    The children's menue not worth bring young kids. For the price of tip we constantly had to request water and coffee also not a full house but saw our servers 3 times the wmentire 2 hrs there. Food for adults was excellent. However at 65.00 a person. Not a great value. Atmosphere very upscale. Just not with children. However this was a mother's day brunch.

    The price for the food was quite high for the taste/quantity. Also-we were there on a Friday evening and there were very few patrons there making the place almost too quiet for its size.

    Some food was so undercooked it was not possible to eat. Commented on this but was charged anyway. Asked to get Parkin validated and instead got charged. Was also separately (again) charged at the Parking. Was told that I can go back to the restaurant and complain but decided to not go back to this location instead.Not worth it!

    It was a slow Sunday night, we were the only diners there for the majority of the meal. Plenty of time for smoke breaks for the server, which unfortunately for us, clung to him. Other than the smell of smoke, the service was good and the food was delicious but price point was too high.

    Enjoyed a lovely pre show dinner. Service was outstanding! Our short rib entree was exceptional, as was dessert - chocolate tart w caramel ice cream. The shared ceviche was ample and tasty. House salads were large with beautiful greens and a zesty house dressing. Would definitely recommend. Cool setting in former courthouse - walkable distance to Straz.

    There was a wedding going on. Didn’t realize their kitchen would close. open table allowed me to make a reservation, we ordered drinks and were told kitchen is closing for 30 mins in 10 mins. We decided to wait and then an hour went by and still the kitchen was closed. I don’t think reservations should be allowed to be made knowing your kitchen would be overwhelmed with a wedding. Portions weren’t great, we went somewhere and ate more after.

    We are a party of 4 and all our families booked as well another 4 and 16 pax. Food is not as good and portions are small. Our server Melissa is cranky doesn't even greet or welcome. . Gets irritated when reviewing and changing orders...just simply not coming back... but i guess we have no choice since we have some disable member of family and we can only go on this restaurant.. overall 3 stars is more than enough

    The service was good . I’ll go again. But I will not get the octopus for an entree . I got same amount of octopus for an appetizer in other restaurants . It tasted great but not a size for an entree . The desert wasn’t a really chocolate soufflé. Most like a chocolate tart. Again tasted good but not a soufflé. Rest of gods was great

    The bartenders were outstanding and really the highlight of the evening. Keep in mind, the food was delicious, but perhaps my husband and I prefer a more family style of dining, in which we order and share, which just really wasn't suited for this restaurant. The food was flavorful with bold flavors, but with such intense flavor profiles from international cuisines, they didn't really meld well for an overall dining experience, with dishes clashing with one another. I understand fusion, and this didn't feel like fusion to me. Fusion is Bulgogi Tacos or Cajun Chicken Pasta, in which different cuisines' flavor profiles already complement one another. This was more of an international menu, with fairly authentic flavors and unique presentations. I wouldn't want a chef to compromise their vision but this wasn't for me.

    After Hamilton my friends and I treated ourselves! Overall a very pleasant experience. One interesting Occurrence was with an app I ordered, the pork belly. I’m dairy and gluten free so no polenta cake but figured with the pork belly and corn salad, no big. We’ll, on this hood size plate came a kids fist sized dryish but tasty pork belly, with literally 8 kernels of corn around it. I asked, Neal our server was so great, went and asked and chef said that’s it. $16…😂 Kale salad was yummy…everything else was good, nice portions! So bizarre. Anyway, we’d go back, super nice people, great service, just no more pork belly!

    Had an early evening pre theater dinner that tasted amazing. Tried the Boar shank that was recommended by the staff and so glad we ordered, this fall off the bone meat had been cooked for 3 days with all the right ingredients lending to an outstanding flavor. Highly recommend! The chocolate souffle torte with caramel ice cream was very light and tasty.

    Our experience was good, but not great. Had a ceviche appetizer… presentation was nice, but flavor was not special. Wife had the beet and salmon salad, which was pretty but also lacking in flavor profile. I ordered a steak, which came overcooked and was just okay. The side of potato pave was the best part of the meal for me. Given the price tag and class of restaurant, we definitely hoped for more. The interior of the restaurant was beautiful, with high wood ceilings and architectural touches from the original courthouse. The ambiance was lovely, between the setting, lighting and music. No problems with the service. Just wish the food had lived up to expectations.
