Valentines Day 4 course dinner. Live jazz piano and guitar. Rose petals on the table. I chose Era as there was a vegan option for each course. Lovely wines by the glass. Great service, friendly and attentive.

Great meal, service, music. Due to poor acoustics music is way to loud. Music should be second thought rather than having speaking louder to overcome music.

The atmosphere was terrific because we were able to actually enjoy a pleasant conversation without having to shout at each other like the noise at most chain restaurants. Our tables were well spaced apart and you didn’t have to walk sideways to your table. You could see the passion of the chefs because they are visible to the restaurant patrons. The food was very fresh and tasty from beginning to the the end. The only thing I didn’t like was paying for evening parking after dropping over $200 for a restaurant dinner and it would be nice to get a discount voucher for the Human Rights Museum after spending a minimum amount over $100.
ERA BistroResponded on February 25, 2020
Hello VictorM, Thank you so much for your kind review! I am glad to hear that you enjoyed our Valentine's Day dinner, and agree that seeing the chefs in action can be quite special! I completely understand your sentiment regarding the paid parking. I will pass your feedback on and we will evaluate whether a parking voucher is something that can be implemented in the future. Thank you again, and we look forward to serving you again soon! Stephanie McPhail ERA Bistro Manager

Our lunch here was a mostly pleasant experience. The restaurant is very open (even the kitchen!) but we did not find it overly noisy. We enjoyed a table by the window but would have been totally fine at a communal table as well, what an interesting concept! The food was excellent and nicely presented. I'm not sure whether the influx of people from our seminar was overwhelming but getting our order in took some time and we did not receive our food until 1:25. (our reservation was for 12:15) At least our water glasses were refilled regularly while we waited! We were supposed to be back from lunch at 1:30 so we decided to miss the next presentation and stay to enjoy our food. Some places are just slower, but it would be nice to know in advance so you can be prepared for it. :-)
ERA BistroResponded on February 25, 2020
Hello, Thank you so much for your review, and I sincerely apologize for the long wait you endured. You are correct in that we had a very large number of guests seated at once from the conference, which slowed things down for the kitchen. I do appreciate your having made a reservation, and can assure you that if you were to visit on a regular day, you would not need to expect nearly that much of a wait. Thank you again for your honest feedback, and we so look forward to serving you again soon!

Service was great; informed and responsive. The food however was good but a few items were not. The carrot fries were overly breaded and served cold - yuck. We have enjoyed these previously and they were half the size with half the coating. But not this time. Additionally, the menu really fails for vegans. There are several vegetarian options but it is time to rethink the menu and offer some real options for vegans. And finally, offering only soy milk (which MANY vegans already know isn’t a great health option) as the only vegan milk option is short sighted. Almond, cashew and oat are alternative milk options that would be more welcoming to many. Soy milk curdles in hot coffee and is profoundly off putting. That all being said - this bistro really remains a great place to dine - the menu is interesting and the food for the most part is great.
ERA BistroResponded on February 25, 2020
Hello, Thank you for your honest feedback. I am glad to hear that you enjoyed your service and some of the food. I do apologize about the disappointing carrot fries and will pass your experience on to the chef. With regard to vegan meals, while we do have some delicious vegan options on the menu, there is always room for improvement and expansion of that category. I also appreciate your note regarding the soy milk, and will absolutely look into other dairy alternatives. Thank you again!
