Good location and great service. Every staff member was very nice. Food was a bit salty overall, but good, and above average in quality and presentation.

The food was great as was the ambience and music. Cocktails could have been better - they were not well-balanced. Looks like they had a good selection of wines though. Service was generally good. The waitstaff was nice, but we had 3 different people attending to our table which led to some confusion about who ordered what and one server asked after clearing our appetizers if we wanted to see the dessert menu, and I had to point out that we had not yet received the entrees we ordered. I would still go back but feel like this place could be some much better with some attention to details.

Very nice interiors. Nice and quiet. Friendly staff. Food was spotty though. Crostini appetizer was skimpy; Just a single piece of toast on a plate. Salad was very good with bitter greens and a tangy vinaigrette. The wild boar tagliatelle was the best, followed by the gnocchi with walnut pesto. The seafood stew was bland and just not interesting. In all cases the plating was uninspired. Tipping is set at a minimum of 20% and goes up from there. $190 all in and we left a little hungry and feeling like “what just happened?” In their defense a new menu was rolled out that night so maybe they just need to refine everything.

The antipasti was average. Olives were indifferent and eggplant had very little flavour. Pasta was very tasty - butter and truffle, why not. The flourless cake was mediocre to poor. But here's what stood out: the service. Natalie was excellent. It didn't feel like dining in an American restaurant; nobody pestered us for ordering the next course. It wasn't indifference - she kept a close eye on our needs. The gin fizz was well made and wine (recommendations) were spot on.
