Recently had the pleasure of trying this place out. The staff was very polite and welcoming. The restaurant itself looked great with an open concept kitchen. The dining area provides a nice view of downtown Markham. I was able to try the tasting menu where we were able to try different courses. The host and servers were very knowledgeable of each dish and asked us how the food was. One thing to keep in mind is that this is a French inspired bistro where some of their meals may have a fusion twist to them. From the tasting menu one of my favorite dishes was the glazed black cod with spinach risotto. The fish was incredibly tender and had a bit of sweetness to it. The Risotto was combined with spinach and topped with bonito flakes which I thought was an interesting take on risotto. I felt like the fish went really well with the risotto and I highly recommend the glazed black cod if it's your first time at this restaurant. Overall this was the only dish that really stood out to me. I felt like the flavors of the other dishes did not really appeal to me as much and that there was a bit too much sweetness throughout the main courses. Overall since the restaurant is still relatively new I would be interested to see what kind of changes or improvements that they'll make in the future. read more

Service: 10/10 Food: 9/10 would give it a 10/10 if the alcohol cocktails were stronger...the old fashion I ordered was VERY weak and flavourless Quality of food: 10/10 MUST TRIES: bone marrow with escargot and the lamb chop! Would definitely come again when lockdown is over read more

Very disappointed!! We came here because of our friend's recommendation. But after this time, we won't be back again... Horrible customer service!! Is not just bad, is horrible!! The only waitress that night was a yonge girl with blonde hair, and has tattoos on both sides of her feet.(because she was wearing open toed shoes, so everyone can see her tattoos. She was very rude to our table and not polite at all. Never ask" did u guys finish" or "can I take your plates" before she took our plates. She just walk through our table and randomly took everybody's plates.....with her shit face...really can't believe it...!!! have she ever been trained before she works?? No smiles at all....very unfriendly, this already making us feel very uncomfortable. After we finished the main course, there was one moment we saw she was holding 3 plates coming out from the kitchen, and looking at our table with her shit face again, but this time with her mouth moving saying "F" word to us..... but we were sitting near the front door, so we can't really hear what she says, but my friend said he knows that waitress was saying "fuck". And keep looking to our table.. what kind of restaurant would hire this kind of staff? Unbelievable and disappointed. Don't be fooled to come here, a restaurant with this kind of customer service, you won't feel comfortable eating here. There are so many nice French restaurants with very high quality service and nicer food. read more

Great service! Thanks to the server who made our bday night special. I'd call this French with Asian flare. I'm not typically into fusion but this was subtle. Great tasting menu value! read more

It was fairly easy to get a reservation here for 2 on Friday night. We had an extra friend join us last minute and they were able to accommodate on the spot which was great. Atmosphere: We were seated downstairs next to the kitchen area where the bar stools are. The design of the restaurant is beautiful however I do find it to be noisy and difficult to talk as sound seemed to stay within the dining area combined with the sounds from the kitchen. The view of the carousel and the small 'pool' was nice though. It's not downtown Toronto lake view but definitely still a good one. Service: The servers and host were friendly and very attentive. They were knowledgeable about their menu and seemed to really take pride in the products of their restaurant. Beverages: Unfortunately they don't have their liquor license yet so that was definitely a downside for me on a Friday night after a long weekend of work. Plus some of the dishes would've really went well with some wine! Food: We ordered 3 starters and 3 mains for each of us and shared. Foie Gras Mousse with Pistachio, Hawthorne Cherry Compote, Brioche - For me this was underwhelming. It tasted pretty good but there is nothing amazing about it that I would order again. Tune & Salmon Ceviche, Yuzu, Ginger, Crispy Barley and Toast - I actually really enjoyed this dish. There's a layer of avocado at the bottom, then salmon on top and thick strips of tuna on top of that. I'm use to ceviche being a bit more tangy with the lime but this was a refreshing dish. Beef Tartare - This was my least favourite starter. There was a lack of taste. Duck Confit - Duck was great. Tender and full of flavour. Especially enjoyed the beer foam. Black Cod - absolutely enjoyed this dish. The risotto was green and looks a bit like slime but it's delicious and looks different from what you'd ever eat. The cod was so perfectly cooked. Salmon - I'm a stickler for perfectly cooked salmon and this was really perfectly cooked. The sautéed chick peas and veggies was lack a little bit of flavour. The salmon tasted just as a salmon would so I would hope the vegetables would've had a little more kick to it. Overall it was an enjoyable dining experience but I can't say I would again. read more

