Decent food, but service was rather slow. It was also 24 degrees in the restaurant and I found it quite warm.

Food was delicious from start to finish and quick to arrive. Serve was excellent, attentive yet unobtrusive. Even though we didn't order dessert, we got sent away with a little box of 4 yummy house made macarons! Nice touch!

Wonderful afternoon. Good food excellent service I love the ambience. If there was only one thing it was, the music was a little too loud for the elderly who were with us who were wearing hearing aids. But otherwise it was amazing

We had a nice meal. The french onion soup was amazing, maybe the best I have ever had. We selected. My wife had seared salmon... it was OK, but a bit fishy and I think that there is really no excuse for that in Nova Scotia. I had the chicken confit, which was very good. A bit expensive but a nice experience. Service was very good.

The food is superb and the service impeccable. The only ´damper’ is the noise level . We could not entertain a conversation as we could not hear our dining companion .

I found it to be a pleasurable experience. The staff were professional and friendly. The time to take our orders was a little long but not unreasonable. The food was ok the French onion soup was fantastic. The staff made us feel appreciated. Definitely a repeat visit warranted.
