    We had a wonderful meal and the service was great. Thank you Norma for seating us at the nice table and keeping our glasses filled. Table bread was lightly toasted with a side of olive oil and herbs. The decor was really nice, cozy and warm. We had calamari, seafood pappardelle, meatballs burgundy, braised short ribs, cream of broccoli soup, beet salad, tiramisu and cappuccinos. All were really tasty and the portions were just right. This was our first time at La Fontaine and we plan to return. Highly recommend La Fontaine for good food, professional service and warm ambiance.

    This is the 2nd time I have been here (1x outside and 1x time inside). One of the best things about this restaurant is the diversity of appealing food items (French, Italian, Mediterranean, etc.) . Server (Didem?) was friendly and accessible, though the place was not that busy so don't know how service is when the place is very busy. Food taste and portions were good; prices were reasonable; and food was presented attractively. Duck breast and beef Wellington both got thumbs up. Would go back. Pro Tip: If the weather is good, sit outside.

    Dinner was just OK. I not order the Sangria again as it was terribly sweet for some reason.

    We are regular customers of LaFontaine and have never been disappointed--even when ordering dinner to take home. We usually order Beef Wellington, which is always perfectly cooked, and beautifully presented en croute and atop yummy mashed potatoes and green vegetables. This time I had the duck breast which was a culinary delight. Despite much increased prices over the past few years, it remains or favorite local restaurant for special occasions!

    This was the first time I've tried this restaurant. I took a colleague for a business meal. It was a Monday so it wasn't busy. The waiter was terrific. He clearly saw us involved in conversation and didn't bother us every 10 min to see if we wanted to order. I ordered the special spare rib risotto and it was superb. It was a very generous portion size and I'm still dreaming about it. My colleague got the meatball dish and he said it was great. I'm so glad I tried this new spot and plan to be back.

    We had a team dinner (11 attendees), and they were great at getting all our dishes to the table simultaneously. The team raved that the food was flavourful and the wine (French, a red and white) was paired perfectly with the dishes everyone ordered. We were not rushed to leave as we wrapped up our dinner, and they left for a bit to enjoy our conversations and relax after dinner. It was an excellent experience for our team, and we will go back in the future.
