From the moment we walked in the door we felt rushed. The hostess was short, didn’t ask to take our coats and wasn’t friendly. We were seated upstairs in the corner and it was cold. There was no candles on the table and the server came but was short as we had just sat down and hadn’t had a chance to look at the drink menu. I asked if they could turn the heat which she said no but asked if we wanted to move. We decided not to move. Our lobster bisque had no lobster in it just broth, the salad lacked any flavour and one of main courses the vegetables and potatoes were cold. They did take a glass of wine off our bill to compensate for the cold food and they did ask to replace the vegetables. The overall experience was so disappointing and considering our bill was over $300 it was not worth it. We won’t be returning. Overall not friendly, rushed, lacked atmosphere and sub par food.

Enjoyed our wedding anniversary here and the service and food were exceptional. Honestly, the best cheesecake I've ever had in my life. The waitress also made sure there was no alcohol in the cheesecake since I am alcohol sensitive.

Food was amazing, Service was outstanding. The ambience of the restaurant is so romantic and comfortable. My boyfriend and I celebrated our anniversary here and they gave us a free dessert with a sparkler which was so sweet. I would 100% come here again and recommend to all.
