Pros: customer handling and service, food quality and presentation
Cons: rather pricey

This riverside establishment treats its customers as if they were royalty. The customer is welcomed at the door, escorted to a vestiary, helped to remove exterior clothing and then seated at a waiting table. Once seated, a waitor explains how the meat or seafood is prepared while displaying a tray replete with raw, high quality beef and seafood. The sommelier then appears with a wine list and his personal recommendations to accompany the meal. Soft music plays in the background. Customers are asked if the room temperature suits them. Hot, fresh bread wrapped in crisp linens and basketed is placed on the table. The fries, also wrapped in crisp linens and basketed, arrive. Then the filet mignon, expertly grilled to customer specifications, is brought in. The plating of the meat, accompanying grilled vegetables and sauces appears artful and smells wonderful. Never is the customer hurried in any way. As such, the full flavours of the meal and wine are at their epitome.
