Très décevant, prix bien trop chère pour la qualité & la quantité de repas offert , c'était ma deuxième fois car j'ai voulu réessayer mais je n'y retournerai plus très mauvais rapport qualité prix & surtout le goût n'y est vraiment pas.

We ended up eating here twice during our short vacation. It's really great food & there's so many different things we wanted to try. Frankly, everything we had was good. Service was quick & friendly. My favorite dish was the Aleppo cheese.

Long review coming up . It was my first time at this restaurant & I was truly impressed. the service is friendly & professional. The restaurant (we were on the dining room side not casual side) is really nice & cozy. Perfect for date night . We reviewed the menu & opted to go with the staff selection, we are vegetarians. It turns out the suggestions were all great & tasty . the selection comes to about 50 $ per pers. + drinks + dessert . In the end, the bill is showing the individual price of the dishes that were selected for you & it does comes to about 50 $ / pers, the difference you don't pick your food & you trust the staff choices according to what you tell them in terms of preferences it's not a'selection' as such & we were offered the same food as the tables around us that had opted for the same option. I've discovered really delicious flavor combinations & selections. a few misses, the spicy fries were ok but nothing special & they got cold fast . Be aware they go heavy on the spices in every dish . Sumac & lemon are very powerful & we had a hard time finishing the last dishes our tongues were burning. The wine selection & the sommelier were good . 15 $ for 1 glass is a bit high but it was for a special night . The desserts are fabulous, I had the knaffe & my wife had the creme caramel, both excellent. A few opportunities for improvement: the music in the background was not on par with the restaurant vibe . They do go heavy handed on the dressing with some dishes . We were offered to take home whatever we could not finish but we thought they would pack the leftover for us instead of bringing boxes & bags at the table for us to do everything ourselves. All in all it was a very pleasant dining experience, perfect for a special occasion. We will come back for another special occasion but we will probably make our own choices next time . Note: finding parking on the streets around can by challenging, make sure to read the street signs & restrictions.

Bon restaurant avec un excellent service. Par contre, je vous suggère de ne pas choisir le menu dégustation, le prix varie de 40$ à 60$, vous ne saurez pas combien vous allez payer & les portions sont petites & sans dessert. Contre: le pain vient dans un sac plastique & froid À essayer: la salade fattouche & le filet mignon.

Pros : Nice atmosfere, attentive staff, light music in the background, cozy & it is possible to have a conversation Cons : tasting menu - very expensive.small portions where the price can go up to 60 cad without the dessert. Not worth it
