This was my third visit and decided to try something different. I went for the 6-course Taster Menu. From start to finish the service and the food were spectacular. My favourites we the scallop starter, the pasta course, the sablefish course, and the beef course. That said, everything was flavour-filled and scrumptious! Special Thanks to Server, Gerard and Sommelier, Keiran for making the evening...

I had booked a suite for my wedding weekend and the services here were impeccable. Anything we needed for getting ready was promptly brought to the room.

Overall loved staying here and will definitely be ba...

The vie...

Everyone we encountered was pleasant and we felt taken care of at all times. The location is great, in the middle of a hip area on the waterfront. One note for improvement was that virtually the entire lobby is taken up by the lobby bar. There’s no quiet place to s...
