    Ambience is so good, i really enjoyed how dim it was - sometimes too much lighting can be a lot on the eyes. Food was cooked as requested. Overall was really good!

    Went out Valentines day. They were SO BUSY, yet the food arrived within a decent time, and the service was attentive. We don't eat out at semi-expensive places often, and this was a reminder that the food is SO MUCH BETTER. Wife tried something she never had before and was gushing over it. Ambience was great, lots of greenery, subtle Italian music in the background, and even though it was packed, we could talk in normal voices. Highly recommended. The whole meal (plus rose, as I am a softy) came in at $250 which included a couple of drinks each. Absolutely worth every cent, which comes from someone who isn't exactly flush with cash.

    When I booked, I choses an outdoor setting, however, as the weather turned, I asked for an inside table - As it turned out, it would have been perfectly fine outside. The staff were attentive, polite and helpful. I was surprised when a decorated plate of icecream turned up with a candle and they sang Happy Birthday to me. The food was 'top shelf' and we will certainly be back!

    While normally this venue is for those seeing a show at QPAC, this venue is also excellent for any occasion. All of the dishes we ordered were at the perfect portion for sharing, well seasoned, and fresh. The servers were also happy to accomodate us as we were the last ones out for the evening. We will happily visit again
