Food 3.79

Ambiance 3.75

Service 4.17

Value 3.04

Most Popular Dish: Crab Salad with Caviar

Additional Comments:

-location is not that good, too close to Chinatown, $5 valet is good, food is good; I have the crab salad, I enjoyed the dinner tonight.
-Good food with excellent service!  Valet service is almost a must in this neighbourhood.  Menu selection is very limited though, including the wine list.
-Sauce of duck confit enhance the duck flavour. The wine list/choice is great also white wine.  Overall: impressive.
-The food tastes really good.  But portion too small!!  And I don't like the location, just a personal preference.  Menu selection is too limited.

-Taste good and good portion size.
-We need a bigger table next time.
-Too squishy (but that's b/c we wanted to sit together), the food isn't that great in terms of portion and price, The 32oz prime rib was a bit rough/tough.

This group will continue to explore different local restaurants together, and have a great time while doing so! If you would like to join this SIG, please contact coordinator Felix Loo at ironlix@telus.net
