Service was excellent. Food was delicious. Portion size of salmon on my Regina salad was very small. I was surprised because that’s my go to dish there and the portion has been reasonable in the past.

We visited this restaurant for the second time and each time one of us had a lipstick stain on the rim of the glass cup. It’s dark in the restaurant, but I’m used to checking my utensils and cups for cleanliness. I wish the staff would do the same. The food was good.
