    We had a great meal last night and the floor staff staff were excellent! The new maitre d' Olivier was so professional. Scanning the tables regularly without being intrusive and guided his team perfectly. Only hiccup was that my friend asked for Medium steak and it took until the 3rd steak to get it medium Both the first and second were just like mine ie: Medium rare.(perfect for me) Maybe the chef or cook should do the touch test rather than just using the temperature test? But other than that, we couldn't fault it. Love that the restaurant has carpet eliminating sound, and enjoyed the ambience. I'll be back.

    Great wine list explained with an obvious passion by our server. Nice room with a cosy neighborhood vibe. We felt that some of the simple French food was a little under-seasoned however the desserts were a standout. The baba was the lightest I’d ever eaten.
