    Romantic dining rooms in a lovely old house. 6-course Valentine’s Day menu not cheap at $130 but lots of quality here - first four courses (oyster, mushroom consommé, shrimp and crab, gnocchi) innovative presentations and full of flavour, mains (pepper steak or scallops) and dessert (choc mousse) also nicely prepared. Service was impeccable even on such a busy night. Interesting wines on list, typical pricing - we enjoyed an excellent Pinot Noir from Niagara’s Cloudsley Cellars. Highly recommended.

    Parquet is a great bistro with very competent service, a delicious menu and thoughtful and very approachable wine list. I can strongly recommend the steak frites and the duck confit. Unlike many restaurants the noise level was fine. No one at our table had to yell.

    Bumpkins was a great restaurant. We were seeing a show after dinner and they made sure that our dinner was done in time for us to make it to the show with time to spare. The food was great and the value was wonderful. I would highly recommend this restaurant!
