Une belle adresse. Un maison de passionnés, sans chichis efficace. Une cuisine traditionnelle mais avec le soupçon de fantaisie qu'on adore! Les steaks de porc maturés... Quel délicieuse surprise. Merci

Lets get the obvious fact out of the way, this place IS expensive. If you aren't prepared to part with $100+/person, you're just going to be nervous about the bill the whole time. Still worth it! tldr; execution from the staff was spot on & the food was amazing! This place has a calm, organized & posh feel to it. Wife & I visited this place for an early dinner as a last minute whim to dine there. We ordered the Lobster spaghetti & Hanger steak with blood pudding, with oysters & both their Lager & IPA to wash it all down. The Lobster Spaghetti is their most ordered dish, & I'm not surprised why, absolutely delicious. Hanger steak was cooked to perfection & it was my first time having blood pudding & that delicious as well. The fresh oysters were also great, pleasant experience. The beers were alright, both of the lager & IPA tasted identical, fruity & hoppy, the lager just had a stronger carbonation. Overall, we went with safe orders as it was our first time visiting. Next time, if budget allows, we'll definitely venture for more of their'exotic' offerings & try to get a more suitably dinner reservation. I don't believe this place is the best bang for your buck, but i do believe that I'd be comfortable ordering dishes from Joe Beef that I wouldn't normally consider like Horse Tenderloin.

Definitely did not live up to the hype. It's a cute cozy place but over priced really for what you get. The oysters were nice & fresh & perfectly shucked but the beef wasn't a quality cut. Glad to say I tried it but most likely won't return. Friendly polite service, which you should expect.

Relaxed environment. Great music on play, little bit of a tight fit in the dining area by the bar. Waiter & food were fantastic.

4/5 only because the snails were not nice. Need to re-study a recipe how to prepare snails. All the rest were fantastic: oysters, meat & drinks. Service was very nice, polite, attentive & kind, with a smile. Place has very warm ambience & certainly worth the money. Will visit again, but sticking into the meats.

This place is legit. Well worth a visit. They know their stuff & food is elevated to an art form. Truly, there are few places like this. A real gem.

We ordered beef tartare to start & the shareable steak as our main. The red wine sauce was excellent & really elevated the dish. The sides of marrow bone & bitter greens complimented the steak well. Be prepared to wait up to an hour before food arrives during busy dinner times.
