                                              Great food - we had wagyu meatballs, mushroom soup, shrimp avocado salad as appetizers & black cod, lobster & shrimp pasta special & organic salmon as entrées. Everything was excellent. We ended with pavlova & key lime pie with Spanish coffee. Busy & noisy restaurant.

                                              The place was so pretty with festive decorations. The food was fabulous. It was a birthday celebration and they made it so special with a lovely lemon meringue dessert. Definitely recommend this place!

                                              The food and service are consistently good. The ambiance is lively and quiet enough to have a conversation. Fabulous local spot!

                                              First time here … what I would call as a great neighbourhood restaurant. The food was VERY good … if there was a 4.5 rating I would have given that. Our waiter was very very good. The restaurant is very loud and interior a bit dated. If I lived close by I would definitely frequent often.
