Customer Reviews

Honestly the best meal I’ve had in a long time! The steak and sauce was so incredibly flavourful, the dessert was amazing, and our waitress was also amazing. By far best food in St. Albert that I’ve had, although there are many great restaurants here, this is my favourite so far.
Well once ya find out how to get in everything was amazing . Had our reservation correct was on point with timing the drinks, orders, refills, desert the works . Timing really can be everything when your out for a lovely evening and family has flown into visit . Our server read the table beautifully and was able to actually recomend things as shes tasted the menu!!! As it should be. The food was pleasantly plated and the flavour matched the beauty. Appetizers were prompt, the shrimp was large rich in flavour and fresh. The combined flavour and crispness of greens on bison carpaccio was beautifuly balanced . Main course Meat was tender,cooked perfectly, portions were resonable and satisfying. Sweetly that even complimented me a desert. Will most certaintly be back to try more .
We stopped in for our tenth anniversary here and the food was amazing. Came right when it opened on Saturday, prebooked a reservation just in case, and when we left it was filling up fast so it was probably a good idea. Had the duck and tenderloin, both were perfectly cooked. The sauces and accompaniment were so flavourful, definitely will be back!
