Their service is amazing. The grilled verlasso salmon is one of the best tasting salmon dishes I've had.

My son and I popped in for a impromptu holiday meal while downtown for another holiday event. From the hostess to our servers we were treated so kindly. My son has anaphylactic food allergies and they were very accommodating. Something so hard to find in fine dining with a child. Our food was so yummy, just as I’ve remembered from years ago when I was here. Great experience for a special holiday dinner with my son.
