I eat there once a month and the service and food is always consistently great. I take friends there occasionally and it has always been a success, regardless of the meal. One other big thing is that they let each person pay for their own meal, without all the stress of people trying to pay for one bill. Greatly appreciated! A neighbourhood gem for me, white table cloths too.
