Stunning from start to finish. Gary’s truly sets a new standard of excellence! With the family menu shared between four of us, we got to try every dish on the menu. I kid you not, every single dish was a hit. We were really blown away. The service was immaculate. Wine suggestions were 10/10. Honestly don’t hesitate, just go. PS I was initially unsure from photos about the ambiance but was delighted to find the restaurant dimly lit with burning candles on each table. Beautiful, warm, cozy. Great job guys. We will absolutely be back.
Great ambiance and service. My partner and I ordered the tasting menu, and we had a decent time. However, I can't help shake the feeling that food is a bit overhyped. Also, the cocktail "Martini No 1" needs a new name. All I could taste was the sherry, and the drink bears little resemblance to an actual martini.
My favourite place to eat when I am in the neighbourhood. The service is really fantastic even when they have a shortage of servers. The food is delicious and I never have to wait for them to refill my coffee. The servers are always busy but find time to stop by and ask how is the food etc.
Cozy, friendly diner with typical menu, quick, efficient service and one of the best burgers (the Canadian) I've had in a very long time. The sweet potato fries and crab cakes were very good too. And the draft beer.
