As I am on oxygen and there are candles on the tables, I presume we were seated in the first dining room as you enter (we were the only ones seated in there during the whole meal). Our waitress was mediocre. She obviously had tables in the other room as we hardly saw her except on her way to other tables. Felt as we were a walk by table. The food was okay. It wasn't the best and not the worst that I've had. Would I go back... probably. One recommendation, as more individuals are on oxygen nowadays, get battery operated tea light candles for the tables. This way it won't matter where customers are seated.

A five star night . They were busy beyond belief but all guests were treated fairly. No rushing. Just order, sit back and enjoy your meal. Our meals were perfect. Served bubbling hot and tasted fantastic. This was a great Valentine's date night dinner.

Always fantastic food! Personally the price isn't too bad either. Great drinks great atmosphere. All around a great place to eat.

Great place for a romantic dinner. The food has always been wonderful. I've been going here for over thirty years. This is a gem in Waterloo. Quiet, relaxing place to get great food, good wine, and excellent service.

Beautiful decor, huge servings! A bit pricey and the layers of flavors are all there, but they haven't melded. Our party of four agreed none of us would order our dish if we visited again. Can't quite out my finger on what's missing???
