Went with our 11 year old grandson, who ordered the filet medium without the espresso rub and he loved it. Perfectly cooked. My halibut dinner was great. My husband ordered a chicken sandwich that he did not care for, a little too much breading for him but that may just be a personal taste. The calamari would have been better (for us) without the sweet chili sauce. Again, we should have ordered it without the sauce. It was perfectly done. Our server, Lacey could may have been better/nicer.

Beautiful place inside and out. When it seemed a bit loud upstairs they offered a table in the wine cellar which was near. Server (Val?) was friendly and really great, calm and composed even when dealing with a tough customer a few tables over from us.

Overall very good experience - No complaints. The hanger steak (my go-to when on a menu) was one of the best I've had...Super tender and connective tissues trimmed out, on a med-small cut fry poutine. SO good. Wild mushroom soup could have had a little more flavor, but still not a complaint. Smoked wings (dry rubbed, sauces on side - balsamic chili & bbq) the BBQ sauce was definitely not run of the mill - much more unique flavor while still being BBQ sauce, and the balsamic chili was an excellently made sauce. Love that they had a slew of drinks to choose from - especially Arsenal - and chocolate torte was wonderful also. Service was a little on the slow side, but they were very busy and the bartender and hostess were chipping in to run food, bus tables, etc. which is great to see, shows a well-run restaurant where the employees help each other out so everyone's experience is good - not just their section, when one of them gets in the weeds. I'll absolutely go back and hopefully try something new - but that hanger steak... MMMMMM!!!!!

We are never disappointed dining here. The food was excellent as always, and the service was top notch. The only drawback was the noise level. It was so loud that we could barely converse. Granted it was Friday night and people were letting off a little steam, but in the future I think we will stick to mid week nights when it is less crowded.
