Really enjoyed the ambiance. The service was also fantastic.The cocktails were great. I tried the cafe jalisco and le solstice. Both cocktails were tasty and I would definitely order it again.The food was good. The foie gras was quite enjoyable and the castelfranco radicchio was okay. The radicchio felt like it had too much going on between the acidity of the basil vinaigrette and bitterness of the radicchio.I also ordered the feature of the night which was a pork loin dish with fingerling potatoes and some greens (i forgot exactly what it was). For $110, i felt like there should have been more. The dish was tasty and the pork loin was tender and juicy but i didn’t feel like it fits the price tag. It was a little lacklustre.The panna cotta though was a pleasant surprise and a great way to end the meal.Overall, i do think this is a great spot to get some drinks and a couple appetizers to share.

I was there by my friends recommendation. Every dish is incredible and delicious. They have a great service as well. You should book before visit.

Absolutely wonderful high end restaurant- definitely amongst the top spots in the city and I highly recommend it. We had a seasonal truffle tasting menu with delicious bites, wonderful pacing and truly amazing food execution.Our server was also really impressive - he had an incredible delivery style and was just a wealth of information about the kitchen, the menu and the wine styles we enjoyed throughout the meal. This place is worth checking out.Each person at our table came away with a slightly different take on what their favorite course was. For me, dessert was the highlight because it was a very atypical presentation. We had a rich savory dessert consisting of a custard ice cream with balsamic vinegar glaze. Unreal combination of textures and flavours. Don't get me wrong, all of the courses were great, but for me the surprise of the savory dessert caused it to take the number one spot.

Loved their seasonal truffle tasting menu. It was like a movie, climax after climax. The ice cream was the highlight of the night. Talented chef. Almost all the managers and servers came and asked me how the food was.I was offered a booth after the manager saw me at a small table.The two person tables are too close to each other.

Went for the truffle tasting menu, the food is made with exceptional attention to detail and the servers make it all the more memorable with their warm hospitality and lively banter. Would highly recommend! Only taking away one star as I personally felt the portions were extremely small for the price!

This was my favorite spot in the city and I regularly found myself looking forward to their tartare, fois gras, and mocktails and service was always impeccable. I recently visited and was so unpleasantly surprised. Our server ignored us for most of the night. I was disappointed to learn that the tartare recipe had changed from the classic tartare to one with yogurt and chermoula which was interesting, but not a classic French tartare which is what you expect and look forward to when going to a french restaurant. Some things just shouldn't be messed with and I truly believe tartare is one of them. Their chicken was on par with a chicken dish from a Shoeless Joe's or Jackastors - great if that's what you're expecting and paying $20 for the dish but a disappointment at a nearly $40 price point. Sadly the fois gras has been removed from the menu and it looks like they're moving away from their french roots (temporarily I hope). I will say the gnocchi was nice and the chocolate cake was fantastic. What was most disappointing about this visit was the service. Our server avoided us for most of the night and didn't do a single quality check. In fact, he left us for 30 minutes with the steak tartare and showed no interest as to why we had only gotten one bite in in 30 minutes. Luckily a manager came by and was able to resolve the isue we had with the appetizer. Again no quality check with our mains and when long after we were done he made it over to our table I really got the sense that I was putting him out by ordering desert. To note, this was long after a dinner rush and there were only a few tables on the patio. I hope things change! This restaurant was such a gem.

It's got a great atmosphere but the food lacks complexity given the price they charge. I feel like I am eating lots of off the shelf potatoes based stuff that night. And the the two dishes; mushrooms and potato dishes came covering with similar white sauce. The chicken was good, but nothing special small portion for 40+ dollars. They also don't give you free bread either...and this is at a french restaurant, instead they charge you 7 dollars for it!!!! That is almost illegal at a French restaurant" if you know what I mean. You are really paying for the services and the location which are great. We only book this place because we couldn't find other places last minute for 6

The place is nice and usually the food is good tooBut last Sunday we did the regional burgundy menu for $125The entree is a simple salade with an poached egg which makes it quite an expensive salade compared to the foie gras from the November menu ..The beef was okBut the desert, the salty caramel chocolate tart… it was awful way too much salt !!!It is almost they drop the entire bag of salt in it !! Very displeased by that like no one tasted it!I am very disappointed compared to my previous experiences especially for that price tag !!

Hand down the best cocktail for those who prefer something sweet but strong. We waited around an hour for our food which was a bit long. However, we did get apologies from the waiters and kitchen. The food was moderate considering its high price. Nevertheless, the seating was very comfy and inviting. Overall, a good experience.
