    It was my first time at the restaurant and the warm and friendly greeting was wonderful to experience. The ambiance is the same as the previous restaurants in that location, but the music was nice the attention to details and to explain the menu so that we would understand and guided us to order the right amount of food Was so helpful. The food was delicious. I even tried things. I never eat like a steak tartare not a fan of raw meat, but it was really delicious. The manager that evening Connor is a very special person and makes every experience exceptional. The server extremely attentive, even the bussers. I hope they have a long life at the Manulife