It's a pretty nice spot for a fancy dinner in downtown Markham. Comfortable dining space. Appetizers were share plates. Had deep fried calemari and a tuna tartare. Both were pretty good. Steak frites unfortunately was not the best cut of meat in my opinion. BUT, it was cooked exceptionally well. Black cod was phenomenal. Probably the best thing I had that night. The risotto with it as also delicious. Dessert was also a share plate. Not a fan of a shared dessert style personally but I guess it gives you more choices to try. Overall I have to say the chef did a pretty good job here. Maybe priced just a tad higher than what I thought it should be. I would come again. read more

The most amazing food ever. The service was amazing, the music was great, and the portions for the price were very decent for the quality. We had the fois gras poutine with ox tail jus (which they cook for 3 days!), the duck entree, the miso infused black cod, and for dessert the passion fruit sorbet and he liquid nitrogen black sesame ice cream chocolate lava cake. We wanted to lick the plates clean. Everything was delicious! Such an amazing restaurant! Highly recommend! read more

We visited on a busy Friday with my wife and a friend. The decor of the restaurant is modern. We liked the open kitchen concept from where we sat on the main floor. The service was professional and courteous. The carrot and beet salad was extremely good and fresh and reflects their farm to table philosophy. The calarmari was also nice with a generous portion. For my own liking, it was slightly salty and the batter a bit too thick. The miso cod dish was nice with a very good taste to the fish. However, the portion size is of the dish in general is towards the smaller size so if you are very hungry this won't fill you up. My friend ordered the salmon dish which she really enjoyed and it was a generous portion. Sitting beside the windows is a bit cold but I'm not sure what can be done about that. Overall, we had a pleasant experience and look forward to trying other dishes and hopefully the menu will be seasonal. read more

I felt like the meal I had was good, but not great. I stopped in on a Sunday night to grab a bite that wasn't in my hotel, and oped for the prix fixe menu, which I thought sounded reasonable for $60. I ordered the kale caesar salad, the lobster taco, and the miso black cod (since I love that preparation). Salad first - this was good. I liked the hearty kale, dressing was excellent, and the nice lean piece of pork belly on top was a nice touch. Just well done. In retrospect, I think this was actually the best thing I had. The lobster tacos were next, and they weren't bad by any means, but they just kind of were. I think I tasted more of the wonton taco shell, or the corn sprinkled on top, than I did the lobster. So I wanted more flavor here. And if I'm honest, that carried through in to the cod. It was a nice piece of fish, with nice sweet miso flavor in the glaze, but not a lot of actual fish flavor. Texture on the spinach risotto it was served on top of was quite nice, but not strongly flavored...the pea shoots garnish on top again might have been the most strongly flavored thing on the plate. Finally, the dessert of the day was a panna cotta that was kind of barely there as well, I literally can't even tell you what flavor it was - although it was a lighter, more refreshing dessert than I might have otherwise ordered. Service was good, pacing was good, everything about the restaurant was fine, but I just wasn't wowed by many of the flavors. And maybe it's just what I ordered (although it was limited by the prix fixe choices) but it didn't seem very French. I think I would go elsewhere next time. read more

