Deuxième visite chez knukcles, la première fois, nous avions commandé pendant la pandémie, nous n'avons pas réessayé les classiques petits Knuckles, type pizza pochettes qui sont très bons de mémoire. Deux des trois plats commandés étaient très bons. Les carbonara maison étaient trop assaisonnée, par contre les pâtes à l'intérieur faites en face chez Etna étaient très bonne. Le service, super bien. Led drink & vins sélectionnés très bien aussi. belle salle à manger sympathique, restaurant de quartier avec une facture de près de 100 $ tx tip inc par personne. On your retournera probablement.

Their strengths lie in the entrée menu & expansive wine selection! The dense freshness of the kale & complimentary sweet vinaigrette, the sharp tanginess of the buffalo oyster mushrooms with the creamy blue cheese! A real treat with shareable portions. & cozy cute, intimate atmosphere. Only one star off a perfect mark for the overcooked gnocchi & the classic cocktail executions that require an unconventional palette. Otherwise, I'll be sure to bring guests again for the next seasonal menu change!

Cuisine originale & savoureuse!! C'est effectivement un entre chemin entre le "greasy spoon" & le "fine dining", les plats sont raffinés tout en étant gourmands à souhait. Le service a été super, le décor du resto était super puis les cocktails & vins étaient délicieux. Une belle adresse à garder en tête :)
