    The food, service and presentation was fantastic and made for a wonderful experience. My only reservation was the dinning area felt a bit congested, and as a result, felt a bit confined and challenging to hear at times. This aspect was unfortunate to an otherwise great experience.

    It was our first visit to the restaurant. Colleagues who had gone there all said it is an amazing restaurant. The restaurant is advertised as a "Franco-American cuisine". We had expected a French style restaurant. In fact, the atmosphere is more that of an American café. The tables are basic bare metal tables, with no tablecloths. The noise level was loud but not high enough that it would interfere with conversations. We could hear each other. The prices on the menu were on par with other good restaurants in the area. We did not find the menu particularly French, but it was an interesting menu, with many choices without being overwhelming. The quality of the food was excellent. It was extremely good. A++ In fact, it was one of the best restaurants we have visited in the area. The service was excellent as well. Our waitress was wonderful, very attentive and helpful in addition to being very nice. We were pleasantly surprised by the entire experience. We will definitely revisit the place. I highly recommend it.

    First time here and I already want to come back. I booked this for valentine's day and my partner and myself had an amazing time. The food is fantastic and I finally got to try Escargots, trout and pate. The vibe is very sophisticated and makes it feel special. The drinks selection is the best with so many options and ingredients list so you know what you are getting. All in all, a great experience.

    The Valentine's Day brunch was delicious, and the menu provided a variety of options for Valentine’s Day including a generous array egg-based item. We had chicken alfredo pasta and salmon salad. The pasta was at temperature and the salmon was cooked to perfection.
