Frank P
Jun 08, 2026"Family dinner on Saturday. Very welcoming reception upon arrival which was a great start to a wonderful evening of dining experience. Great food with the duck as a standout, very flavourful & done just right. Very noteworthy was the way they handled a 23 year old Bordeaux, using a Durand corkscrew, a sign that this restaurant knows about wine. The service was another reason for us to visit this restaurant more often, thanks to Sheree(hopefully correctly spelled)."
