It’s a good place and lovely inside. Great service for sure. And the food is amazing! Love the wood fired flavors! However, to be honest, it’s really overpriced. For example we got two scallops for $36! We split three dishes (one app, scallops, and potatoes)and had two drinks each and our bill was $185. So, as a gal who frequently eats out I would say you get just as nice of a meal or better for less at tons of fabulous restaurants around town.

We discovered this restaurant because the Peacock was full and we were hungry. What a happy find! It's now our favourite place to go in the neighborhood (along with Uchiba). The fajitas are next level amazing. The service is impeccable and the outdoor patio is really nice whatever the weather.
