"This is one classy joint (with a fireplace). A small intimate venue. English peas, pea shoots and citrus sambal is one of the side dishes here on offer with certain meals. Perfection. The vegetables and vegetarian dishes are among the finest you will find anywhere. The intimacy of the place is also a plus. A succulent mustard grilled chicken, an extremely light pan seared halibut, and a slow roas ... read more > -

"A few outlets in the area. The fact that it’s a chain means great service: They have a rep to maintain after all, so if you don’t enjoy the experience at one venue, you might not try another. Happy Hour is great here too. Mac and cheese is great here. Combine it with the onion bread and it goes down a treat. A choice of two salads means you’re not eating a big hunk of protein if you don’t want to ... read more > -

"A seafood restaurant par excellence, this venue has a lot more to offer. Autumnal décor and hues mark it out as a discreet place to come dine, but it’s the right side of spacious too, with high ceilings. A constantly changing menu is always filled with the freshest ingredients on the market. With respect to the non fish menu items, the Wagyu beef is superb. The duck really delivers too.

"With a “to go” line for those getting take out and other registers for sit down meals, this place is a great healthy eating establishment, but even with the take out orders siphoned off, it gets very busy. You will find a great veggie burger here. Perfect soups are also on offer. Salads on offer are all very appealing. Some of them feature stuff a bit off the beaten track, such as dandelion (not ... read more > -

"The bartenders and servers here are more than accommodating. Delightful Italian meat cuts enhanced by the creamiest of mozzarella cheese are found among the appetizers. The management could just sell the cheese on each plate and they would never go out of business. You can enjoy a grilled beef tagliata or the sea urchin and crab pasta is a tasty dish as well. Lighter dishes also include the halib ... read more > -
