On a attendu vraiment longtemps pour que quelqu'un prenne notre commande (25 minutes). Quand j'ai demandé si on était tombé entre deux sections la réponse a été'ben là je suis ici' avec un haussement nonchalant & aucune excuse... La foccaccia était très bonne, les oeufs brouillés rien d'exceptionnel, y'a vraiment de meilleurs endroits avec un meilleur service. L'endroit est quand même vraiment beau & sympathique. Dommage.

I used to LOVE this place but unfortunately will not be in my favourites anymore. The waitors don't come see you often & i was very thirsty waiting for water, to order dessert, drinks, i even had to wait 30 minutes to finally request the bill. I stopped multiple waitors to request for salt, or water, a drink. The atmosphere is VERY LOUD. The music, the people, so if you're looking for a calmer environment this isn't your place!!! Waiting times are also very long & the thing i appreciate least is HOW TIGHT THIS PLACE IS! Sit on the terrace if you want more space because inside you will sometimes sit with strangers on tables that are stuck, or can sit on 4 people table with 2 strangers if you're 2 people. The pasta is amazing but the shrimp pasta was a dish i did not like at all. The ragu, the cacio e pepe, the ceasar's salad, foccacia, all BANGERS. Unfortunately i rated this place a 2 because after sharing my disappointment with the taste of shrimp pasta sauce (taste like fishy sea water), the person in charge was very deceived/resentful & said they'd still charge me for personal taste. I come from a family of fishers, i love shrimps but this sauce was not it. Pros: food is good (except for shrimp pasta in my personal opinion) & the drinks have virgin drinks & freshhhh food. Cons: too tight, too loud, long waiting lines (although outside of their control) & rude response from person in charge if you dislike/have an opinion based on certain foods!

Went for brunch with friends & family & had a great experience. The food was delicious, the ambiance was nice, & the staff were friendly & welcoming. Service was a bit slow, but in the end it didn't matter. I'll definitely be coming back.

I want to give this place a real review because my expectations were quite let down… I realize & am sympathetic towards the fact that they were understaffed & just opened their patio, & I think simply put our table of 2 was forgotten abt for an hr & a half :(At the end of the day though, the breakfast sandwich was just a fried egg between bread with no acoutrements… for $14? The sausages were good but should have been bigger for the price. The best thing was the mustardey stewed apples which were excellent. But it all felt kind of… soul less? I think its a case where they are stepping out of their niche, I'm sure the cocktails & italian food here is really good, just don't go for breakfast. Also kind of overhyped influencer vibes. I'm sorry I had to be honest!

Super bon! J'aurai aimé de plus grosse portion pour le prix, mais en partageant a plusieurs il est possible de goûter à différents plats!

Barbara had a really nice ambiance-cozy & welcoming with a stylish touch. The food was delicious & beautifully presented. It did feel a little overpriced for the portion sizes, but overall it was worth the experience. The focaccia is a must-so fresh & flavorful, it alone is reason enough to go back!

Price to food quality is way off, service is really unfriendly & terrasse during the summer blocks the whole sidewalk.

Casual atmosphere, friendly staff, good survive. Food was good, 2nd. Time there. The first time we sat at the communal table which was fun & interacted with a few people.

Nous avons adorés notre expérience, la nourriture était délicieuse, la carte de vins complète & variée puis le service impeccable. Mention spéciale à Gabrielle, notre serveuse, qui etait à l'écoute de nos demandes & a su nous faire des recommandations en fonction de nos goûts. La soirée fut agréablement marquée par notre passage au barbaravin, merci à toute l'équipe. Nous serons de retour prochainement!

The food was amazing, & most of the staff were friendly & welcoming. But we had to wait for an hour to get a table. However, one staff member was quite rude to me simply because I didn't leave a 15% tip. He shamed me publicly, despite the fact that I had paid my bill & still left a tip. Because of that unpleasant experience, I can't give this place a full 5 stars.

Superbe expérience, j'y suis allé un dimanche soir avec ma conjointe & l'ambiance y était parfaite. Très bon service de la part du Staff & que dire de la qualité de la bouffe 🤌🏽

Nous y retournerons avec grand plaisir!
