    Overall we had a pleasant experience, service was very good and the rest was good. I just get the impression it’s for a young crowd. It was our 25th wedding anniversary and I don’t find any real effort was made to knowledge it. Which is fine, but it could’ve give us a better feel of the place. Service was very fast. We were in and out of there in an 1h :30 minutes. They diffidently know how to make a dirty martini.

    The restaurant should notify patrons that it’s turned into a Lounge with a DJ. I showed up outside at the door to see a bouncer and club goers going in

    Very overpriced for this quality. Boring on Sunday evening.

    We’ve seen your 1 star reviews on both Google and OpenTable. You did not dine with us, so we’re at a loss as to how you can accurately comment on our food and service. Your party of 2 left abruptly after reviewing our menu without experience the dining service. Our restaurant prides itself on sourcing only the finest ingredients—truffle, Wagyu, foie gras, Bluefin tuna—crafted by an accomplished chef in a recently updated setting. Our commitment to quality is evident, and if our pricing doesn’t align with your expectations, that is entirely your prerogative. However, leaving negative reviews without ever having experienced our service is not only misleading, it also does a disservice to the community of small businesses that we proudly support and that make up 80% of Canada’s economy.

    La nourriture était incroyable, les produits étaient frais, les saveurs bien agencées. Les portions permettaient de goûter à plusieurs choses différentes. Le service était cinq étoiles exception faite du fait que personne dans le restaurant ne pouvait s’adresser à nous même dans un français rudimentaire. Seul bémol: deux adultes, quatre enfants, deux bières en fût, sans prendre les plats les plus dispendieux: 525$ et nous n’avions pas trop mangé. Nous recommandons!

    I took my son here and we got the chefs taster menu. We had an exceptional time and the food was very well presented and tasted amazing. The drinks were also unique and delicious, including some non-alcoholic cocktails for my son. We would definitely come back.