This a really great place for weekend nights or some special occasions. Great food, nice service, modern atmosphere, reasonable prices. I have been there several times in the past 2 months. I have to say that, this is the best restaurant for western food near Markham area, and also the only place with the open kitchen concept. The dining atmosphere is really comfortable. But if you are looking for somewhere with more privacy, you could go upstairs. The second floor was decorated with orange lights, reddish brown rocks, and it is quite and darker than the first floor. I almost tried all the items on the menu, and I really like its tasting menu idea. For the first-time customers, the tasting menu is a great choice that you can try most of the items on the menu with an adjusted portion. Salmon with Seared Foie Gras was my favorite dish before tonight. The salmon skin is so crispy, while the flesh is very tender. The seared foie gras served with crunchy baguette tastes so delicious. You could feel the protein and fat melt in your tongue. However, the healthy salmon reduces the guilty that the foie gras brought. This evening, the manager Heuy(?) recommended the lobster soup and the wagyu steak, which are seasonal special right now. I noticed that there was some spice in the soup, but I didn't feel so spicy. The lobster was fresh and sweet. I hope that the bread cubes could be placed on the side, so I could still enjoy their crunchiness. At first, I didn't have a high expectation of wagyu in a western restaurant, because I prefer Japanese style more. But the wagyu steak tasted wonderful that I wished it could be a regular item. Although the ribeye is tasty as well, the wagyu steak tasted different and more delicious. And this dish becomes my new favorite. I always order a mascarpone cheesecake for dessert. It's creamy and thick. It usually brings the happy ending of my dinner. The servers are nice, and they always patiently explain the menu and specials to me. I will recommend this place to my friends, and come back again. The parking lot of this restaurant is small. But it is ok for me, because there are several other parking spaces nearby. read more

Can't say much yet. They don't have a liquor license. They do have great staff. Menu needs work but what I did have was great.

So, I'm not sure about the whole "french Bistro" because this place doesn't strick me as a french restaurant. Although I read somewhere they were going for the Asian inspire/french restaurant. Ok, so the food. I love the food! I came here for lunch with my husband and the service was fantastic, the place wasn't packed, but we came here during the first week of opening. He ordered the burger and I ordered the sandwich and truffle fries. Everything was delicious!!! I loveeeee the truffle fries it was sooooooo good. The taste of the truffle was heaven! My husband had the burger, it was good, it was super juicy and I had the sandwich with avocado.. yum! It also came with a side salad. It is on the pricier side, but not too bad since I did really enjoy the food. The decor was really pretty too! Overall, I would come back and try out their dinner menu. read more

Visited on Friday night for a casual holiday dinner with a group of 9. Always wanted to try this place, given I live in the new building right across from the resto and my bedroom overlooks this place! It was a busy night for them, they sat us right in front of the main door albeit cold airs coming through the door which was disappointing. The first waiter also had a condescending attitude - none of us were a fan. Luckily, further into the night, a sweet lady took over to serve us and she was much more pleasant! She's worth the 18% grat. The GM and lady at the reception were both friendly, I could recognize them from the website. The decor and ambience is spot on, love the vertical garden and def a place to be seen/instagrammed. Most of us had the prix fix for 2 and thought it was a good deal. The oysters are fresh (though they did not have cocktail sauce when I asked, which is a quite surprising), the beet salad was good, all dishes have a thoughtful and welcoming presentation. The truffle pizza was delicious - a thin crust combined with cheese and mushroom flavors - if you're into that, no doubt will be impressed. The duck leg was fairly tender, had a nice Thai sweet sauce to it. The black cod was delicious - mine was cooked to the perfect texture and flavors. The green risotto on the side didn't actually go well with the cod... how about a regular risotto with fried shallots? Yummy desserts esp. the lava cake! Personally a fan of black sesame ice cream so it's an obvious winner. Didn't like the nitrogen texture tho so that wasn't necessary. Overall, ambience 5/5, service 3.5/5, food 4/5. Terre Rouge is an ambitious take from the team, and though it is working at the moment, there's a lot left to be improved. Definitely a great addition to the Downtown Markham scene. read more

