There are NO positives that can be said about this experience. The food was minimal for a high price ($140 for a few tiny sandwiches, scones which were completely overcooked and had to be sent back and resulted in a long wait for a replacement, a few savoury things which were tiny and tiny little desserts only four little tiny ones. In fact , basically the food was tasteless in most cases and extremely expensive for what we got.

The walls are flesh colored, full of pin and nail holes, the kitchen staff were dropping F bombs just on the other side of the door where we sat, the bathroom had dollar store quality tissue, an old Febreze air freshener, a ripped baby changing station.... For such a swanky place at price point, I would like to feel like I am in a special place, and this was sub par. Your art work is placed so weirdly high. Wouldn't go back for the money vs atmosphere.

One of the best Naples-style pizzas I've ever had (reviews mentioning "burnt" crust may not have…read morehad this style before, but it's authentic and correctly done) - the flavors of the Hot n Honey were exquisite. One of the most unique bruschetta presentation I've seen - chewy focaccia with whole roasted tomatoes, artichokes and basil - delicious. Pesto pasta was good and would be a star anywhere else but compared to the pizza and bruschetta came in third. The coconut cheesecake was incredible. Tangy with the right sweet balance. Michelle was a lovely server. Highly recommend.

The serving lady was very nice and helpful. I was so disappointed to hear that most of the menu items weren't available, but I was so excited to try homemade pizza and past in an Italian restaurant. We ordered "Sausage & Peppers Pasta", "Bucatini Bison Bolognese pasta", "Classic Canadian Pizza" and "Confit Garlic & Onion Pizza". Pizza dough tasted really good, but my pizza was burned and it was served with no explanations or apologies, which was a put off. Pastas tasted ok but nothing special. To be honest, I expected more of this place based on the marketing and reviews I read on Yelp.

Mom got adventurous and had the halibut which she enjoyed every bite with her eyes closed to enhance the flavours she described as phenomenal. I had, the only vegetarian (not vegan...as there is no vegan option on the menu) option, the Ukrainian dumplings... all I can say is WOW!!! The flavours from first bite to final notes were fresh, creamy and delicious!!! The prices were a little steep, and a little taken aback to have to pay for bread and butter, but even their home made focaccia was moist and crispy at the same time and the perfect tool to ensure all the sauce was where it belonged from our plates to our tummies! Our dinner was paired with a bottle of their cabsauv without any regrets. Make the reservation... your taste buds will thank you!!!

The French onion soup was really thick with cheese at the top, perhaps a bit too much so. The carrot salad was really pleasant to eat and felt healthy. The burger had a nice flavor and texture to it; the bun was a bit sweet, and the fries were tasty, but not super crisp though crisp enough, and a bit salty. The leek tartine was a bit monolithic, the leek being too oily and the bread a bit flat. It was overpriced by about $6 or $7 in my opinion. Wish there was as little more going for it. The crepes were decent; the nutella crepe was particularly sweet. For dessert, the roulé au chocolat was top notch, with a freshly whipped cream accompanying a sturdy and flavorful chocolate roll cake. Music was good too!

You can also buy sandwiches, quiches and crepes. They take orders, so you don't have to worry about things running out. Staff were friendly and accommodating. Unfortunately, during COVID you can't eat there, but there is some nice sitting both inside and out on their patio. We can't wait to come back in the future to try more of their amazing offerings. Reviews of what we tried: Crossiants sandwiches - good equality brie, while not as flakey as some places, flavour was great. Almond croissant - crunchy with lots of almond filling. Pain au chocolat - nice dark chocolate filling. Specialty coffees - smooth, flavourful. Breads - Crunchy crust and soft, chewy interior. Slightly smaller loaves than what you might find in other places, but that means you can buy several like we did! Tarts - really enjoyed these. Fairly large (you can split between two people easily). Great variety available.
