    My friend invited me for the high tea as a birthday gift. It was very enjoyable. Good choice of teas would like to have seen maybe a couple more sandwiches less sweets, but I do understand that the menu changes depending on the time of year we are looking forward very much to coming back in the spring and the summer. Beautiful building to have an English high tea in and the staff were delightful.

    After today, this has officially become one of my favorite restaurants. The service was absolutely exceptional. For the first time in Canada, I tried French onion soup, and it was incredible—so flavorful and perfectly prepared. The steaks were melt-in-your-mouth tender, and the cheesecake? Pure perfection! Hands down the best I’ve ever had in Canada—just unreal. Highly, highly recommend! A special shoutout to our server, Dustin. He was beyond amazing—so attentive, kind, and genuinely dedicated to making our experience unforgettable. It was our wedding anniversary, and it was so important to us that everything went smoothly, and thanks to Dustin, it was perfect. We truly believe he is incredible at what he does, and we couldn’t be happier with the service he provided. The restaurant and its team went above and beyond, and we are so impressed. Thank you for making our special day even more memorable!

    Ordered the chef’s fall special for two and enjoyed every dish. Great service as we were one couple out of four on a snowy Monday evening. Ambience was great except the music was a little loud.