Horrible experience!! First of all, I ordered the miso black cod from the prix fix menu and was told they were out of miso Cod so we substituted for lobster. And what do you know, 15min later the table beside ours (they had more people) had the miso black cod. Since we already that's fine but then the mussels from the lobster had a foul smell and a sour taste. I can't believe this happened, extremely disappointed after hearing good things about this restaurant. read more

Terre Rouge - French Near Me - Markham, Ontario

Service is a joke. I'm a food vlogger and I've ordered pasta in many places so I thought I'd give terre rouge a try since I was nearby. I was already at the parking lot and ordered pick up via Ubereats and drove home which is only 3 mins away, the pasta and meatballs arrived extremely dry and cold... not hot, not even lukewarm... called the restaurant and they said it's my fault for ordering from driver (but I picked up myself lol) and that I should put in the microwave .... I've ordered takeout pasta in many places and even they are further from my home but the food is always hot or at least warm. I was shocked when the only response I got from a high end restaurant is to put in the microwave, even pasta from Jollibee or Cafe N One are hotter and services are better. Food is only a small issue but this is the worst response I've ever received. I heated up the pasta in the pan, hopefully I don't get stomachache tonight. read more

This restaurant is something special, their food taste like they overstocked before Covid and are trying to sell you the scraps which have been left in the back of the freezer for a whole year. You also get baited by their BOGO promo but it's not even worth the price after BOGO. (I ordered their spaghetti and ikea meatballs and their 5 inch truffle pizza) read more

BF and I came here for a date night. Upon arrival, we sat upstairs on their patio (very tight space). Restaurant was not busy but somehow we were forgotten. We sat there for about 10 minutes, debating to leave until the manager realized we had not been served and apologized. We were provided with bread to start. The portion was small (four tiny, tiny slices), so I asked our server for another basket. The table directly right next to us had a basket of bread sitting on the table for a while. The waitress took their basket and then placed it onto our table saying "you could have theirs". I was at a loss of words. I don't know if they've touch it. A restaurant, let alone one attempting to be upscale, should not be doing this. We asked the waitress for fresh bread btw. The food was decent but average. The escargot was not hot when brought out. We had the cod and duck for mains. Boyfriend asked an individual (not the main server, I think she was a runner) for a beer (as seen on their drink menu). She came back and said they didn't have it. 15 minutes later, the server came back and brought the beer. I think they're just a little disorganized. Wished I had just left when they forgotten about us during those first 10 minutes and go somewhere else across the street. Won't be back again. read more

This is my second time here. The first time was in 2018 for a company party and ever since 2018, I've been thinking about the duck leg salad. This time I didn't get it as it wasn't on the menu however I did get their duck breast as part of their Prix Fixe menu and boy did it not disappoint. I loved every dish of mine and was also given a complementary birthday dessert. My friend had the seafood pasta and there were big chunks of scallop and shrimp. The service was great and the owner or manager even came over to joke with us. I can't wait to come back. read more

Service was good however this French restaurant has an identity crisis. Main dishes are primarily seafood but seafood is not close to calibre of a seafood restaurant e.g. chewy lobster. Charcuterie is not working with traditional meats but rather just different salamis. A couple of our choices were over cooked and another just tasted horrible. Save your money and choose a better menu elsewhere. read more

Taste is good. Portion is not big but Mussels are good for sharing! I tried the bone marrow escargot, it's favourable but not easy to eat it with perfect manner. For the service, it always have room to improve, as one of the server keep asking/comments "can you finish all the food?", should I order less food next time? read more

