The service was outstanding, attentive but not intrusive. For instance, our coats were taken to a cloak room and brought back to us after our meal, the wobbly table was fixed instantly and the bread basket was replenished without having to ask! The menu has all the traditional offerings of a French bistro and each of us enjoyed the meals we were served. The charcuteries were particularly excellent. The meals were cooked as requested (steak, rognons, fish and boudin) and served on heated plates. We tried the private label wine (red) and found it quite good as well. Overall we had a lovely evening and one of the best restaurant experiences in a while. We will be back! Thank you!

Menu changes very often and this menu was the least interesting one… everything was funky and the ‘vegetarian’ pasta had some kind of snail in it….. plus the coleslaw was pretty much the costco mix of dill salad…. This is however the first time that we’ve left there disappointed.

The table d’hôte is the way to go, the braised beef and Wellington are great. The ambience and restaurant are very cute and the food is very fresh since it’s all locally sourced. Great place for an intimate dinner or small group of friends.:)
