We chose this place for our wedding anniversary. First impression when we entered was that it had a nice ambiance. The menu choices were an excellent variety offering several fish and steak cuts as well as other choices you'd only expect at a higher end restaurant. The wine choices were excellent and they even had our favourite wine.
So why the single star?
We felt quite rushed from the moment we sat down. We had barely even had a chance to look at the menu when we were asked twice if we were ready to order and pick our drink choices.
My wife chose the Caesar salad to start and I chose the lobster bisque. I realize less is more and that many high end restaurants serve smaller portions, but they also use higher end flavourful ingredients. The salad was a couple standard lettuce chunks with a few bacon bits and parmesan cheese and capers with two croutons. Something similar to a bagged salad. The soup wasn't really flavourful. More bland rosè than lobster tasting.
The wine we chose we love. The issue was it was served slightly above room temperature.
Main course, my wife chose the halibut. It resembled one of those frozen vacuum packed fillets in a bag of fish fillets you buy from Costco. Seemed over cooked or cooked from a fillet frozen too long with two small shrimp, one carrot, one piece of broccoli l, one piece of cauliflower and a couple mini potatoes for $36.
I had the bison short rib. Which I didn't mind actually.
We skipped desert.
We wouldn't choose to come back here. For the price and quality there are several large chain restaurants that can dish out similar mass produced dishes at a lower end price.
