| - Had a great meal here, will definitely go back. Service was great, we were in no rush and enjoyed having the opportunity to have a leisurely dinner with friends. That seems to be the kind of service they provide so it meshed well.
Atmosphere is upscale casual, nicely decorated place with a modern but cozy feel. Biggest plus was that it was such a nice temperature in the restaurant, I hate walking into an ice box and freezing for the duration of the meal, using the napkin like a blanket...
Our waiter was enthusiastic, good humoured and did a good job helping us decide what we wanted, or at least validating that it was a good choice.
They gave us some bread and olives to get us going which were very tasty. We ordered the muscles to start, I drank the remaining broth like soup, it was so good (they give you spoons for this, some restaurants don't).
Also had the rabbit ragu (YUM), swordfish (wonderfully tender), the seafood pasta (really good) and the sterling. The meat was underdone for my husband's liking (rare) and they happily took it back and gave it a bit more time on the grill - it came back a perfect medium rare.
The wine was a bit pricy if you are familiar with how much the bottles are at the LCBO but that's typical at restaurants. We bought two bottles at $40 ea. For the whole meal, including two bottles of wine it came out to about $260 before tip.
