Amazing experience! The food was incredible. The Chef’s tasting is a very good value. The seafood tower alone was worth it.

Incredibly fresh, flavorful, inventive dishes which were perfectly prepared at a gourmet level. Truly a gastronomic delight. Sat at the bar which was great for sharing dishes, and we received outstanding service from the bar tender and the waitstaff. Upscale gastropub ambiance with great background lively classic pop rock music. Pricey, but high food quality and attentive service and overall experience make it worth the price. Highly recommended.

Incredible! Tomatoes, peaches and fried halloumi. Burrata and flash fried basil. Who orders chicken? Don’t miss it! With lobster pate rolled over lobster bisque. Butter poached halibut a huge win. Fantastic wine list . Live the side $18 option for beer for the cooks. Spirited experience in a tucked away location.

Very positively surprise by this restaurant. Food was at another level ! Fresh and great quality. Large choice of different wines for all tastes. The service was on point. Our waiter was very attentive and all meals came with a little presentation of the products by the waiters. Only the ambience needs to be improved, as the people at the bar (other side of the restaurant) were very loud and it kind of spoilt the atmosphere. Overall, not only the restaurant's worth trying but it's worth returning because the menu changes every month, which makes it a unique place! Special bravo to the Chef !

Ambience was comfortable and the food delicious. In particular we loved the croquettes, the lemon & blueberry tart and the hangar steak. The drinks were delightful and the scallops with corn cream sauce outstanding. Great and delicate flavors were shared in each dish. The manager programmed a fun and nostalgic sound track, had us bopping to the tunes, while feasting on the scrumptious delicacies. We felt well taken care of.

Garde Manger was recommended by a friend and my meal did not disappoint! Oysters, summer peach/heirloom tomato/halumi cheese and peach vinaigrette, followed by the trout. Superb! Perfectly balanced espresso martini and great glass of wine recommendation by the Bartender to pair with trout. I wish I could go again during my brief stay.

Garde Manger was recommended by my daughter. She did warn me that it would be challenging to find the restaurant because signage is subtle. Once we found it we received a warm welcome. Our server Loris was charming, knowledgeable and provided excellent service. The presentation of each dish was awesome and the food delicious. Would highly recommend this restaurant.
