| - We came using a Groupon (that I bought this evening as I didn't want to cook!) and I'm more than impressed by this place.
The ambiance was definitely 5/5, the service was definitely 5/5. Staff were attentive, our food came out exactly when it should have so the meal had a very appropriate pace. Basically, we would have a slight lull in conversation and our next course would arrive!
The food is the only place where I had any concerns (and these are VERY minimal). The hors d'oeuvres were excellent, I actually think that might have been the best shrimp cocktail I've ever had. The shrimp were the perfect level of plumpness and almost crispiness (spectacular!). The appetizers were wonderful (we had the calamari and the escargots), the bread that accompanied was good (my partner would have preferred butter over hummus, but I like hummus, so I'm not complaining). We both had the steak, and both asked for medium (we are both comfortable with a range from medium rare to medium well). The steaks were closer to medium rare than medium, though it was arguable. Regardless, we both FULLY enjoyed them and did not send them back, they were extremely tender and very flavourful (sending them back likely would have ruined that, I'm sure). The desserts (creme brulee and caramel brownie cheesecake) were rich and decadent and perfectly sized servings (the cheesecake might have been the richest I've ever had!).
So overall, if I could give it 4.5 or even 4 and 3/4, I would. As it stands 4/5 is our review and we will definitely go back!
