FOOD:
We had come here for lunch on a Tuesday afternoon at around 12:15 pm. I had settled on the Veal Sandwich & Garden Salad Meal (although I was told I could have the Caesar Salad instead; $18.00), while my mother had settled on the Margharita Pizza ($19.00). We were first served a small plate of fresh bread, which tasted marvellous, very fresh, with just the perfect texture, alongside a plate of oil and vinegar mixed together. When I had dipped the bread into the oil and vinegar mixture, it was pure heaven, absolutely delicious!

In terms of my Veal Sandwich & Caesar Salad, I was beyond impressed with how delicious everything tasted. I had asked for no peppers on my sandwich however, I was disappointed to note that there were olives on there (which I didn’t like however, wasn’t told they would be on there). I took the olives off, and bit into the sandwich, which tasted wonderful! The veal was very tender, with melted cheese, and a pesto-type of paste spread on both sides of the bread. The bread was crunchy on the outside, and soft on the inside, with just the perfect flavouring with the veal and cheese. I loved every bite of this sandwich, with my mother agreeing on how delicious it tasted.

When I had noticed my Caesar Salad, I was confused as to why there was a waffle-like item on the top of it. Then, when I took a piece of it, I realized it was crunchy cheese, which was meant to be broken-up and sprinkled on the top of the salad. Also, the salad was presented on the plate rolled-up, but when I had used my fork to smooth it down, it was a large portion-size, and tasted absolutely divine! It had a wonderful dressing on it, which wasn’t too creamy, and very tasty. One thing I noticed though was that there were no bacon bits, which was not too much of a problem as the salad was delicious without it.

My mother’s Margharita Pizza was also very delicious, with it being made very thin, with just the perfect amount of cheese and sauce, not too overpowering. It was also a very large pizza, with extra to take home. Overall, we were very impressed with how amazing everything tasted, and loved all of the food that we were given. I was able to tell that this food was homemade, with a lot of effort put into making it taste, and look perfect.

ATMOSPHERE:
When we had walked-into this restaurant, we were amazed at how beautiful it looked; from the pictures on the walls, to the light-fixtures, to the couches at the tables. Everything about this restaurant resembled elegance, and we felt as though we were royalty. Even the couch that I was sitting on at our table was diamond-studded, making me feel important! All of the decor was chic and modern, with a lot of room in-between all tables and chairs. The only thing was that it was very cold, with the temperature being a bit too low for the cold weather that we were experiencing outside at that time.

SERVICE:
We were greeted promptly once we had arrived at this restaurant, which made us happy to see such good service. However, the one thing that really disappointed us throughout our entire stay was the lack of prompt service as we dined. We were given our menus, and had to wait at least ten minutes before we were approached for our orders to be taken. The individual that came to take our orders didn’t apologize for the wait, and seemed to be rushed. We noticed that there was a large party taking place in the basement of the restaurant however, that shouldn’t have deterred from the rest of the restaurant being served promptly. It then took us a long time to get our bill once we were finished, something that shouldn’t have happened at a restaurant of this calibre. Overall, the service was definitely lacking during our stay, with no apology whatsoever.

COST:
1 Veal Sandwich & Caesar Salad Meal: $18.00 + 1 Margharita Pizza: $19.00: $37.00 + Tax = $41.81

WOULD YOU RETURN?
We really enjoyed the food and atmosphere of this restaurant. However, we found the service to be horrible, and the food was a bit too expensive for just a weekday lunch.

Food is amazing, so is the ambience. All the servers are friendly and professional. I had the spicy linguine pasta which was delicious. Would go again!
