    We made a reservation for 7 for our young family for lunch on a Friday shortly after they opened, so it wasn’t busy. We were actually 8 ppl, but the baby didn’t need a seat and was content at the restaurant. The service was quick and friendly. We ordered 4 appetizers to share and then our meals and a few coffees and hot chocolates. The mussels (appetizer menu) were the absolute best we have ever tasted (and my husband is from Florida so he has tasted a lot of fresh seafood in his life to compare)!! All of us except baby really enjoyed them (baby isn’t eating solid food yet), and we enjoyed all the appetizers!! Most of the meals were absolutely amazing! The sirloin steak was perfect at “medium well” and was melt-in-your-mouth buttery. I shared pieces with each person in my family so they could share in the taste experience. Nothing average here.

    For a family get together for my son’s 14 birthday, it was a good experience. The food was good, came quickly and was good value. The only nuisance was getting to the washrooms from the restaurant, you either go down stairs and around or through an employee kiosk to get to them.

    The server was very nice, explained the various dishes. Was quick to refill my wine glass. The borscht was a little thin and the roll was still cold in the middle.. the shortribs were good but could have had a more robust flavour. I couldnt taste the Guiness which was apparently the sauce. Good overall and i would go back and try a different entree.
