Ambiance was nice...beautiful interior.
Our server I immediately recognized as an individual who had worked at, and been fired from two other establishments in Ancaster --- good job checking references and vetting your staff!!!
Starter was ok, and a nice aoli was included with the bread basket.
Meats were overcooked and under-seasoned. Accompanied by the most bland and uninspired steamed veg and roasted potatoes I have ever had.
I have eaten better banquet food. This meal did not at allllll merit the 24 and 26$ price of mains.
