    Everything was great. My only gripe is that it took a very long time for the mains to arrive. I think we waited about 30 minutes or so after being served our appetizers. By the time the food arrived it was lukewarm, no longer hot. It was delicious but would have been even better had it been hot.

    Accommodated us on the patio as we had a small dog. Service efficient and food arrived reasonably fast despite being very busy. The burger was delicious as was the strawberry and tomato salad which was great. The mac n cheese rounded out the meal. Perhaps a little more cheese but the mac was al dente.

    Our waitress, was very attentive and made excellent suggestions for out taste. The other staff were also attentive to assure we were being well cared for. The salad and salmon dishes were, to us, just the right portions and very tasty. The dining atrium area is our preference for a quiet more intimate setting. Although the cafe area is also great for more casual dining and views to the street, but it is louder. Hard to beat the patio for people watching in the summer too. Overall a wonderful dining experience.
