   We passed this restaurant several times and decided to finally try it. The parking is a nightmare as always in RVC, however we finally were able to park. We shared the chopped salad, it was good but it said a lemon vinaigrette and we didn't taste any lemon. We also shared the zucchini pancakes with the dill yogurt sauce. There was hardly any of the yogurt sauce on the plate, they were good but I wouldn't order them again. I had the beef wellington. It was good but the mashed potatoes with leeks and mushrooms was better than the actual beef. I definitely would not order that again, if we go back. My husband ordered the sole meuniere and he absolutely loved it! The service was very good so we might go and try some other dishes.

   It was great food and great service. My cousin wanted a spicy sauce and the chef made her a special fra Diablo sauce.

   This restaurant is often overlooked when thinking about places to eat in RVC. The food is always delicious, the service is attentive and there is a nice casual vibe.

   I booked this restaurant for our Valentine Day dinner. We had a 9pm reservation but we’re not seated until almost 1 hour later. The restaurant did not keep us updated and I had to continuously ask the hostess how much longer. When we did get seated, we did not get menus for about 15 minutes and did not get to order for another 20 minutes. The appetizers took a while to come and the entrées took very long to come. I feel the restaurant did not properly plan for this holiday and seemed to be overbooked. The management never came to see how we were or to say sorry for the delay. On the positive side the food was very good. Not sure I would come back during a holiday.

   Drinks are regular. Don't go on a busy night, even with a reservation you will have to wait a lot.

   It was a busy night so service was bit slow. Ordered grilled octopus, beef Wellington, Grilled Tuna and couple of desserts. I wouldn’t say the food was bad but for the price paid, it could be way better. The only good part was the drinks, old fashion.

   Had a wonderful dinner on our 40th anniversary. We’ve been here several times before and always great.

    Love this place. Good food. Good service. Good vibe. Shout out to Jamal & Jackie who made our evening extra special. Will add Aperitif to our favorite restaurants rotation!
