The winter prix fixe sounds like a good deal, but incredibly disappointing in quality. The arancini app was passable considering the rest of the meal,…

Went for dinner with friends. Its located in the middle of a plaza on yonge street north of hwy 7 and 407. Its in the plaza with the LCBO just behind the Harley Davidson store. Tonnes of free parking. No parking anxiety here. :)I got the lasagna,my friends got the gnocchi with a white cheese sauce , we shared bruschetta and wineThey brought bread to our table that was hard and cold. Seemed like it was leftovers from the night before that they just put in the fridge and pulled it out for us. It comes with oil and vinegar. My friend asked for butter and we got a small bowl with three hard ( fridge cold, is not spreadable) and two frozen ( definitely not spreadable) balls of butter.The lasagne was delicious pasta cooked perfectly, the sauce was wonderful and flavourful. The gnocchi was delicious. Pillows of potatoes cheese sauce clinging, chicken perfectly cooked. The bruchetta was okay tomatoes and stuff on hard bread, the usual, nothing special). Their wine selection is really good lots of great choices!Based on food I would have rated this a 4 or more but the bread,and the service. I couldn’t.The server had just two tables with people and spent most of the time chatting with the hostess by the cash. She had her back to is a few times, hoe cam you take care of tables if you don’t even look at them? We needed things and had to stand and wave to get her attention. Twice. We didn’t get dessert because, while waiting after we finished eating, we had enough time to sit and talk ourselves into going somewhere else for dessert. All in all. Love the food. Hate the service ( and bread) whatlynnate.wordpress.com
Decent Restaurant – Expensive Drinks!. Went here with my co-workers for a work dinner.I will outline a few good and bad things:- The food was really good for the price. I thoroughly enjoyed my Chicken Parma. with Pasta as it came hot, well cooked and tasted delicious with the Tomato Sauce. The Cesar Salad was tasteful as well.- The atmosphere was also really nice. A lot of different groups of people (young and older/mature). There were no loud kids or people who just stared at you while you are trying to enjoy your dinner. It was actually a surprise considering it was a Friday evening at the heart of Richmond Hill.- The price of beer was a little bit overpriced. I paid around $20 for two pints of beer. Both were imported beers but at most restaurants, you will be paying around $15 for two pints of premium. Also got charged 15% gratuity on alcohol? I was going to tip and I did originally until my friend noticed that we got charged. I guess that is a new thing considering I do go to more expensive restaurants and do not get charged gratuity on the alcohol.- The service was decent / 3/5. The waiter did come a few times to ask for drinks, but that was after about 20 minutes. I do see that the restaurant was busy but there were more than enough waiters / waitresses to assist. I may be a bit picky, but service is always extremely important in restaurants.Over all, this would be a place I would recommend to people who want good food, with regular drinks once or twice a year. As a regular place to enjoy yourself, I probably wouldn’t recommend it.3/5 Stars.
This place has goo good but also great customer service. They really take care of ur needs and don’t make u feel like a burden for asking for a change. I think it was the manager, but she brought my margherita pizza and told me herself that she thinks it looks too overdone and that if I feel it is then they will make me a new one! They let me keep this one as an appetizer for my family and actually made me a brand new pizza! I’ve never experienced such good customer service. The pizza was great once they remade it!
Meh. Food was expensive, portion was tiny and I left hungry. Service was okay
This is a great place to eat with family or a date. Great atmosphere, good food and great service.
I did not like it.. Food was OK but service was not there. My empty water glass was sitting on table forever she never checked me on my food and wine. Why would I bother to go back? I dont like to judge place just by wait staffs but..
Incoming message. Great pizza not too expencive a few sexy women you know blondes and free additional cheese
