The food was perfect- from the roasted cauliflower appetizer to our main dishes (duck, lamb, halibut and venison), everything was perfectly cooked, deliciously seasoned and we were all delighted. Portions are moderate; dessert portions were on the small side but very rich so appropriate. Server was attentive and pleasant.

Super tasty tomahawk Biden dinner for two but very expensive mean (current MP was $235 CAD ! But great experience to have at least once. The cocktails were great and the deck is terrific when the weather permits

We had a great experience. We loved the food and the bison tasted especially good. The knockout dish of the night was the chicken though, which was extremely tender and well-seasoned. The bison was also a great dish, also really tender and tasty! All the food tasted so good, and our server was very attentive to the allergies of one member of our party.

This was one of our top 5 restaurant experiences we've had start to finish. Everything was excellent. The summer cocktails were delicious. We had the bison tartare, scallops and tomato tartlets to start...phenomenal. We had the bison short rib and the duck for our mains and again, phenomenal. The service was fantastic as well and a nice topper to a great meal.

Wonderful! Not a budget meal but worth every penny IMO, I had the duck and my husband the braised shortribs and both were amazing! Megan was our server and she was friendly and helpful and very familiar with the menu- great place with a lovely rooftop patio, highly recommend!

Abi our server was very helpful with choices and recommendations. The one that stood out the most was Nick. He was very enthusiastic and made every food that he delivered he was very happy. We definitely will come back and have dinner at this place.

Dinner here was a good choice. We had the bison tartare, tomato tartlets, seared scallops - all appetizers - and a chocolate cream cookie for dessert. All were delicious. The ambience is upscale and the atmosphere lively, the service was brisk and attentive, and our waiter was charming. We ordered glasses of red and white, which were good but a bit pricey.

Outstanding experience. The food was the best we've had in the area and the service was above and beyond. The cocktails were also excellent. I highly recommend this restaurant.

Jennifer

Oh. My. Goodness. The food, the service, the vibe...all outstanding. We ordered the Bison Tomahawk, and it was insanely delicious. Our server, Steven, was also a complete delight. Loved everything about this spot!

I've been in Michelin star restaurants, and this eating spot outstanding in so many ways. I only wish it was closer to home. Food, service and ambience were 10 out of 10.

Food was really good. Served was excellent. We were seated in the back by the restrooms and it was uncomfortably warm. Also there was really no US whiskey. But they have a good wine list. My party was happy with this selection.

The food was outstanding...visually appealing and tasted great. The drinks from the bar were sub-par. Dirty martini tasted like vermouth. The old fashion tested like bitters. Both drinks looked great. They took the dirty martini off the bill. The tomahawk steak for 2 was awesome. Service was inattentive. Ran out of water multiple times. Didn't come back to the table until the food was served. We wanted to order wine in advance.
