The minestrone was one of the best soups I have ever had. I ate the whole bowl which I rarely do for a starter. The croque Madame was good but hard to eat because of the eggs on top of it. The salad was nice. The Don Valley Violette had grapefruit in it but it was not overwhelming. It was refreshing. Overall, it was very good meal.

Tasty food, service was ok - pleasant enough. Busy during lunch good we had reservations though there might not be a long wait since they have lots of tables. Noisy, hard to hear ourselves.
