Better than most woodbridge restaurants.. Better than most mississauga restaurants Better than any markham restaurant.. but not, I repeat not better than toronto restaurants.
What an amazing dining experience, the service was 10+++! The food was delicious and the portions are huge, just remember to share desert, more than enough to go around! We found it to be great value for the money, beautiful atmosphere and a nice treat for dinner.
At every visit, we are always amazed at the quality and presentation of the food. The same for the service, very attentive offering a nice quiet spot for 2. The atmosphere is very pleasing and never a dull moment with the many bottles of wine and appertif on display. Whether a special occasion for 2 or casual gathering for 4, it is definitely worth the curiosity.
I was very disappointed with the service we received. The restaurant was not very busy when we arrived but took an hour and half to have our lunch served. Other patrons around us were served and left before we received ours. During that time, the waiter never came back to ask if we wanted additional drinks - we had to call him over and he never apologized or explained the delay. Because of this delay, we had to rush through our meal as we were very late returing to work.
