Went with my daughter for brunch on a Saturday. The waitress was distant, unresponaive and unhelpful. She took our order and she never came back to the table again until she wanted to give us the bill. The meal was supposed to come with pastries but that didn't happen. The mimosas were $11 each, small and not made with fresh... More

Came here as a group of four (two couples). Service was extremely slow, at one point my friend's wine carafe was taken away as the waitress left it on the windowsill when we were sitting in the middle of the room. Lobster was tough, and was lacking the butter sauce, my friend's steak was tough and over done. For the... More

Have eaten here 3 times and each time I promise will be the last. Don't even know what the cuisine is supposed to be, very confusing. Loud, bad service, over priced. Wife hat some inedible dishes. I promise never again!

This former Seagram's building is a beautiful setting for this ambitious restaurant. From greeter to server, the service is that perfect blend of friendly and efficient, and the recommendations for wine and food were perfect. The pizzas are freshly made to order, and the gnocchi is outstanding. Try the carpaccio or the arancini (fried risotto) to start. The daily soup... More

i dine here often the food is usually good. The Arancini ( fried risotto balls) are delicious and the beef carpaccio is usually good. My significant other had the Braised Veal Osso Bucco Tower which was pretty good the veal was a bit bland though but thats my opinion

Dessert also took 25 minutes after order Food was quite tasty and curry vegetable soup with coconut was excellent. Scallop special of... More

They took our reservation with little notice, which was great. Good selection of food, nicely prepared. Sitting a little too close to the kitchen, so didn't enjoy the ambiance as much.
