Comments: Great Food but don't expect to go in a group. They will charge a minimum of $1000 just to eat there! If you dont meet the minimum, they will add it to your bill and make your group pay in order to meet the $1000 minimum. Don't bother speaking with the General Manager, Kevin, either. He has no problem solving abilities and is extremely condascending. Would not go back there again...a group of us were kicked out of one of our tables and made to all squeeze in to another so they could accommodate another group. Dont expect to be respected in this restaurant.

Comments: First off, when booking the restaurant we were told to leave after 2 hours since they had reserved our table for another party. We were not impressed but went anyways.

The food was mediocre and our first batch of rice (sticky rice, which was supposed to be steamed white rice) was undercooked and cold. The complimentary sweet/salty fried buns were interesting, not sure how much I enjoyed them. The rest of the food was okay, just wish it had more flavour! The sangria was delicious and serves more than 5 glasses; however the refills for water were far and few between. Just like the food the wait staff was also mediocre.

The atmosphere was good. They had a nice looking patio, which we didn't use, and they did have some nice art displayed on the walls inside the building.

In terms of valet parking, don't use it! You can park for $5 cheaper at a parking station less than 700 meters away!

Comments: I went with some coworkers for Summerlicious. Their patio is amazing looking, but unfortunately we didn't get a chance to sit on it. When you walk into this restaurant from the street, you aren't quite sure what the restaurant is because it's unmarked. However, the overall atmosphere of the place is really quite nice. I love the waterfall in the bar area.

We had to wait quite a while for a server to come serve us and take our order. She said that she wasn't the server we were supposed to have but then served us for the rest of the meal anyway.

In terms of the food, I thought it was rather bland, especially the salmon with rice patties. The patties tasted like flour and water. The brownie dessert was pretty good though.
