La dame qui nous a servis était particulièrement aimable.

As always, the meal was delicious and beautifully presented if not a bit overpriced for the size of the meal. The server was very pleasant and professional. People were spaced far apart in accordance with COVID regulations, but the tables were still spaced as they have been in the past. I would wonder if tables would be left empty if more people were in the restaurant. My friend and l will definitely return.

Très bonne bouffe et très bon service.

Phenomenal service. It was out first time at a restaurant since covid. The setting and distancing was great, and we felt quite comfortable. The incredibly friendly service and going the extra mile made our day. Thank you.

Reliably good food at reasonable prices in a comfortable setting

I've been eating at Essence for years. Working downtown and happily situated right across the street from Essence, it was our favourite place for lunch. Then Covid-19 came. And we were away from our offices and the restaurant for many months. Now that we're back part time, looking out our office window we were delighted to see that Essence was opened. We excitedly booked our lunch yesterday. It was wonderful being back! The setup was professionally and beautifully done to keep us safe with social distancing intact. We were outside on the Terrace and it felt just like a most wonderful return to normal. And the food was delicious as it always was. Nd the staff were masked and politely keeping their distance.
I'm so happy we are back together in this new normal and look forward to many many more lunches in the near future!

J'ai été sur l'heure du midi. Service rapide.
J'ai pris comme entrée les calmars et le tartare de saumon et tous étaient bons.
Pour moi le tartare de saumon aurait dû être plus épicé. Je vais le demander à l'avenir.

J'aime beaucoup ce restaurant et j'y vais régulièrement. La nourriture est délicieuse et très bon service.

I love to come to this restaurant, this was the actual first restaurant at took my future to be wife and since then we love this place.
Abeyance is nice staff very friendly overall a good experience.
Prices are very reasonable and portions are very generous.
This was actually the first time we took my son with us and he lost his experience, the waitress was very nice to him, he actually give her a tip because she was very nice to him.

Excellent meal & service. We will be sure to return.

Pour un jeudi, nous avons passé une très belle soirée, bonne bouffe, bon service. Les tables situées près de leurs belles grandes fenêtres sont particulièrement appréciées. Je le recommande.

Excellent restaurant et service impeccable!!
Il y a toujours de l'eau dans nos verres, du pain et du beurre dans le petit panier sur la table, sans compter que les repas sont franchement délicieux.
Les prix sont raisonnables et c'est un endroit parfait pour un lunch d'affaires ou un 5 à 7.
Je recommande définitivement.

Très bonne nourriture, belle ambiance et bon service. Merci!! :)

First time at Essence. Food and service were good. Glad we made reservations as it was quite busy at lunch time.

Our waiter was very impatient, kept asking if I was done with my meal when clearly I was not. It was very disrupting

J'ai pris la table d'hote: la soupe aux brocoli comme entrée, l'assiette de fruits mer dans un bouillon et un tartelette aux pommes. Toute ces plats étaient bon sauf pour le dessert qui était ordinaire. On a eu un rapide. La serveuse était à l'écoute et attentionnée. C'est ma deuxième fois et c'est certain que je vais y retourner.
