    The service was outstanding. We were there for a business meal and we weren’t rushed at all. The server was just the right amount of attentive. The food was perfectly prepared. This is becoming one of my favourite restaurants.

    Food is great - always creative and delicious. Concern today as my dining guest mentioned a sensitivity to spinach. She realized her green salad was full of fresh spinach. She picked it out but it could have made her quite sick. Either server did not pass this along or kitchen forgot. Allergies are important to take note of - especially when server asks and gets a reply.

    We had such a great time! 3 generations. Myself, my Mom and my daughter. We were greeted and treated with genuine happiness and appreciation the entire time. Loved the tea menu and the knowledge of the waitstaff about the food and teas was outstanding. We were asked straight away about food allergies, which I feel is such an important question. We felt totally cared for. Magic moments created!! A memory the three of us will have forever.
