Fantastic overall. Service was first class, our server and his crew were very attentive. We basically had one of everything off the menu (everything is designed to be sharing plates). Charcuterie and cheese was great – a nice selection of cheese produced in Quebec and charcuterie that was a mix of in house and local.
We aren’t fussy about our wines – but the server gave us a good run down of what to expect with the various glasses we ordered.
These were preceded by cocktails and mocktails, which were very well done.
Food was mostly great (French onion soup – amazing, probably one of the best I’ve had ever; fries – shoe string style, my favorite; spaghetti alla chitarra – nice mix of flavours with lardons and mussels), some mid (bread – butter was a bit too salty and bread a bit on the chewy/dry side, but perhaps our opinions were biased as we had the most amazing sourdough earlier that day from a bakery; cauliflower/sunchoke – actually nice texture but we weren’t a fan of the smokiness) and one a bit underwhelming (steak – wasn’t warm when we were served and the kale imparted a bitterness that we weren’t a fan of).
Dessert was ++two thumbs up. Chocolate and caramel tartlet was greatly enjoyed!
Atmosphere was great – only issue was the cork seats at the high-tops – ok for a short period, but by our second hour our table was taking walks to get off the seats for a few minutes!
Will be returning – really enjoyed the overall experience.
