Fantastic food & atmosphere. The bread & butter was delicious & we ordered the fresh salad & clam chowder for appetizers (Entrees). The main meal was scallops & sesame seared Tuna! The waitress spoke French & English & gave a great recommendation for red wine. Highly recommended for date night.

Loved the atmosphere & our server was very attentive. However, the avocado toast was a small portion, & for the price, I expected it to be served on made in house bread, rather than a basic piece of rye toast. There was a lack of finishing on the toast, no cracked pepper, olive oil drizzle etc, just a sliced up avocado on a piece of toast.

I decided to eat here for lunch. The Yellow Fin Tuna Poke Bowl was really good. It's a good healthy option. I had the Club Sandwich & it was pretty good but my only complaint is that the bread was crunchy & not the best. It's also worth noting that both of those dishes are not hot dishes. My favorite was the Calamari. The Calamari was amazing. Not much I can say about it.

The restaurant has a nice decor & ambiance. On a Friday night the restaurant was not busy & considering what we experienced that is no surprise. Unlike some hotel restaurants whose amazing offerings make it a destination for locals, I can't imagine this restaurant so close to so many alternatives would ever be. We started with French Onion Soup. It was served appropriately. The cheese was good, the onion soup a little too sweet (but I accept that some would like that), & the bread was crunchy but tasted old / stale (which I can't imagine people would like). I had a rotisserie chicken which was plated attractively. The chicken came out slightly on the dry side. The rosemary was not the strong ingredient in the Rosemary Cabernet Sauvignon sauce making this a sort of rich & sweet sauce. The pairing of ingredients was unique. Somehow the nuts did enhance the combination but overall I wouldn't recommend this dish. We also had a burger & a Caesar salad. The burger was average but the Caesar salad surprisingly was done with a proper dressing that had a light anchovy flavor. The croutons were not stale (unlike the bread in the French Onion soup) & had an appropriate garlic flavouring. Too light on the cheese in the salad though. The burger was good. Chocolate lava cake was well plated & had a nice chocolatey flavour with fresh raspberries, whipped cream, & other milk & white chocolate crumbles around it. It was a bit on the small side compared to other chocolate lava cakes or chocolate souffles you might get. It was semi-warm but not the oozing warm to hot chocolate you might expect. Service was below average which shouldn't have been the case considering the restaurant wasn't that busy. The only saving grace was that the bar tender would sometimes see that we were bored & not being served & step out from the bar to backfill for the waiter. We timed how long it took to get the bill... it was over ten minutes. In summary no items got 5/5. If I had only a burger, Caesar salad, & chocolate lava cake at the bar I might have given this restaurant a 4/5. But French Onion soup shouldn't go wrong, chicken should be moist, lava should be hot, & service would be prompt.
