We had - salad - supposed to be romaine and mixed greens. 1 star. Literally looks like it came out of a Costco mixed green box with just dressing and nothing else. $9 worth about $1 - escargot the worst I have ever had. No flavor and out of the shell. Skip it. 1 star - foie gras at least met my expectations - duck confit - $36 for a small leg and wow overprices. 3 stars. Service was very amateur. Not worth the price. Skip it.

Server was nice even though at some point he was just standing there and we were waiting for him to come back to order dessert to the point where u actually had to call him but this was nothing truly. Lamb with sweet garlic sauce Filet mignon with five peppercorn and cognac sauce Key lime pie The meat was great, truly. The sauces? a total disgrace / turn off considering the price of each plate. Sweet garlic, had nothing I could say I feel the garlic in at all. Flavorless. Five pepercorn with cognac non existent ! The only time i taste the peppercorn was if I BIT the actual peppercorn. The dessert ? I ate 2 bites and left the entire thing. The "crust" was nowhere to be found it was watered down carton... and the lime layer felt like I was biting into fake jelly. I have nothing else to say but you can decide how you spend your money. The "fancy" restaurant leaves a lot to desire.

I loved this. Never saw another restaurant plop down mustard and pickles. The mustard was also possibly the most delicious mustard I've ever had. Very spicy and slightly salty - Duck confit on beans $37. Tasty, crispy, rich. - Grilled octopus on pepper sauce with potatos $24. Really tender and flavourful. The sauce was bright and acidic - Sorrel soup $13.75. First time having sorrel. It has a slightly sour taste. The soup was creamy and tangy. I'm glad we tried it - Quail with quail eggs on purple rice $37.50. Quail itself wasn't as flavourful but the sauce was amazing and soaked into the rice - Creme brulee $15. Flavour was impeccable. Had a slight grainy texture which was odd but this is just nit picking. Comes with a warm cookie Everything was good. I'm being more nitpicky here than usual, mostly to go back to these notes again in the future. I loved the meal and would definitely go back. Service is very friendly. Food came out super fast. The restaurant is bright and lively. Tables are quite cramped together but it makes sense as they quickly filled up for the evening. Thanks, we'll definitely be back!

Luckily, others in our group arrived earlier since they live closer so we had a table. However, I would definitely recommend making a reservation or arrive MUCH earlier/prepare to wait for a seat. There's a "busy" vibe inside but it's more like a bustling, happy, welcoming, and great overall addition to the environment. With how packed it was, it understandably took a while to be tended to but they did the best they can and were extremely polite. We were seated at a table in the middle area of the restaurant between the booths and surrounded by other tables/next to the bar area. It can feel like a tight squeeze at times but there was adequate space to dine without feeling suffocated or bumping elbows with other diners. I just don't know how the servers do it! I give the entire staff a large kudos for juggling so many plates in such little space. There are 2-3 individual washrooms, so if it's packed there may be a bit of a wait but they're kept clean and are quite nice nonetheless. The portions are quite large and are great for the price considering how delicious everything is. The banana, strawberry and Nutella crepe is so good and their assortment of fruit is quite nice! Dragon fruit, oranges, cantaloupe, melon.... They don't skimp! I got scrambled eggs for my egg side and they were really tasty. Overall, I really enjoyed dining here. I can completely understand why it can get so busy. (It also calmed down as we were leaving after the brunch rush). I would definitely come back.