Terra Rouge seems like they're definitely trying to go for a more upscale vibe which is great but unfortunately, very little about the restaurant actually matches the vibe. Had to ask for water for the table after waiting over 20 mins. Staff never asked how the food was and did not take the initiative to ask our table if we wanted more drinks, water or even how the food was tasting. Probably some of the worst service I've had at a restaurant. The Decor is good bit a little cramped, not great but also not a big deal. Food was mediocre, do not get the bone marrow as they're very thin, not much marrow on them. I had mentioned that the bone marrow was a little lacking and the server responded by saying "I don't know, you'll have to talk to the chef". The main, cod, was quite good. Highly unlikely I'll visit again, you can get good food with good service at a lot of other places in Markham/Toronto. read more

Tried making a reservation for a large party but dealing with the restaurant and their restrictions were a big turn off. The manager wanted a deposit and a set menu. Ok, a deposit was understandable but a set menu? That's just saying their kitchen and wait staff can't handle, say party of 25+, plus their regular diners. Shame, I will be taking my 25+ elsewhere that doesn't require a set menu or a deposit. read more

I don't usually leave reviews, but I think it's important that people understand what they are about to pay to subject themselves to. Sure, it's new and it's cute because it's behind a carousel. But the food was awful. Either too greasey or absolutely tasteless. When I saw the steak, cut into it, and tried to taste it I was shocked--it was chewy and tasteless. I have had steaks (of various price ranges) that taste much better than this one. Our server was polite. The manager was walking around a lot, and was quite frankly constantly disrupting our dinner and making rude comments. I've worked in a restaurant before, and I understand why managers walk around. This one was different. He walked around like an arrogant, judgemental shark. My sweet, friendly mom was too polite to say anything and now I'm confident the next time my mom sees him outside the restaurant, he will definitely treat her poorly because my sister and I came on here to leave our honest reviews. To clarify, classifying someone as a "regular" customer doesn't give you the right to call them "difficult", or constantly make comments about her adding salt to your substandard food. Your response (saying your manager acted that way because he was treating my mom like "family") was nothing but an unprofessional attempt at masking the fact that you have a rude, counterproductive manager. Try to remember that you are a restaurant that, at the very least, should be aiming towards providing quality food and service. Hold onto your defensive responses and focus that energy on improving your business. You weren't there watching my mom uncomfortably eat her food and take in his unsolicited comments. We also sat beside some belligerent individuals (talking loudly into their speaker phone for a long time) that the manager saw and didn't do anything to MANAGE the situation, which really added to the awful atmosphere. Last but not least, I also got incredibly sick right after and even into the morning after eating here. If you are looking to overpay for tasteless food, to be treated unprofessionally during and after your dinner, and to go home with a stomach ache, give this place a go. I cannot remember being so disappointed by a restaurant before. I feel nothing but regret for choosing to bring my mom here to celebrate mother's day. We will not be going back, and you shouldn't try it either. read more

The environment is fine, however the food is lower quality than my expectation. The food overall is pretty oily and bit in a heavy side. I order the black cod, the black cod itself is good but the side was burnt...emmm the green color source rice was greasy，not interested in it at all. My bf ordered the mussel and lobster. There is only half lobster at the top of small size mussel...I think it is absolutely overprice. The bone marrow and escargot is ok with the bread but taste oily if you eat it without the bread. Do not recommend this place, I am really disappointed and sad so that I even do not have the mood to order the dessert. read more

A few of us had been talking about trying this restaurant since it first opened. Disappointed to say that it wasn't what we expected! We were greeted at the door and escorted upstairs. Restaurant was packed on a weekday, which for them, I suppose is a good thing. Not sure if it was what we ordered that was a mistake but all 4 of us were disappointed! Two of us ordered the salmon which was served on a bed of chickpeas, soya beans and cabbage. The salmon was fine however the beans sat in a broth which was VERY lemony and tart which was not very pleasing to the palette. Another ordered the chicken which was just ok...nothing mind blowing. But the worst was the $28 signature plate which was the steak frite which was dry and tough! Fries were fine but then how can you mess those up? When we asked the maître d' what the cut of meat was he said Pave, which sounded like it should be some expensive cut of meat but in essence, when I looked it up it's basically rump steak! The toughest and cheapest cut of meat you can buy! They had no issue taking it back and she re-ordered the cod which was pretty good. On a good note, we had the charcuterie platter to start, which was quite tasty, however, they gave us 2 of the tiniest pickles which were half the size of my pinky. Would it have killed their budget to throw in a couple more? After returning the food, the waiter only came back once to give us bill and the maître d' didn't even bother to apologize for the meal. Would we return or refer this to someone else? Absolutely not! read more

