Upon entering the restaurant, there was a hostess who wasn't very friendly. She didn't bother to ask if we had a reservation. She told us to just go in, and so we did and a waiter stopped us and told us to go back to the entrance and get the hostess to grab a table for us. She was like "oh sorry I didn't know you had a reservation." She must have thought we were there just for drinks, but given the distance from the reception to the dining area, it was no brainer there should have been someone leading us to the dining room and bar area. I haven't experienced this kind of thing anywhere else.
Once seated, our waiter went over the menu and he forgot some ingredients in a dish so he had to refer to his notes, lol. I got a special fish entrée that he mentioned. You get a little bit of everything: salmon, a couple of shrimps, three mussels, and scallop on top of risotto. I loved salmon, shrimps and risotto. They were delicious though you may find it salty. Mussels were okay. They were all dry. This entrée was not on the menu and it was a little overpriced ($44) for what I got. It was more like a 30-something dish. My dining partner got Stuffed Rainbow Trout and I got to sample a little bit. It was okay: fried fish with baby shrimp and crab meat inside.
We got to try their Fresh Asparagus side, which was a lot of asparagus. We ordered it because we were told that their main dishes do not come with any sides, so you need to order them separately. We also ordered a Lobster Bisque soup. I wouldn't order it again. It was too salty and a waste of money. It tasted as if they had it sitting for the whole day. Not sure if it was even put in the microwave. Even the lobster bisque from Old Mill was better and I don't like Old Mill's hot dishes. When we ordered it, we wanted to be able to share it, and the waiter kindly offered that he would put it on two bowls for us. We didn't think that it meant that they would charge us for two cups of the soup. If they were gonna do that, not sure why the waiter failed to tell us. We did share a soup from a couple of fancy restaurants before, and they didn't charge us for two cups of the soup. Another first from this fine restaurant! (sarcasm intended). My dish containing salmon, shrimps and risotto was good but it was overall an unpleasant dining experience, and I wouldn't recommend this place.
Lastly, the women's washroom had some weird looking circular shaped black thing bulging out of the wall in one of the stalls. I was freaked out if someone put a camera in there or something. It was kind of dark to figure out what that was, and it was pointing at the wall.
