    The bistro was freezing upon entering as no heat was on and door and windows were thrown over. W4th Avenue, a very high traffic noise level, was tough on hearing. When server was asked to close door and windows, she declined saying the sun was out. So uncomfortable was the meal. Eventually as more patrons entered, they were closed but put me off.

    The menu is varied, the food was delicious and our server, Jordan, was terrific. Such a wonderful restaurant to enjoy a great meal with the ability to have good conversation with friends without having to shout. It was like having a great meal at home, with none of the work. We have been before and intend to keep going back. We loved the fixed price menu and the variety of selections. The onion soup, mango salad, duck confit and braised beef were all hits with our group of four. A super neighbourhood gem for those lucky to live nearby...an hour-long ride for us, but a ride worth taking!

    The 3-course meal was great value with good enough selections. The restaurant setting wasn't too formal and the ambience was cozy.

    Fantastic food and excellent service The scallop and prawn ceviche was so tasty and flavors so rich. The seafood linguini was served in abundance for a very well priced, Prix Fixe menu. Excellent value. The server was very attentive and gave me a good dining experience. Highly recommended. A Neighborhood Gem.
