The restaurant has a lovely décor and a pleasant atmosphere. The front-of-house staff were friendly, welcoming, and attentive throughout our meal. Overall, the food was very good. The meat was cooked perfectly, the fried calamari was excellent, the chicken skewers were delicious, the vegetables were well prepared, and the seasoning was well balanced. The only real downside was the sauces. One spoonful of sauce per sauce boat is simply not enough, both in terms of quantity and flavour. In addition, they were not served hot enough. After about fifteen minutes, the butter had already solidified in the sauce boats. Another point that could be improved is the noise coming from the kitchen. We had dinner at 6:45 pm, and with only two tables occupied in the dining room, we could clearly hear the kitchen staff talking and singing. A quieter kitchen would make the dining experience much more enjoyable, which is why I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5. Despite these few points, we had a very enjoyable evening and will gladly return, hoping for a quieter atmosphere in the kitchen next time.

I guess my luck ran out on my third visit. I had a great experience with both dinner and breakfast service over the past couple of days, but unfortunately this morning wasn’t as good when I ordered the big breakfast. After quite a long wait, I was told the cooks were still testing the cooking time for the breakfast sausage as they weren’t experienced with it yet. I’m sorry, but this is something that really should be sorted during prep — like any job, the research should be done before presentation. That said, I must add that the waitress and manager were both lovely — very friendly, understanding, and professional. The manager sincerely apologized, waived my coffee payment, and kindly offered me a scone, which I appreciated. This place truly is a gem and has a great reputation, so I really hope the kitchen team doesn’t let the restaurant down again. Note picture is from dinner, and it’s was delicious.

Oysters were great, fish superb, drinks menu did not have several of the items on menu but run out (no cider for example) folks spend some money or reprint your menu. Solid meal but you can do better at many Wellington restaurants. Place was empty, guess that should have been our warning bell!

A good spot for an express lunch, especially if you’re meeting someone and need something quick and convenient. The food is simple—nothing particularly memorable—but it does the job. Service is fast, though also nothing special. Overall, a solid 4-star experience in my opinion. It feels like a place that isn’t trying to be more than it is, but also isn’t offering anything less.

Celebrated our 14th wedding anniversary there. Kind of romantic enough for us. Great food! Enjoyed everything we had, including the sides, entree, steak and drinks! The sauce for my scotch fillet is my highlight! Loved it!