Ambience was nice and service was quick but because the portions were tiny and it was very overpriced we won't be back. read more

Terre Rouge - Black cod with risotto , looks pretty but tiny portion for a main. - French Near Me - Markham, Ontario

1 Star because of their service! Food was decent but nothing spectacular given the price point and with the bad service to start off the night, it's hard to redeem yourself when food isn't top-notch. Came here on Dec 1 (Friday night) as a group of 4 + a toddler and baby. My friend called to reserve a table a week early and specifically mentioned that there will be a toddler and baby joining. No one bothered informing us that they did not have high chairs. I arrived early that night and was greeted by the hostess. I requested for a high chair and at that moment she replied "We don't have any.Don't you have yours?" Ok... so if I did have one I wouldn't ask...so I said no and that no one mentioned this to us when we made our reservations. She didn't bother apologizing or explaining, she just rolled her eyes at me and brought us to our table. I also loved how she seated us upstairs when a) I'm 9 months pregnant with a 2yr old toddler and b) another mom is coming in with a baby in car seat. And yes, we had to haul ourselves up those steep stairs. Oh and don't expect them to have a kids menu either. This place is not baby or kid friendly at all. So don't come here if you have kids. I feel that their service is not attentive enough as the waiter asked me to look over the wine/cocktail list while waiting for other guests to arrive. Umm...hello?!? I could barely squeeze in between your tables with my baby bump. Also when I request for a non alcoholic drink list he seemed very unwillingly to go downstairs to get it. The waiter also kept asking us if we were finish with the calamari and when we were down to the last one, he suggested someone to take the last piece so he can take away the plate. Seriously?!? For a second I thought I was eating at a Chinese restaurant!!! Anyways, like other reviews have said, 3 out of the 4 of us ordered the cod and thought the cod was good but too sweet. I personally thought the risotto didn't match the cod at all, it was like eating two separate dish instead of one. Desserts and free WiFi were probably the highlight of the night. conclusion: with the high price, mediocre food and poor service, I would not come back here again nor would I recommend it to anyone. read more

Please DO NOT put this restaurant as French bistro. I confirmed with the chef that this is NOT a French bistro but a "restaurant using French technique and Asian inspired". This restaurant is at most a fusion restaurant and stop insulting French bistro. We went during their soft opening and the food was a disaster. We ordered bone marrow as appetizer to share and steak fries as well as duck confit for main course. Bone marrow: the dish is lukewarm with no seasoning. We couldn't finished it because it's still bloody inside. Perfect as Halloween decorations but not too impressive to swallow it. Steak fries: my hubby asked for medium rare and it came as medium well because the sauce on top of the steak keeps cooking the meat. The sauce is sweet and it tasted exactly the same as duck confit which I found very turn off. Duck confit: the duck confit is tender but it's way over cook. There is a coat of sauce cover the duck leg which made it tasted like Asian braised duck. Again, the sauce is too sweet or it's what the chef claimed as Asian inspired. We didn't even bother asking for dessert menu because I couldn't take anymore disappointment at that time. It was truly a highly anticipated restaurant in downtown Markham but it fell short. At the end of the day, a restaurant is to serve food. Looking nice on a plate only get you so far. read more

