The food was very good. However, pork belly is not my favorite.

Upon arriving at the restaurant, there seemed to be confusion as to who was supposed to seat us at our table. We were eventually directed to our table, which for some reason was the only one in the room without flowers on it.

Upon arriving at the restaurant, there seemed to be confusion as to who was supposed to seat us at our table. We were eventually directed to our table, which for some reason was the only one in the room without flowers on it.

Our menu was presented and we were told that they don't have an alcohol license yet, and that we can go taste en pay for our wine at the wine desk. We didn't mind this as it added to the experience. We picked the Giusti Asolo Prosecco upon recommendation from the tasting assistant. It was much sweeter than expected, even though we specifically told him we'd prefer a drier taste. The bottle also wasn't cold enough as it was a very warm day. We took the wine back to our table, whereafter we sat and waited, and waited, and waited for anyone to approach us so that we could order water and an ice bucket. Unfortunately, this soured the experience as we'd been there almost an hour already.

The food was beautifully presented, although we had to bring it to their attention that they had neglected to add the truffle shavings to the mushroom ravioli, as described on the menu. We brought this to their attention and the situation was handled very professionally. The pork belly main course was exceptional and the portion extremely generous.

This restaurant can do with a floor manager presence to oversee all the elements.

The food was wonderful, even the children's meals, I haven't seen the kids finish a meal in a restaurant in awhile. The service was top notch, made to feel at home by not only our waiter, Jonathan but but all the staff. It was great before the crowds arrived but as the restaurant started filling up it became a little noisy for my liking, but that is due to mainly the openness of the restaurant which is wonderful, so one can not have th best of both worlds. Definitely planning to come back with friends.

"Beautiful place and great deal during Restaurant Week!"

We had lunch at Idiom yesterday. The setting in a very modern building is beautiful with fantastic views. Unfortunately it was too windy to sit outside.
The lunch we had during the restaurant week was a two course lunch with two extra small vorses, a very nice touch. We really enjoyed the food, the service was top class and the wine was also very good. We will certainly go back there.
