Well folks we tried this two times and I left hungry and irritated both times...not that I am big eater but honestly the servings are skimpy. To begin with it was a Saturday night, the place was pretty quiet,which is not a good sign.

The place is clean and inviting, but the waitress was not very friendly. Once we had our food she never returned, at the end of the meal she stuck our bills in the small glasses on the table never inquiring how things were or if we wanted a dessert. We actually had to ask another waitress to find her to get our bills.
She just seemed to have vanished!
The menu is limited and most items are alla carte, and expensive.
The first time I had the ribeye steak, a rather small cut of meat placed on a scoop of mashed garlic yukon gold potatoes. The steak had a good flavor, but a bit chewy. . The pepper coulis sort of took over and was all I could taste. I thought the coulis was simply not needed. There was no bread served and if I wanted a salad it was an extra $5.00.

The second time I opted for the pasta, prawns and pancetta.This was supposed to be in a creamy basil lemon sauce. When it arrived I could not detect any "creamy" sauce, and when I tasted it there was no hint of basil. The whole dish was swimming in oil. There were 4 prawns, with a few pieces of asparagus and a lot of marinated artichoke hearts, like the ones you can buy at Costco in the big bottle. Very little pasta!
The flavor was way too tart, too much lemon was used, it just tasted like lemon and oil.
The cost of this dish was $16.00.
