Always top notch, wonderful ambience, great service - personable & professional. What we also love is the relaxed atmosphere - not stuffy or snobby. We have loved this place since we found it in the 80's. It sets the bar for all other fine dining restaurants.

My friends & I enjoyed a lovely Christmas lunch. The variety on the menu was excellent, a choice to please for each of us.
The decorations are beautiful, so warm & cozy with the fireplace going.
The food was excellent & presented like a picture on the plate.
I will certainly bring my husband for dinner another time, he has to experience it.
Hands down one of the best restaurants I have ever been to. The chef specials are out of this world. The wait staff are like ballet dancers as they drift in & out with your food in a delicate balance of warmth & professionalism. Can't say enough about this restaurant. Top 10 on my list & I have been to many restaurants all over North America & the Caribbean. Absolute pleasure from the moment we walked in to the moment we stepped out the door. They have the formula for excellence.
