Mike & his staff which includes the personel in the kitchen the key ingreedient are a
great team...we just completed our first tasting menu, a wonderfull success with some great Italien red & whites. A five star in my book. Keep it going Mike a true success.
Clam chowder: Good!
Calamari : It was good, I liked the thin batter & it was a good portion.
tartare: Very good, on par with fancy places, took the tuna & beef & it was fresh, tangy & the dijon took over on the beef one but overall great.
Bavette with chimi churri: Steak was small, juicy, tasty but i gotta say that was not chimi-churri sauce at all.
Service was okay, we had to chase our waiter but maybe it was just busy. Atmosphere was as good as you can make it in an IKEA showroom (sorry i dont know how else to describe it)
Overall it needed a little more character, I would recommend it for the tartare!
Fantastic! Delicious, Great Service, Relaxing Atmosphere
This restaurant is a GEM hidden away in a corner of gas stations, fast foods.
Do NOT pass this bye, you will have the best of service & top qualify of food.
Relax, enjoy.......................................

Bonne première expérience au bistro 22. Arancini délicieux quoi que beaucoup trop cher pour la portion. Bons plats de pâtes mais beaucoup trop d'ail. Mérite une petite coche de raffinement de plus.

Nous sommes aller en groupe de 14 personnes & le service était extra ordinaire! & que dire de l'accueil & l'hospitalité de Mike!
Le restaurant nous avait placée en style table ronde! Une formule gagnante pour que tout le puisse voir & discuter ensemble! C'était fantastique! & que dire de la cuisine ... Les prix sont abordables & les plats délicieux!Ce n'était pas notre première fois & ce ne sera pas notre dernière! Merci encore une fois a toute l'équipe!
Travelling from NB to ON & just found this gem on a google review. The decor is tasteful.The waiter is amazing. All types of food on the menu & thats enough right there to make you want to go.
Attended the scotch tasting last night & then stayed for dinner. Service was amazing! Treated like friends not customers. My husband & I ordered the club sandwich & the fettuccine Alfredo with chicken. Can't rave enough about the quality of the food. Never tasted pasta that good! & the club & fries were almost as fantastic. We are already planning date night for next week!!! Also - the owner knew it was our anniversary & he sent over a crème brûle on the house. Excellent. I highly recommend!!!
Wow!! This place was incredible!! The food, the service, the ambiance, everything was perfect!! The chicken parm was probably the best Ive ever had! I cannot wait to go back!
