Thursday night dinner and the parking lot was packed. This charming restaurant in Royal Oak has a wonderful reputation with years of service to its patrons. While the charming decor is simple, Management appears to be running this little gem into the ground by not even doing basic maintenance to the facade and lighting. Staff at this restaurant are polite and enthusiastic but the kitchen really let down the patrons on this occasion. We ordered the Three Dip Med Bread as a starter with roasted Garlic and herb Butter, it was tasty. The Tuscan dinner was creative enough to tempt my companion who stated the Ahi Tuna was perfect. Unfortunately an over the top indulgence of smoke, blue cheese, sun dried tomato, smoked bacon and dressing completely overwhelmed the salad starter much to our disappointment . My Braised Brisket Beef Dip was served on a soft Portuguese bun along with perfectly cooked potato fries. There were unfortunately some difficulties with the brisket, it was too salty and chewy in texture, the dip was also much too salty and aged in flavour but the worst was that the kitchen had liberally covered the fries with Himalayan Salt crystals which completely ruined their flavour profile. My companion got the 1/2 Rack of Chilean baby back ribs gently covered in a sweet mango/mesquite sauce that got two thumbs up for flavour and tenderness. The roasted garlic whipped potatoes that accompanied the main were overwhelmingly salty and disappointing in their flavour. As couples occasionally do, we shared the dessert of Chocolate torte with whipped cream and topped with chocolate shavings and found it light and fluffy, delish. Overall, our meals were over seasoned and had exceedingly strong flavour profiles lacking in harmony. We were treated well by the wait staff but in this case the kitchen let us down.

As a non-local, non-family member, this restaurant is not somewhere I would go just because. However, after a wonderful dining experience with my spouse just over a week ago, and now with my mother tonight, I must say, this is a restaurant I will return to on a regular basis, for 3 reasons. First, the food is excellent. Next, the environment is picturesque, serene, and full of contented guests. Finally, and most importantly, the customer service. Right from our greeting, and our prompt seating, to the delivery of our cheque and farewell, the staff (most notably Elaina) was attentive, yet non-lingering, there was no rush, they offered fair accommodation, and there was always a smile on thier faces with quick witty remarks to keep us entertained and laughing. Elaina, specifically was very knowledgeable and helpful with menu choices, wine pairings, and overall cheerful tone. Loved it!

First time dining here and we'll be back for sure. This restaurant is a treasure! Excellent food, great service and comparable pricing. I think this was my favorite meal, ever! Reservation recommended.

Brunch menu needs just a basic breakfast like eggs, toast, sausage and or bacon. I like going their with friends an family and enjoy their food. Sometimes thou I don't want an artisan skillet and just want something basic when my friends don't.
