Had anniversary dinner here. Made reservations and indicated anniversary...20th!! Would have been nice for a free dessert...not a big deal and doesn't influence by rating...just a bit disappointing is all. Should likely not have mentioned it.Anyhow, neat atmosphere but the place was freezing...why pump ice cold air conditioning if it is cool outside...everyone wearing sweaters...lucky us we got a seat right by an air vent...were given a piece of cloth to put on top of it.Food - it is good but not great. Not for the prices and not for the fine dining hype. My meal looked like a big pile of mush...brown mush on top of orange brown mush. I had the braised beef short ribs - the brown mush, spooned on top of I think it was mashed sweet potato (sorry it was a few weeks ago)..the orange mush. Texture and appearance was not appealing at all. A good chef would NOT have this pairing or presentation. As I said, good but not great, not for the hype and prices of the restaurant. I had the Beef dumplings as an appetizer...I tasted sesame oil for 3 days...not joking....at the price of a meal at an average restaurant...total disappointment.Over-priced wine and drinks...smallest Ceasar drink I have ever been served but the price of a full sized cocktail. And it was not great at all...again, okay but not great.Service - Fair. And time to even get an order in was ridiculous...and they were not busy...middle of the week. Was promised bread...I had seen it at counter and it looked good...it didn't come didn't come....the waiter never brought it, and had to ask a different server...it was brought out 20 minutes after we ordered drinks and 2 minutes before they brought out the meal. Again, for a fine dining type of restaurant it was fair service at best...the owners should visit El Bucco or Painters Hall in Barrie to learn what they should expect from their servers...it would be like minor hockey kids watching an NHL game...except the minor hockey players want pretty much the same ticket price as the NHL game.The food, the service would all be acceptable if the prices were 2/3 of what they are...as such, this is really poor value and thus a 3 star rating from me... I don't see that changing so we will NEVER EVER go back.BTW, and this is not intended to be hurtful, the access is REALLY poor here...parking is not right out front but down some steps, across a path - it is actually nice, but then down fairly steep stairs into the restaurant from the top where you go into the building. If you have mobility issues, not the place...unless I am wrong and there is an elevator or something but I helped a man help is elderly mother navigate the stairs...I know neither of my parents could have. If you have mobility issues, please call to see if there is another way or else stay away. Also note, the washrooms are at the top of the stairs so if you or your loved ones are likely to need washrooms during a dining experience, it is back up the stairs, then back down again. Just being honest, not negative. Not an issue for my party at all but the elderly woman was really struggling.
