I went with my partner to that restaurant because we saw they have good reviews but unfortunately our experience wasn’t really nice. Since we got there the service was really bad, when we get to the tables no one gave us a menu to see what can we get, I believe there was only 2 servers and it wasn’t that full but none of them pay us attention since we got there but after 10 minutes one of the server approached to ask and said what we would like to eat, even though there was no menu on the table we had to ask for it. The waiter being the menu and took us a minute to decide so we ordered around 8:10, we didn’t ask anything to drink because we mainly went for the food. So we went 10 minutes, 20 minutes and even 40 minutes, we ask the server what happen with our order and they said that they are going to check first, after checking they realize they didn’t do the order so we had to wait more time but then another server came to apologize and said there was a glitch on the system that didn’t went to the kitchen but they will be cooking it. After all this bad inconvenience, my partner and I were a bit uncomfortable and annoyed for the situation and because of what happen all the server now start to pay attention to every moment, at the point to make us feel more uncomfortable but I know that they were trying to fix something that it’s hard after all. My boyfriend ask for a sangria because we had to wait for time, the server talk to us and said it was on the house because they feel bad for the inconvenience. So it was 9:05 and food still not coming, we ask and they said it’ll be ready soon. We have to wait for an hour so we can get 2 dishes, the server told us that he speak with the manager and said it was on the house for the inconvenience. At that point, we were not hungry, we had a couple bites and then leave it because that experience was bad at all, we felt disrespected and annoyed. It looks a great place to eat and have dinner but I won’t recommend because of the service, we literally saw how the servers pay attention more to other tables with more people that look like friend of them too than us. And I hope no other pass for this bad experience

West end location is my favourite. It's such a cool patio. A little shocked by how much I liked the pear salad.

Service was terrible.
The waiter kept forgetting our orders, and it took 30 minutes just to get our drinks. She never came back with the pepper and parmesan cheese for the gnocchi, so my partner had to eat it plain. None of the staff apologized for these poor services or checked on us, so we had no chance to bring up the issues. It was hugely disappointing, and I’m not sure I would return.
We visited this restaurant on a whim during a recent business trip and we were not disappointed. The restaurant is elegant and the food was outstanding. The staff really made it, in particular our waitress, whose name unfortunately I don’t recall. We will absolutely be back next time! The menus do need sorting though as each on was different. It was off the beaten track on a quieter road, which we appreciated.

We came here for a goodbye dinner for my sister and a special night with my girlfriend, and decided to try the “Date Night Special” (I believe that’s what it’s called). Unfortunately, they didn’t have the first item my girlfriend ordered, so she had to change her choice. Then I ordered the spaghetti frutti di mare, but the server came back to let us know they were out of clams. Not a huge issue — we said to just make it work.
When the food arrived, my girlfriend’s plate was missing altogether. They apologized, but it took another 15 minutes for it to reach the table. Later, we ordered dessert, and again, the item my girlfriend picked wasn’t available — at that point, it honestly felt like a running joke.
My sister-in-law also asked about the ingredients due to a food allergy, and the server responded with something like, “That’s just how the plates are made,” which didn’t feel very accommodating. Then someone in our group mentioned crème brûlée, thinking it was on the menu, and the server replied, “That’s French, not Italian,” and added something like, “The dessert menu hasn’t changed in a while.” The tone came off more dismissive than helpful — and to be honest, it made the person feel a bit embarrassed in front of everyone. At that point, I honestly started taking everything as a joke.
For the record, I can afford to dine at expensive places. I like to eat well, and I’m completely fine spending $200–$300 for a great dinner for two. But in this case, the experience just didn’t match the cost. The bill came to around $240, and a 20% gratuity was automatically added due to our party size (more than 5 people).
The food was tasty, but the service and overall vibe were disappointing. I wouldn’t recommend this place

My husband and I came here for our date-night (5pm reservation cuz 2 kids under 3) and... WOW! The ambience, are you kidding me? We sat on the patio, which is like a green oasis heaven but the inside of the cozy lovely restaurant is totally gorgeous and well-designed. The food was a 10/10. Our waitress was named Celisha and she was PERFECT. So personable and funny and lovely to speak to. The tiramisu was so good, we ordered 2, because I didn't want to have a divorce over duelling for the last bite 😂. Run, don't walk!!

This place used to be great. Not sure if ownership changed but it's now slightly overpriced, family-style Italian that has yet to realize that it's lost any veneer of refinement. Food wasn't bad though.
Ps - although very sweet, someone needs to tell that server from New Zealand to go easy on the shrooms before his shift.
A+ Service
