Hi Kris, I'm truly sorry to hear about your experience and I appreciate you bringing this to my attention. This isn’t the level of service we aim to deliver, and I’ll be addressing it directly with our team. I’d appreciate the opportunity to make this right if you'd consider giving us another chance — please feel free to reach out to me directly. Thank you again for your feedback. Warmly, Callum Heald, General Manager

I looked up restaurant reviews online and apparently it was rated as being quiet with some sound dampening to it and "cozy". It was very loud in the large back room (i couldnt even hear the server beside me). Other spots were better but i definately would not consider with restaurant as quiet/intimate. Was hard to have a conversation at brunch. Food was very good and presented well. Wait staff was pleasant and attentive. The look of the restaurant is quite nice as well.

First to arrive at 10:30am for brunch service as we had a busy day ahead of us. We were warmly welcomed and seated. Our server was wonderful. Friendly and efficient. We enjoyed wonderful almond and chocolate croissants with coffee and fresh squeezed OJ prior to ordering the Eggs Benedict with bacon (which was excellent), the Petit dejeuner le select (which was excellent and anything but petit) and the Galette du petit dejeuner (which was a lovely, savoury meal). The atmosphere was excellent, clean and welcoming. We were a small group of 3, however the back room would easily welcome larger groups. There is also a lovely, private patio at the back for warmer weather dining. If looking for a slightly more elevated dining experience, request a table at the front of the restaurant, where you will find white table coverings and cozy booths. Not sure why we were escorted to the back when being the first to arrive for service, but delighted with our server and experience non the less.

Hi Michelle, Thank you so much for sharing your experience! I'm delighted to hear you enjoyed your brunch and that our team made you feel warmly welcomed. I appreciate your note regarding the seating — I'll be sure to remind our team to offer options when possible, especially for early guests like yourselves. We look forward to welcoming you back again soon, whether in the cozy back room or out on our patio! Callum Heald, General Manager

If you want a genuine experience of a great French bistro, this the place. Beautiful room, incredible food and amazing service. You may find it a bit pricey but more than worth every penny. (Best foie gras I have ever tasted.)
