N	Nadia Boachie on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Experience was good but not great! I wish I could give this a 3.5 or 3.75 stars because it was not quite a 3! Server was definitely a quirky character and food came out a little slow for my liking. I like my courses spaced but it was a little too spaced out considering the small portion sizes. It was pretty expensive but that is expected for the area. Oysters were particularly expensive I found. The food was good but I thought some dishes were missing a little bit of seasoning (mushroom tart). Though some other reviewers say this was their favourite dish. Liked the duck, I love rare meat and there was a delicious spiciness throughout the whole dish from the XO sauce.The patio was absolutely gorgeous, perfect for a summer evening! Desserts were good but not mind blowing. Drinks were tasty and really well made!
C	CHNC 0571 on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Our first time here and the food was amazing!!! Service was great, thank you John. Oh this is a super convenient location too, the underground parking lot is right beside the restaurant. We came here for my girlfriend’s birthday, we didn’t make reservations for today but we got a very nice table with sofa. The oyster was yummy, you must try it with the mignonette sauce…You will fall in love with it. An other thing I want to mention is the house smoked ham…. Delicious, you have to give it a try? But the mushroom chitarrra was a bit greasy, same as toasted brioche (from seared foie gras) Highly recommended!! I will definitely visit them again.
O	Orelie on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The food was excellent! I really enjoyed the braised short rib and bread rolls. The squash fritters were decent, as was the wine. I do feel that the food is a touch pricey but the experience was lovely in the dimly lit restaurant with candlelight. The one area for improvement is that we felt rushed out. I understand restaurants are busy and they need to turn over tables, but it would have added to the experience if we had time before having the bills brought over.
R	Ray Tran on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ We popped in on a Friday to give this place a try. The staff and service were amazing Shrimp cocktail - nothing special Steak tartare - I thought it was a little bland Escargots - It was really good in this mushroom and oil sauce. Quite a big portion too compare to other places which only gives you like 5 or 6 Foie Gras - very buttery and rich but wish the portion was a little bigger Flatiron steak - Cooked perfectly but nothing special Duck Confit - It was deboned in a white bean sauce was fantastic. Definitely would go back for this. Braised Short Rib - Super tender and flavorful Creme Brulee and Chocolate Tart for dessert were both great. Overall 7.5/10
T	The Luiz on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Had Sat brunch there the first time. The place is beautifully decorated, exposed bricks, vintage lighting and hand painted wall with a comfortable rustic feel. Service was excellent and our waiting staff was very friendly. Not a busy restaurant as they only offer a set menu for $39. Maybe this is why they are not busy on a Sat. Would strongly suggest they offer a small menu of a la carte. The 3 appetizers were to share amount the 3 of us and each has our own main course. I had the braised lamb on a open sandwich which was very tasty. My son and wife had the sea bream which they love. Overall it was good experience. The wine list was extensive but like everywhere nowadays they are expensive. Worth a mention is their covered patio which we would love to return to try.
K	Kiki van Duin on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ We had a beautiful dinner for a late Valentine's Day! The location is gorgeous with an easy-going upscale vibe. Great drinks, wine selection, and delicious food. Service was impeccable - thanks to Warren and Mike G!
M	Marina Vimar on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I have visited this location on two occasions and it was disappointing each time. I've sat on the patio and indoors, so the food photos are from both times. The dishes were nothing special, they were okay but nothing to rave over. The restaurant itself is really cute though and they did a lovely job with the decor and setup. Where they lost the most stars for me, is how slow the service is, we waited 45 mintues to receive a glass of wine and 95 minutes to receive our first appetizer, mind you they even forgot one of our dishes altogether...
N	Namita Chaudhary on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ We went here for our anniversary dinner. The patio has such a romantic feel to it. The staff was very courteous and very accommodating of our request to take our pictures. They offered complimentary wine to celebrate our special day. The Baby germ salad was spectacular and the duck confit was amazing. We had two desserts, one with an orange sponge cake and other was a chocolate cake with miso cream... unfortunately don't remember the names. Both were fantastic. Very highly recommended.
