    Drinks are quite small. Soup was great. Burrata salad was also. My husband’s burger was tasty. Fries also! My eggplant dish was not good at all. Veggies were lukewarm and not cooked well. The Eggplant was so mushy. They did take it off the bill. Waiter was good but busy.

    First time and our dinner exceeded our expectations! The Executive Chef came to our table to welcome us and assist us with our menu choice. The service was first class and the bonus was to view the incredible glass museum inside the Hotel, after dinner.

    Food was delicious, along with the wine and cocktails ordered. We sampled the menu extensively. Everything was enjoyable. Ren was our server, she was efficient and managed our large party well (group of 7), and it was great to see good team work with the manager, Darryl, who was helping his team. Darryl checked on our table too, took our additional orders and was able to secure our table request for our group (called ahead). Thank you for another incredible evening, our group had an awesome evening celebrating a birthday at a great spot downtown!
