The food here is just incredible. The horse steak is so tender and juicy, and is not gamy at all. My girlfriend ordered the Bouillabaisse and it was equally delicious! We also had the crème brûlée and the lemon tart for dessert and they were so good, you can’t find them anywhere else. Highly suggest this place!

This establishment offers a very cozy and welcoming atmosphere, complemented by exceptional service. The staff truly goes above and beyond, with David standing out in particular. He was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and professional throughout the entire experience. It’s clear that David is passionate about his role, and his dedication shines through in the care and attention he provides to guests. His expertise and genuine enthusiasm add a special touch that makes the visit even more enjoyable. Highly recommended.

Was able to make a reservation here by calling the restaurant like it says on their website, which was a pretty straightforward process. Came on a Saturday night and it was quite busy.

Their dining room is pretty crowded and the tables are way too close to each other that you can barely pass through if you were sitting on the inside. I don’t typically like to check in my coat, but I wouldn’t have been able to physically pass through the small gap between the tables if I had it with me. Definitely in terms of being able to have personal or private conversations, the people to either side of you would be able to ‘overhear’ your conversation. The volume level was also quite loud because of all of the people in the space so definitely have to raise your voice a bit.

My biggest issue with the food isn’t so much the taste or quality, but the pricing and how much you’re getting in terms of portion sizes and ingredients. The bill came as a surprise in the end and definitely felt like a disconnect to what we got. The food was fine, but I can’t say that I had anything extraordinary compared to other French restaurants in the city.

On value alone, I can’t recommend this place for what we received.

Great date night spot. Attentive service, good selection of wine, open kitchen but not loud. The food was delightful and we left feeling satisfied. The highlight would be the amazing service received from the wine recommendations, food specials, and friendly ambiance. Will definitely be revisiting.

The dishes were tasty - the pâté was flavorful, and the mushrooms were well-seasoned. But the portions felt small for the price ($115 per person).

I believe there are other French restaurants offering a similar ambiance and quality at a reasonable cost.
