I ate there last week. The meal was great up until the point where I starting feeling ill immediately after leaving, a situation that only improved after throwing up everything I'd eaten a couple of hours later. I had the lobster risotto and roasted duck breast, not sure which was to blame. I phoned the restaurant the following day and they took down my number, but never called back- obviously they didn't care too much. I eat out at restaurants a lot and have no food allergies that I know of, I've eaten dishes with these ingredients many times.
Would you recommend this to a friend?
No

See the review- they gave me food poisoning.
The flavours and innovations are great. My complaint is, why they use sooooo much butter/oil on everything. If they use fresh, tasty, veggies, then there is no need to drown it in sauce or butter. I had a very upset tummy afterwards from the richness of the food. Not healthy.

I love love love this restuarant! The portion sizes are great actually and you must must start with the smoked salmon and truffled perogies..to die for!

I travel often and wide - this restaurant would be a great restaurant in any international city. An exciting menu present bold flavours and fresh seasonal ingredients.

Great food, great ambience, a good wine list. But with a rather unattentive server, a bad vintage, and rather large main course portions, I might wait a while to go back

Eating here more than once, usually a very good experience. Best wine list I have ever seen. Dated interior with some really ugly art, good wait staff. Large portions as compared to other establishments of this price range. Dinners have always been great, I do not recomend eating here for lunch.

Always a treat to go, but once you enter the facility, one remembers from the last experience - the not-so-friendly host staff (same for phoning in a reservation) and 'rigid' serving staff - not genuine. The good tasting food and ambiance is just enough to distract from the staffing issues.

Fabulous food, especially dessert. Would return in a heartbeat.

The best food I have tasted in years, excellent service and my water glass was always kept full.
