    Cannot understand how this restaurant can be rated so well – a few good points but overall a big miss. Walked in for our reservation and taken to our table by the most disinterested person who barely grunted a word. Poor start but at least the server was more cheerful and helpful. The food was mixed at best. Firstly the pan-seared Alaskan halibut with squash, butter beans, edamame, spicy tomatillo puree + breakfast radish. The halibut was a tiny portion but well cooked, however, the sauce was lukewarm and wasn’t spicy at all (like they missed this part entirely) and was served on cold plate. The King Cole duck breast with eggplant gochijang puree, black garlic, lotus chips, roasted red + golden beets was fine. The sweet potato fries were so covered with salt that I thought about calling ahead to a coronary care hospital. The poached pear with crumble and cream was poor. It was cold, odd and bitter with no pear taste and the crumble was a sprinkling if that. And finally, the chevre cheesecake with hazelnut graham crust and blackberry compote was truly awful. It was one stodgy lump of goo that looked like cat food (actually, I wouldn’t feed a cat that) plonked on a plate with no blackberry compote (again, think they missed this part completely as well).

    Great place for outstanding food and wine in an atmosphere that is conducive to discussion. As a group, we had the scallops (absolutely wonderful), the prime rib (well prepared and the potatoes were fabulous) and the halibut (a reason it is a house favorite). The cappuccinos we had were outstanding as was the pumpkin cheese cake (not too sweet, just right). Highly recommend!

    The chef was having trouble executing their seafood menu properly. Clams were severely undercooked, as were the scallops and halibut. All dishes were fairly bland as well. On the bright side, F&B manager Nate did everything he could to make up for the lackluster food by comping the clams and pouring us a couple glasses of red wine. Wouldn't go back here unless they revamp the menu with items that have more flavour and are easily executable by the kitchen

    Great interior but high noise level that became challenging to speak over. The night we were there the tap line was down so all beers were by the bottle, which was disappointing. The local wines we had were very nice. Two entrees were good (black cod and venison) but the appetizers (octopus and beet/apple) had sauces that were overly salted and not enjoyable. Based on all the other reviews we were expecting more - hopefully it was just an off-night.

    Went here for my wife’s birthday and we were not disappointed. They greeted us with a glass of champagne while we waited to be seated. The recommended appetizer was excellent. Wife got the scallops which were incredible and I got the venison. We finished dinner with two delicious dessert drinks. Port and espresso martini which was one of the best I’ve ever tried. Everything was delicious and I would highly recommend checking out. We will be going back in the future for sure.

    Wanted to love it, hoped to love it…but…ordered 3 dishes scallops, octopus and crudo salad. The salad was excellent , crisp apples, soaked pears and dark beets all cut into cubes. It was a great combination. Scallops were under cooked, not a little but way too much. Strong sera on one side but that’s it- they were opaque/ clearing on other…not good. Octopus was only seared at the tip the thick end was not cooked and was too fleshy uncooked. The waiter was sweet and s joy, the kitchen staff looked happy and we wanted to be impressed so ambiance was nice…I sooooo want to give a great review but we left disappointed (and were still hungry one hour later!). My apologies to the kind staff but the food just disappointed us so much.

    Fabulous food. I felt like I won the flavor lottery. I absolutely loved the rib eye & would highly recommend it. As well as the oysters starter (SO fresh) and the prickly pear gelato. Soup to nuts this place was great and Robin was an amazing server! Thank you. Great place before a Moore Theater night. Come early. Have a cocktail. Enjoy the food and then enjoy whatever show is going on across the street. They have an amazing wine list at good prices. Splurge here - you won’t regret it!

    Overall great but nothing to be crazy about going to anytime soon. Food was good but the flavor was nothing to crave for anytime soon. Everything tasted pretty light. Service was great but I did never get my water topped off. After the food came the waiter only came for a desert menu and asked how everything was. We did run 10 minutes late but then didn’t get seated till another 10 minutes after. Then was told we had limited time to eat … which we understood but it appeared they took time off from there end for not even having the table ready which was a little annoying. Order over 4 dishes over $160 before tip. For the value I would say it’s great to try but there other places that serve same type of menu or changing menu for much less.
