| - Newly renovated with a billion sets of stairs or elevators to take you to your seats! I walked into the restaurant and was immediately greeted by two beautiful ladies. The main floor was very modern with wooden bar top tables and it was extremely busy on a Tuesday afternoon. One of the ladies, escorted me to my table which was all the way at the top of the restaurant. It was really nicely decorated with a huge bar area, multiple tv's and a projector, heaters on the ceilings to keep warm during the winter months, as well as window ceilings so there the place was nicely lit. Once seated, I was asked almost immediately if I'd like to start off with anything to drink. Looking through the menu, they had a wide selection of foods from appetizers, salads, burgers, main courses (which included duck confit, butternut squash ravioli, salmon, steak, sablefish, and many many more). They also have drink specials for every day of the week, which is always an added bonus. Once everyone arrived, we decided to start with their Calamari and the Butternut Squash Ravioli with Prawns as the appetizer. I must warn you that the Butternut Squash Ravioli is to die for! They are the most delicious ravioli's I have ever tasted.. Melt in your mouth and full of flavour! I highly highly highly recommend you try it for your main dish or get the appetizer pieces to share. The Calamari was mediocre, it was too battered for my liking. For my main, I decided to try the Duck Confit (which came with lentils and arugula salad). From previous experience, I was debating if I should order it because I remember it being extremely salty the last place I had it. However, this Duck Confit was delicious with just the right amount of salad to balance the saltiness of the duck and the lentils went really well with everything. The only complaint we had was that the steak that we ordered, was not served as "medium rare" like we had asked for. However, the waitress told us it was because of the lighting of the restaurant that made it look more "medium" and also confirmed with the cooks in the kitchen that it was. We didn't bother asking them to grill us a new piece of steak but the manager of the restaurant was nice enough to come over and apologize about the steak not being cooked to medium-rare. Overall, I had a great experience, the waitress that we had made sure our needs were met by asking us if we were doing okay several times. She was very friendly and professional. The only bad thing is that they are limited in reservations and they happen to be busy all day, every day so you will have to wait to get a seat regardless of how large the restaurant is.. But I promise that it's definitely worth the wait!
