I really enjoyed my experience on Saturday night. She was attentive & made our night a blast. The drinks were on point, & the food was excellent as well. We tried the shrimp, the octopus, & the seafood platter - honestly, I highly recommend all of them!
Very mid experience. The hype around this place made me want to go try it, I've been to a lot of restaurants in the city & I'm sad to say that for a brand new place the menu was very disappointing. The garlic shrimp we ordered had a weird after taste as if the shrimp were not fresh. The octopus was ok but the portion was ridiculously small, the poutine with lobster & steak was extremely salty & the lobster tasted frozen. Unfortunately just another place that was hyped up by influencers for a free dinner & promotion… unfortunate. The atmosphere is good, but the food & mocktails are not worth the salty bill.
The vibe is def for 18-28 years old & club vibes they always have a dj playing experimental deep house & they have moody lightnight with very loud music (u can barelly hear each other) & waitresses serve u wearing a leather miniskirts (the service is amazing like toptier tho dont get me wrong)
For the food: i would say the only really good thing was the kefta even the kefta could use some more grilling to have a extra crunch cuz the rest is quiet soft in texture so the outside of the kefta with a lil more crunch would be nice but overal its a very good option the tomato sauce tasted like good quality. The shrimp with garlic is quiet boring just litterly what if says absolutley nothing special & the oil was just a lil too much… & the shrimp wasnt like marinated before hand wich makes u forced to dip it in the oil wich isnt that pleasent i prefer shrimp to already have flavor on its own & get the option to maybe dip it in oil & it was a lil overcooked. The pastilla chicken def has a twist to it cuz it countains alot of flower water (ma zhar) it was okay the chicken was pleasent no big chunks. The poutine was awful… the fries were so soggy of the creme sauce & the fries had their skin wich made it taste good but it was so soggy absolutley digusting & lets not forget the steak that was drizzled in butter that was on top of the soggy fries > soggy fries with steak butter that was dripping over it > super soggy🤣 the lobster was okey but the poutine sauce was also VERY SALTY we drank so much water to get rid of the saltyness.
The interior is super impressive tho im impressed by how it came alive i can imagine how hard it was to get it togheter & come to life. I do believe the chairs dont really go with the interior it needs something as impressive as the beautifull space. The tables are also quiet small so when all the glasses are on the table & plated it gets very overstimulating cuz the tables are simply too small.
