Our waitress, Christine, was great. Our food was delicious! Salads were exceptional. Pasta bolognese delicious, although, not a large portion. Holiday time is busy everywhere. So it was a little loud but as it got later and people left, the noise level decreased. Nice vibe here!

This is a tiny restaurant attached to the hotel. What appears to be the main entrance to the restaurant was locked which was confusing at first. I had to enter through the hotel entrance and go through the lobby to get to the restaurant. The food and drinks were good once we got them. Service was extremely slow, likely due to being understaffed and having a large number of people show up at the same time to have dinner before the concert at TD. There was a long wait time (20min) for drinks to come out and food took even longer. The food itself was tasty and well made so I would give this place another chance to see if the service has improved.
