    Beautiful dining room, attentive, well-I formed service, delicious food with an excellent selection of seemingly very fresh fish and a noise level that is actually conducive to conversation. Despite its size, the room was packed. Great for a special occasion.

    The restaurant didn’t disappoint despite being extremely busy and rebranded as “Taylors Landing”. The food was very good, but our server Alena really made sure to go out of her way for us and made our night. Very professional and always smiling. There was a significant breakage in glass by another server. Alena excused herself from our table and went out of her way to help ensure both the server and area was safe before returning to our table. True team player! Thank you!

    It’s always a fabulous experience. We started out at the Bar having a cocktail - Arie is a doll. He really gets to know you. Dinner was outstanding. Mohammed was more than professional and accommodating. We don’t dine there often enough. Highly recommend.

    The service and food quality is absolutely amazing. My wife and I have been trying to get reservations for years and finally we were successful on the evening of our 35th Anniversary. From the Hostess to the servers Adam, Godwin and the AGM Johann, everyone were super attentive and provided great input about the menu options chosen. The Steak Tarta & French onion Soup, both developed tastefully with the perfect combination of herbs & spices and creatively presented. The Brome Lake Duck and poached pear a perfect combination of sweet and acid complementing the tender meat of the pine- glazed Duck. The Lamb Rack, tender and tastefully matched with the white port jus and charred broccoli, made for a mouth watering pallet. We thoroughly enjoyed the evening and ended it with a rich cappuccino and Black Forest gâteau which we romantically shared and now look forward to our next visit, hopefully soon.
