Excellent dining experience. The steak with frites were incredibly tender & full of flavor. The wine recommended by the sommelier was a perfect match for the meal. I finished with the a café machiatto which was delicious. Great food, excellent service, & a very enjoyable atmosphere. Highly recommended.

I should've read the lowest reviews before visiting. I was recommended the Lower location, but I regret coming here because it was closer to my hotel. The food was very good, but the service was terrible.

We were seated right behind the front area where servers were constantly walking by, yet we received water later than people who arrived more than 10 minutes after us. No one came to take our order, so we asked a passing manager, but he told us our server would come-another 10 minutes wasted.

It's not just about others getting water, ordering, & receiving their food before us. If the servers are overwhelmed, the manager should step in or help coordinate, but there was none of that. The tall female server didn't even ask how the food was-she only refilled water & finally asked how everything was when it was time to pay.

I thought maybe I was just being sensitive because I was very hungry, but after reading other reviews today, I think I understand why I felt that way.

We had the Onion soup , a perfect mix of layers, melted cheese on top of a soft toast, a generous amount of onions in the perfect broth. Then we had an amazing bisque with lobster, prawns & scalops in a delicious creamy sauce. Highly recommend!

We went here at New Year's Eve! I ordered the duck but I liked the pork chop more, which my partner ordered. We ended up practically, switching food because she likes the duck more. :)) we both had IPA beers which pairs well with the food. We were with a couple of our friends & they ordered the ribs & pork chop. The ribs were delicious but I really would recommended the pork chop more. The service is also spot on. The place & the washroom are really clean & smell nice. I would definitely go back to eat here again.
