Restaurant e18hteenPleasantly surprisedFood was excellent as expected, but service was surprisingly genuine and unpretentious. Perhaps the best restaurant in the Byward Market.5/13/2013 12:00:00 AMUpscale and hip... quality foodSophisticated ambiance. Quality food, great flavors and excellent presentation... at an upscale price... but worth it. Creative octopus appetizer. Excellent medium-rare grilled duck breast with goat cheese gnoccis.
Strong wine list, although it would be great to see a few more choices on the "by the glass" list. Lively York Street location - and easy to catch a cab back to my hotel. Sufficiently attentive service - professional without smothering. Overall a good experience. ($$$ $118 for appetixer, entree, two glass of wine and 18% tip for one diner)5/8/2013 12:00:00 AMOutstandingWhat an amazing experience. The waiter was the perfect mixture of knowledgeable, funny (without being too in your face), attentive and more. The food was exceptional (ice cream that tasted like caramel popcorn? yum!) but was also quite filling. Unfortunately, it also left a hole in my wallet. I think it was the most expensive diner I have ever purchased (also due to a 75$ bottle of wine - at the low end of the wine menu). To be expected for such a great restaurant at a great location in the market.5/5/2013 12:00:00 AMGood Place....Service was classy and impeccable. We were very impressed with the appetizer and liked the main dish. Main dish could have been a bit of a smaller portion to leave room for desert but we were very full by then. Amazing building with lots of caracter...hard to believe that it was a Mexican restaurant years ago.5/4/2013 12:00:00 AMColdNous étions près de la porte et c'était froid chaque fois que les gens entraient il y avait une brise de vent!!! c'e fût la seul problématique!!!
