    The service was terrific and friendly. The restaurant and toilets were clean and had a nice atmosphere. It was extremely cold in the restaurant though. The food was just okay, some of it was overcooked and overall wouldn’t have to have anything we ordered again.

    Convenient location in the West End with a cool vibe as if you are sitting in someone's home. The night we were there a harpist and acoustic guitarist were playing which was a nice touch. Food and cocktails were good.
