I had a nice evening with a friend here. The service was good. The pastry is lovely. You can choose to sit beside the windows too. We didnt have any difficulty or bad experience
Party of 8 for brunch, a little late getting seated but the staff more than made up for the delay. Great food, great atmosphere, & great service. Can't wait to come back.

Celebrated 7 years anniversary here with my fiancée. Service was amazing, not only the service was great but the food was mouthwatering that we even bought the pastries for takeout! Thank you Titouan for the amazing service! Will be back for sure (:!
Ordered the filet mignon & it's not that they brought out a cut of obviously not filet mignon, it's that they cleverly tried to disguise it as a filet mignon, which felt rather insulting. The dining room was overcrowded to the point where it heightened my anxiety past an acceptable level & I had to notify the wait staff that we needed to leave while the kitchen was still correcting their mis-stake. Don't go here for a special occasion. Wait until the patio opens in the summer & go for a random weekend brunch. The food is usually really good but booking a table for Valentine's Day was a mistake I very much regret making.
Fantastic food but a little pricey. I came with my wife for a fancy (weekend-before-Valentine's-Day) dinner & we were well impressed. I believe the octopus appetizer is one of the best I've ever had. Amazing sauce with veggies & a super tender, fairly large (not chewy) octopus tentacle. The escargots appetizer was great, but had maybe a little too much pesto that overpowered the delicate flavour of the snails (a lot of pesto was left behind). For the main course we had the lamb & lobster risotto. The lamb was really good but I wasn't too impressed with the side of beans & potato...the potato specifically, just seemed like really large fries. I don't usually associate fries with fancy restaurants. The lobster risotto on the other hand was phenomenal. Tender lobster, perfect rice & an amazing sauce. For dessert my wife had a lemon tart (she loved it) & I had the cheese cake (delicious). I would definitely recommend this place for a special occasion, but for a regular dinner out, a bit pricey. We did have a cocktail & glass of wine each, combined with 2 appetizers, 2 main dishes, 2 desserts & a double espresso, our total with tax & tip was $360. Still worth the experience & I'd definitely come again...for a special occasion! :) ...definitely try the octopus if you like octopus...it's amazing.
I am impressed by the gesture provided by this restaurant. I ordered a small item (opera) to celebrate with my husband & they were so thoughtful about the Valentine's Day that it came with a very good packaging. I did not expect this! Thank you so much :)

Excellent choice of fine bakery. I haven't tried their dinner menu, so I can't comment on that. But the pastry items were delicious to say the least. Highly recommend. Their courteous staff & ambience makes it more delicious.
Honestly, I went there with my family & it was delicious definitely worth for the price. Above all, it was the service for me, they're genuinely attentive to their clients, not just seeking for good tips. Otherwise, it's not a typical breakfast restaurant, so the price is a little bit higher than the usual, but you get a decent meal for what you paid. Will I come back for a special occasion? Definitely!
