Arrived at this restaurant for dinner with three friends & unfortunately had a very disappointing experience. The waiter was extremely pushy & constantly tried to upsell us more food. One of our friend's plates was taken away before they had even finished eating, which felt very disrespectful & rushed.

We initially ordered lamb chops, pasta, & steak. When another friend arrived about 10 minutes later, the waiter immediately pushed her to order another lamb chop dish. The lamb chops arrived first, but we then waited over 1 hour & 20 minutes for the steak & pasta to arrive. In total, we spent around 1 hour & 30 minutes waiting for the full order, despite the restaurant not even being busy.

When we brought up the concern, the manager downplayed the situation instead of taking responsibility. He responded by asking,'Do you need more food?' clearly trying to avoid addressing the issue properly.

To make matters worse, the restaurant was extremely cold with no proper heating, & we were freezing while waiting for the food. Overall, very poor service, poor timing, & an unpleasant dining experience.

We had a lovely dinner at Ristorante Da Vinci. Lavi & the waitstaff were attentive without hovering. The menu was extensive without being overwhelming. We were provided with suggested wine pairings for our meal, which ended up being spot on. The food was delicious . We look forward to hosting a private event here later this month.

On a adoré notre expérience au Da Vinci. Les fruits de mer étaient exquis & le service sympathique. C'est également très pratique d'avoir accès à un stationnement intérieur gratuit.

Terrible experience overall. Very disappointed with the service we received. The waiter wearing the suit & glasses was extremely rude, pushy, & disrespectful throughout the entire interaction. We were even asked to pay before receiving our food, which felt very uncomfortable & unprofessional. On top of that, he kept pressuring us to order extra items even after we said no multiple times.

I've honestly never experienced service like this before. Definitely not a place I would recommend based on how we were treated. Do yourself a favour & stay away!!!!!!
