    This dinner felt rushed, which you don't want when spending over $300 for a friend's birthday meal. Didn't like being told after a bottle of wine came to table that we had to order mains same time as appetizers. We protested. Felt we were there to please restaurant as opposed to vice versa. Also, part of lobster roll had gristle. Last bite so I didn't send it back.

    Anything you decide to choose will always be delicious! I can't seem to quit the Tuna Burger, but every salad, pasta and main is divine. Easy to go back again and again!

    Had a special birthday dinner here and did not disappoint. We all enjoyed our meals and were impressed with the excellent service and charming ambience. While waiting for my dinner companions at the bar, a lady next to me knocked her "dirty martini" on to my lap. But the bartender was attentive and quickly provided club soda for clean-up. Fascinating way to begin the evening which went lots better after that!

    The food was very good but overall I had a lukewarm experience. I was dining on my own so I felt that everything was rushed to get me out of the table. I l had a cocktail and a glass of wine all good quality. However I left after 55 minutes.

    Really excellent vibes. Slightly on the spendy side but worth it for the great location and setting. The steaks are delicious, the buffalo dumplings could be a little hotter. Good cocktails.
