    It was a beautiful balmy evening and we sat outside which was great. I hadn't been there for years and was pleasantly surprised by the extent of the menu. The food was exceptional and the service was unobtrusive and efficient. Would certainly go there again.

    Presentation & staff were great, quick service & food arrived in a very timely manner, unfortunately, both by & my daughters meals were terrible... linguine bolognese & linguine carbonara... hands down the worst carbonara I've ever eaten & bolognese not far behind. I'd drop the pasta dishes imo, not to their style I'm assuming.

    Staff were super friendly, generous and polite. The food was very nice, seafood cooked to perfection, the seafood chowder was a thin consistency but tasty. The butter chicken was in a dry rather than soupy sauce, but the flavour was divine (not too sweet). I would recommend this place and would happily visit again. Street parking is free at night.

    I loved it, quiet and great quality food wise. I’ve been to more expensive places where food quality was not nearly as good. Was skeptical ordering the steak because last time I ordered a steak at a different restaurant it came out flat and over cooked. This steak was fantastic, well cooked and decently priced. Catered to my party of 10 with an easy booking process. Thank you for the great experience
