we have been to note bene several times now, and it has been very consistent for us. the service has been attentive, but not intrusive. what impressed me the most was their care for my food allergies. they checked every selection i made with the kitchen and offered alternatives. on another visit, i made note of allergies on the online reservation service, and the staff already had it written on a piece of paper when we sat down. we also enjoyed the food every time we have been. the last time we went, we had the champagne pairing set dinner. while i couldn't have the lobster lasagne, i had their pasta special with truffles. the texture of the pasta is one of the finest i have ever had - thin with a bit of bite to it. i could also taste the freshness of all the ingredients. having said that, i could go there for just dessert and be extremely happy. my only "complaint" about the place is the decor, and i can see why people would say it has a corporate feel. it does feel very cold and somewhat dated - kind of an early 2000's conference centre feel to it. not a fan of the art on the walls. but we go there for the food and convenience since we live in the neighbourhood.
