Compliments to the chef & the waiters, but the owner is an unhinged douchebag, ruins the mood.

Accueil chaleureux, cocktail fade au goût & en présentation. Un excellent tartare d'ombre. Tatare de boeuf insipide & avec texture désagréable. Pleurotes bons. Salade correcte. Tarif démesuré quand un plat & un cocktail ne sont pas du tout satisfaisants. Ambiance agréable.

DELICIOUS! Super fresh high quality ingredients treat with respect. Every product shines in each dish. The knuckles are super yummy & not too greasy- they are oddly light. My mom calls their salad her "happy" course- it is really delicious. All of the pasta is made in front of your eyes I am always amazed & how they create magic in such a small space. The staff are kind & knowledgeable!

Nous avons eu une belle expérience. Plats délicieux qui sont bien travaillés, certains assez originaux comme le tartare au boeuf style st-hub. Service excellent très amical, les prix sont un peu élevés, mais ça vaut tout de même le détou
