    I am already missing Appellation and will surely visit the proprietors' other venue, Bar Pastoral, in the future.

    We enjoyed Appellation..... especially the cheese and meat board. Nice relaxed atmosphere. Didn’t like the poutine, but we were curious as poutine gets a lot of buzz. The waiter tried to warn us that we might not like it. Waiter was very sweet. Unfortunately, as we were finishing up, the owner or manager came to each table to tell us they were closing this site next week!

    LOVE this place! It's great for wine and cheese after a long day at work, celebrations with friends, date night. I've already booked another reservation to take family I have in town next weekend! Great local spot <3

    Appellation is always really good and their food is always excellent. I always recommend it to everyone. If you want to have an excellent wine option (also per glass) and a good combination of tapas and entrees options, this is the place to go!

    Such a great place for dinner with a group of friends. We closed the place down and none of the staff was bothered about us lingering on.

    We love coming here for their bottomless mimosas, however, we were not happy at all with the service this last time. In times past, we would have the glass topped off without asking and often. Yesterday we had to ask each time we wanted more and it seemed like the staff were not interested in serving the mimosas. “Bottomless” definitely was not an accurate description of what we paid for. We barely had consumed enough for it to be worth what we spent. Our server took a long time to get to our table and checked in once other than dropping off the bill. The food is always great, so we were happy at least that stayed consistent.
