    Unfortunately, our chicken was quite pink and undercooked. We mentioned it respectfully, but were surprised to see that nothing came off our bill even though the one dish was hardly touched at all. Overall, an expensive outing for the food quality today.

    Our supper with server Sophie was very enjoyable her wit, demeanour and knowledge of the menu made for a great dinner. The food was very good! Lasagna, beef cheek and Gnocci hit the spot. I was hungry so next time I order Lasagna I’ll ask for some of the toast… cuz I’m a toast and marinara kinda guy! Thanks Living room great meal! See you again!

    The braised shortribs were excellent and the potatoes were fine. The green beans were bitter and undercooked and the Brussels sprouts were undercooked. It was a 3 course fixed price menu but they changed the dessert to something that we did not like.

    My main concern when I go to a restaurant is that the food be above average and the food at The Living Room was terrific. I recommend checking it out.

    Nice looking place with great ambiance. Accommodating to dietary needs. Food was delicious. Just didn’t find that you got enough cheese to accommodate the amount of side foods you got with your fondue. When you add veggies and protein, you should get more cheese than you would get with just the bread basket. But all around, a yummy meal with great service.
