I came here on a Sunday evening to treat myself to a nice meal while visiting the city, & left impressed not only by the food but the service as well. I ordered the steak'table d'hôte' which included a soup, salad & dessert. The soup of the day was a cream of vegetable, it had a very rich taste & velvety texture. Then came their green salad with walnuts. The lettuce leaves were so fresh & buttery, & the walnuts were firm & fresh tasting. The dressing complemented it perfectly. However, the clear star of the show was the steak. It was juicy & perfectly seasoned, & the sauce was the perfect accompaniment for the steak & fries as it brought everything together. To finish off my meal, I upgraded my dessert to a crème brûlée (it's my favorite dessert - I just couldn't resist) & it was divine. I heard that perfect'crack' when I hit the top of the dessert with the back of my spoon. It was exactly what I expected it to be. The young man who was serving me was extremely polite & kind & gladly accomodated my requests.
To summarize, for the price you will get a high quality meal in a nice setting paired with attentive service.
Highly recommended.

The staff's service & the atmosphere of the restaurant were very good.

However, the 5-ounce steak, which I was really looking forward to as the main dish, took a very long time to be served. When it finally arrived, the steak was extremely tough, lacked flavor, & had a burnt taste. I was very disappointed. I honestly don't understand how such a tough steak can be served, & I think this should be reconsidered. I can't comment on the other dishes, but I do not recommend the steak.

Ate here on a very snowy night after Christmas. The restaurant was warm & accomodating, & the staff were very pleasant. We enjoyed a very relaxed meal of steak frites with a very savoury sauce, & shared a delicious slice of Sugar Pie.

The meal was very good value & the portions were excellent quality & very hearty. Highly recommended!

We loved everything here - the food, the service, & the atmosphere! We're from France but have been living in Toronto for 3 years, & this place reminded us of home. Highly recommended!

Reserved our table well in advance (>1 week). Attentive service & quality food at a reasonable price around the middle of the Old City. Ordered their Table D'Hôte du Soir & the steak frites were an obvious highlight. The accompanying salad tasted very fresh, while the soup was also decent. Good experience overall. Would recommend!