Did not even know this restaurant existed until the boyfriend brought me here - and now I can't wait till the next time I'm back! Really don't understand why they don't have a higher rating.. We ordered the 4-course prix fixe ($60 - SAY WHAT?!) which far exceeded our expectations. You'd have a really hard time finding a prix fixe menu that includes foie gras and black cod for this price, let alone a 4-courser. Every dish was pretty solid; large portion sizes - especially the entrées. There were some very small things that could use slight improvement, but for what we paid, I'm not even going to bother nitpicking at minor details. Flavour profiles were good and all the dishes had at least one memorable creative element. Play on textures, temperatures, and flavours made every part of the meal an enjoyable experience. Also, nice subtle Asian flair - basically fusion done right. We dined on a Monday night, so it wasn't as busy. The chef actually came to chat with us and check in on our dining experience. He really made us feel special as first-time guests! The space is super cool and there's also a bar/lounge dining room area upstairs with a patio. Would be very awesome to host an event there. This place definitely beats out a lot of the modern cuisine / fine dining places I've been to in Markham. They also do a lot of cool gastro lab stuff. We got a brûléd foie gras dish that came with smoked snow (someone explain these words to me again). There is SO much potential here and I'm keeping my fingers crossed that this restaurant will continue to improve and succeed! I'm coming back and bringing friends and family for sure. Definitely check them out in downtown Markham by the carousel! read more

On Victoria Day, I thought to myself, time for my diet to take a holiday... wait, it was always on holiday. So here I am again chilling with pretty lady, and pretty me. We order the tasting menu, my friend said she just had it last month... but surprisingly they do change the content of tasting menu, it was different than what she had a month ago! This is what other restaurants are lacking, creativity and reinvention. And yea, we also get the full pairing along with it. They are pretty big glass, no kidding. The octopus ink fried oyster was especially well thought, crunchy and savory. The grape and scallop was really light, the grape was slightly too sweet. Then there's the famous foie gras... so Good and savory, this is where I was suppose to turn towards my date and tell her, you are too fat, let me help you, earning a slap on my face, with her possibly storm out and me finishing her plate too. But she saw right through me. Escargot puff pastry was interesting... never try escargot this way before. Then there's this plate of cabbage roll deception... it's actually a spin on the traditional Chinese cooking of cod. It's like going French French French and boom Chinese cooking then French again. Nice surprise. The motten lava cake was nice. The place is a cozy place with bar on second floor, parking was at the back with lots of space. I will certainly come back and try another course of tasting menus. read more

Where to start. I would suggest, scroll down and read the "not recommend reviews" yelp has accidentally filtered out on this restaurant. They advertise their chef is trained by Jean Georges Vongerichten but I think that is 100% false. The steak is a disgrace, the attempt at duck confit is dry and pretty much peking duck. The vibe in this place is "wanna be" They are trying to execute fine dining with a very aggressive environment of overcharging and tasteless food. I wouldn't recommend this place tbh. Its overpriced, great servers but sadly the food and the ambience doesn't validate the premium pricing. For a french inspired bistro the menu is all over the place. The staff also look very stressed and uncomfortable. As a seasoned diner, I know that means pressure behind the scenes. The ambience, well, lets say last time I was there, there was a shameless selfie photo shoot with some sort of birthday party of a bunch of young girls constantly flashing their cell phone cameras and occupying an entire section of tables, it was like being at a karaoke bar. They have much to learn about fine dining and how to created that type of ambience. Their ambience is nothing more than a upscale dim sum restaurant. Good luck. read more

Celebrated my boyfriend's birthday yesterday, and left the restaurant extremely happy with bellies full of wine & steak! As someone who would kill for sangria, the rose sangria was certainly to die for. The wagyu steak literally melts in your mouth. The ribeye was huge and absolutely delicious. Sides for the steak can be shared as they give you enough portions to split with someone ! Interior was beautifully designed with a modern feel to it! Staff was very friendly and more than accommodating! We also bought a cake to celebrate, but in the end, we bought it home instead because we were simply too full! A perfect place for a date night or a girls night out! We will definetely come back - especially for the sangria! read more
