I had very low expectations after hearing and reading about the horrible service many people have experienced here. To my surprise our group of eleven had food and drink orders taken care of promptly. Everything came out of the bar and kitchen in no time at all. Friends who arrived late were also greeted with the same speedy service. Empty platters were quickly removed from our crowded table and my wine glass was never empty. I was surprisingly impressed.
I wasn't impressed however with the food, which I found to be lusterless and extremely overpriced. I could have had the exact same meal at a fraction of the cost somewhere else. I definitely wouldn't recommend coming here for the food, but I would recommend coming here to enjoy a drink. The venue is beautiful from inside to out with the high ceilings and asian accents. The terrace was a great place to unwind after our meal among the koi pond and fire to keep warm. While you're here don't forget to stop by the washrooms!
