   Was cold in the restaurant and the main course took a long time. Food was delicious and the view was great except seated near the washrooms, didn’t feel private as it should have.

   We had a great birthday celebration dinner. Made an early reservation to get the happy hour bonus. We had a great table away from the main area which was quieter, and still had great views of the City. Service and meals were excellent. We look forward to going back soon.

   Scott was our server and he made our dining experience so enjoyable! Food was delicious and perfectly done. We had the corner table with a lovely night view of the inner harbor, the bridge & Government building all lit up.

   Lovely view of the city!! Friendly knowledgeable wait staff. Food was not very good. Charcuterie was really good but took an hour to get! Entrees were over cooked and not very flavourful. Two other tables in our area also said the same and sent back their entrees. Should have listened to the locals and gone somewhere else.

    My mother picked the place having been there once before long ago and it was her 96th birthday we were celebrating with another of our party celebrating her 69th. We had issues with the parking right from the beginning - the garage at the door completely full and very difficult to turn around or get out of. Ended up parking a distance away. Would recommend just using valet parking. The place wasn’t too busy, definitely quiet, and beautiful night views. Can only imagine how nice it must be for sunsets. The service was great and we appreciated the recommendations for both wine and food. Most of us started with the salad (Vista greens) and it was fresh and enjoyable. The rest of the food not so much. The prawns a little “fishy” shared with the bread (very good), another had the steelhead (said it was “ok” but wouldn’t order again) and my own choice the sous-vide berryman’s pork chop with yam gnocchi and sage brown butter. Huge disappointment! The gnocchi was heavy, even bland. Gummy. And while I was given a steak knife for the pork chop - I needed a chain saw. I could not cut it. I sawed and sawed to get a bite. Flavorful but tough as can be. Maybe I misunderstood what sous-vide means. I ate most everything except little of the pork chop. Just could not cut it and gave up. A couple of us shared the peaches and cream bourbon brûlée with cotton candy with the other two trying a spoonful. It was just ok. All in all, the evening was enjoyable with the company we kept but the food wasn’t great and unlikely we will be back any time soon.
