We were welcomed at our reservation time and immediately ushered to a table in the back. (Appreciated because it is quieter there.). Waitress was pleasant, food was prompt and delicious. Combined with the convenience of being in the hotel, makes this location hard to beat

The food was excellent! I had the tomahawk pork chop (cooked perfectly). The veggies were not lame! Fingerling potatoes, sautéed asparagus, grilled sweet pepper. Very fall/ visually appealing. My daughter had the butter chicken and thoroughly enjoyed it. Good portions. Pretty good wine list. Service was excellent and friendly.

I loved all about the hotel except the food. I am uncomfortable to complain about it. I thought the room and atmosphere was excellent but the food was yuk! I had braised ribs which as I put my fork into it was mush and very greasy.The bbq sauce was like ketchup. My daughter had a steak that was paper thin, nothing to sink your teeth into. Even the Teriyaki sauce I had at the Market Garden was a big let down with the chicken . The most edible was from the market place ...the grilled cheese ..a nd the soup. sorry to talk about the food but a big disappointment.

We were so impressed by not only the food, but the customer service. It was better than expected. As a cook myself I can be picky with other spots. But my dish was remarkable. The presentation of the food was also gorgeous. The vibes were dim and relaxing. Overall a wonderful experience

Lovely evening spot for dinner. Service was top notch. Had the chance to watch the baseball game while we enjoyed dinner. My husband loved the charcuterie flatbread and fries. I had the veg pasta with chicken. Very few vegetables and a lot is sauce.

First off I was surprised on how reasonable the prices were for the high quality dishes they offered! The food was amazing! I ordered the mussels and wow they were huge! They were the entire size of their shells. The sticky toffee pudding I could have ate 5 of them! Totally took me back to my British grandma and her making them. The staff was amazing and it was nice chatting with others at tables around me like we had known each other forever!!

The food was absolutely amazing. I had salmon and my husband had the pork chop. We both agreed that the meal was among the finest we had had for a very long time, and we have eaten in restaurants a lot across Canada.
Our waiter was charming and helpful. We will definitely be back.

Everything was lovely, our server was fantastic. However, the restaurant itself does not even ask if you have a reservation, so if you note a special occasion, they do not know anyway. I had noted it was my daughters birthday, but the restaurant did not have than info.

reservations were made for 4:30, we walked in and everyone just stared at us. Very awkward and unwelcoming. Server once seated was nice.
