The onion soup I had was the most delicious I've ever tasted. I requested a custom cocktail, & it was satisfyingly similar to the picture I showed the server. Ordering the Caesar salad & steak didn't disappoint either. The consistency of taste across Fairmont locations is impressive.

Le service était plus-que-parfait & la nourriture était goûteuse. Le restaurant a réussi à nous trouver une place pour 8 malgré notre manque de préparation. Bien entendu, le coût était plus élevé & les assiettes étaient moins généreuses (mais absolument suffisantes) comme dans tout restaurant de cette gamme, mais nous avons été surpris par la taille des assiettes enfants & de l'entrée choisie (oignons & calmars frits). Nous avons mangé cette entrée à 4 personnes tant il y en avait.

Our server Louis couldn't have been any better! He made our anniversary feel special. Would definitely recommend him & the food

The food was excellent, & I was initially considering giving it 5 stars. However, one aspect left me dissatisfied. The receptionists at the restaurant her name is Laurie, lacked hospitality & her demeanor towards us was unwelcoming. Her communication came across as discriminatory, which was disappointing.

The fish is gorgeous, the bread is not fresh/homemade, but the butter is excellent.

The dishes we ordered were just ordinary. Nothing to write home about. I've had better diner food.
