I was having trouble deciding what to rate this place.
I'll start with the positives:
1) Incredible service
I'm not usually one to comment on service, but at a place like this you can't help but comment on it. They make you feel like royalty surrounded by loyal servants who know their job well and perform it with dignity and grace
2) Solid food
You get the feeling they have been making the same dishes forever and have perfected everything, but sometimes forget to step back and review each dish as if for the first time.
First they brought an amuse-bouche of sardines that was one of the best parts of the meal. I don't usually like sardines, but the merging of flavours was impeccable.
For an appetizer we shared the yellow fin tuna tartar. Subtle flavours with very fresh tuna.
For mains we had the filet mignon and the venison. My venison was cooked very well, although I found the mustard was used a little too liberally on the plate. It overwhelmed the other subtle tastes at times.
Finally, we got the infamous coconut cream pie for dessert. It was the best I've ever had, bar none.
3) Great view
Most tables can look south through the floor-to-ceiling windows towards the downtown core. Beautiful as the sun sets.
There aren't really any specific negatives, except a nagging feeling that I could have spent this amount of money on another restaurant and gotten something more unique. Maybe it's just my desire for more modern fare, but I left the restaurant wondering if they could be doing more.
I would recommend this restaurant for anyone looking to celebrate a special occasion with a very safe meal that will be exactly as good as you expect.
