Friendly staff & excellent food. The only thing that disappointed me is I was offered the table just besides the exterior door. I reserved a table & was about to spend almost $300 so I was not too happy about that. In the end we got to sit at the bar which was ok.

Délicieux restaurant vegan qui m'a été fortement recommandé - je ne suis pas végane. Le menu est vaste, je voulais tout essayer. Les plats sont sublimes. Ils sont décorés de façon minutieuse & le gout est extra. Je recommande absolument & j'y retournerai certainement.
