Been going to Le Select Bistro since their location on Queen Street. One of my favorite spots for the right vibe, amazing food which remains consistently wonderful. Well priced food and drink menu and a well stocked wine cellar. What separates the restaurant from others is the staff. Say hello to the head manager, Arthur. He remembers the old way of making patrons feel like family. We had a seating issue when we arrived. Rare, but anyone can make an error. We were celebrating our daughter graduating her post university degree. Arthur went above and beyond to make the situation right and he did, with a smile on his face and a handshake. Like I said, old school. Try the French onion soup. You wont be disappointed. I promise you.
