    I had an amazing Boxing Day dinner with server Cody. Cody gave exceptional service and had lots of knowledge about the menu. We started with the dish: Zucchini and Truffle Arancini. It had some walnut spread at the bottom and it complimented together perfectly. Then we moved on the Mafaldine Alla Vodka dish. The mafaldine pasta was delicious, a great switch up from other pastas. It came with a chunk of Burrata cheese on top. Again, so yummy! Our main dish was The Whole Lemon Sole. Upon serving our fish, they cut open and hand picked the skeleton out! Ended the night with 2 desserts: ChristMint Cheesecake Tree and Bourbon w Irish Eggnog Ice Cream

    Wonderful experience this evening! We started with cocktails - all with interesting names and interesting flavours. The newspaper garnish was so fun! We enjoyed the oysters - so fresh and flavourful - and the whipped brie to start. We ordered mussels, lobster risotto, short rib and chicken supreme as our mains. All very different, but delicious! Seasoned and cooked to perfection. We finished with dessert and the bartender indulged me with a blueberry tea. We will be back and would not hesitate to recommend to our friends. Thank you for a wonderful experience.
