    Wir hatten 9.00 pm über Open table reserviert und waren 8.55 da. Der Tisch war in Sichtweite bereit, der Restaurantleiter ließ uns trotzdem die 5 Minuten warten, weil es noch nicht 9.00 war! Wirklich sehr ärgerlich und unnötig. Ansonsten wunderbares Ambiente, super Getränke und Essen.

    We spent time at home in the UK researching the music acts and which we would prefer to hear. We requested to sit on the floor where we thought we would enjoy the music the most. Sadly we were unable to listen to any music as we were sitting in a different part of the restaurant. Fortunately the food was excellent and the waiter (Patrice) was efficient and helpful. I regretted ordering poutine as an appetizer as it was too filling but at least Patrice suggested that we share. The filet minion was very good. One not so pleasant experience was visiting the ladies toilet. There was paper all over the floor but not where it should be. No paper towels for drying hands, they were in a cubicle in place of toilet roll!

    Our server, Caroline was outstanding. Made our evening very special. Excellent knowledge of the menu and made an excellent wine recommendation to go with the lamb chops. Lamb chops were good but did not meet the “hype “ we had been hearing about. From New Zealand and needed more seasoning. I was hoping for local lamb, they were more like Costco

    We’re glad to hear Caroline made your evening special with her excellent service and wine recommendation. Thank you for your feedback on the lamb chops; we’ll share it with our kitchen team. We look forward to welcoming you back soon for another great experience Robert!

    The food was excellent, and the band played lovely music and the volume was not too loud even though they were only just across the room.
