    I have never had a bad experience at Le Selecte Bistro. I was there on Boxing Day to celebrate my mother’s birthday. Tony, our server was very attentive and was knowledgeable about which dishes were or could be made gluten-free, as my mother has celiac disease. The food was great, particularly the duck confit. The large party next to us was a bit noisy - it was a busy night - but we had a wonderful time. I look forward to my next visit.

    I always like the Reign, since its first day opening. I like the regal setting, the decoration, the service and the warm and experienced faces of the servers. The food is equally good and the portions are quite big to give the customers their value. I will always go back to the Reign when friends are in town, when my children came to visit and each and every celebrations.

    Noah's vision for revitalizing this mainstay of Queen Street is a resounding success. The interior finds a niche right in the middle of cozy and classy, with thoughtfully designed walnut wood booths, 2-tops, gloriously quirky art, and a gorgeous bar. Service is always personalized and impeccable, even when they're buried in the middle of a dinner rush. The food is hearty, delicious, and has a range of prices for most budgets The menu hasn't changed a ton over the past few years, but its truly difficult to improve on a selection that can feed even the most challenging palate and stomach. The best restaurant in that area bar none, and one of the most criminally under celebrated bistros in the city.

    We had a wonderful meal here after the opera. I had the Icelandic cod and my husband had the braised lamb. Both were excellent. The Hollandaise sauce with mine was light and delicious. The accompanying vegetables with both dishes were not overdone. Even the olive bread was hot and delicious. Don’t know why this great place was not full on a Saturday night. Great value for reasonable price!
