weren’t in a rush so we had plenty of time to enjoy our food. Great ambience in the dining room.

    The only reason I’m writing this is an issue we had with the meal. Everything tasted amazing! The meat upon presentation was cold. Otherwise a great experience!

    Overall, it was good, but the prime rib was a big disappointment. It was not cut as prime rib typically is (i.e., thin, tender slices). Instead it was a thick piece, more like a cheap steak, with grill marks (???). I would not order it again. The rest of the meal was good though and my companion’s chicken was quite nice.
