THE NOMNOMGRAM!

• The Quality of the food ... Let's just say it's not my favourite place to eat. I don't know if its because I went there for lunch but I had a good expectation for this place because its really popular and because of the prices as well, I was expecting to be somewhat decent. I have hear feedbacks before I went and there were people who really really loved it and then there were people saying that it wasn't that great... So I don't know if it's the lack of consistency or what... I ordered mainly the popular "signature" dishes because that's always safe! And it was honestly disappointing... It wasn't flat out busy when I went but.. might have to drag myself back there to try the food again just in case the chef was having a crappy day and the food wasn't up to standards that day!

• The Customer Service here is pretty good... our waitress was giving us attitude from time to time but it's alright.. The people working there are generally really nice, so it was all goood!

• The Pricing here is quite pricey... You're looking at an average of $26 or so per main dish? For the pasta's, you have the option of getting entrée sized or main sized dishes so the prices will vary. When I went with my bestie, we got 2 mains, 2 sides, 2 soft drinks and 1 order of bread and it costed us about $80? $80 for lunch is quite expensive haha.

• The Quantity of the servings here are quite decent. Considering the price that you pay for the food, it's pretty goood. You definitely will feel full and stuffed afterwards which is the main point of eating right?!

**Side notes:

As I have mentioned before, the feedback 

here is really inconsistent and people either 

loved it or hated it so... if you do go, don't 

have an expectation for it and see how it 

you like it! The interior design is really well 

designed and has a rustic type of feel and 

they have lots of seating with an upstairs and 

downstairs seating arrangements. It also has a 

very romantic, dim lights type of setting 

which is really nice and calming. They don't 

always have seating available so when we got 

there we had to wait for about 20 minutes for 

a table? 

That's all from me for now =) 

Hope you have a GREAT day and don't forget to smile! =D
