went here with some of my friends and the vibe was super cool I love the aesthetic and atmosphere. If your looking for elevated casual for a girls night or date night or family dinner it really fits any occasion. The food was great, very fresh and the portions are great for sharing family style or to have on your own. Pricing is on the higher end but the quality and size of the dishes makes it worth it in my opinion. Would absolutely recommend!

Ordered the seafood tower and the strip loin. It was a massive amount of food for two people. Everything was delicious. Very expensive.

Amazing service and food, only small gripe was the tiny 4oz wine pours which seemed a bit ridiculous given the cost per glass.

Really liked this place. Relaxed vibe with upscale quality. Had the sirloin. Frontenac Noir by the glass was amazing. Server was just excellent: friendly, not pushy, informative. Great night out!
