• "Then they suggested taking the fresh fish of the day, which was a seabass, but the portion was ridiculously small for the very expensive price."
• "The food was very good with a nice presentation of a whole fish. It took awhile but understanding that is a sunny Sunday, lots of people."
• "Dishes were not as good as a previous visit, parsnip hash arrived and it was deep fried crispy parsnips not a hash at all."
• "Food was really nice, decor very beautiful and location is great. Haphazard with taking orders and the mismatch in timing different orders to arrive at the same time."
• "Food is amazing. Same with the staff here. Not only do they not have an issue serving me takeout from their window when I'm skating."
• "The food is lovely, and the chef with his kitchen team work very hard to produce amazingly fresh and delicious food. However, he is let down by poor waiting staff who run around manically."
