Resto cocon, pas très grand avec cuisine ouverte. Parfaite embiance. La nourriture était excellente pour le style. Ce n'est pas du Michelin c'est certain mais c'était savoureux. Les côtelettes d'agneau étaient parfaites. Le ceviche de pétoncles, la salade de courges butternut...miam! Bien hâte d'y retourner & de goûter aux autres plas. Nous avons été très bien servies aussi. C'était juste parfait.
My husband & I had been here once before, & this time we brought a couple of friends along, & it did not disappoint.
The ambiance is really nice & cozy, & we especially love the open kitchen concept. It's a cute bring-your-own-wine tapas spot, so it's perfect for sharing & trying a variety of dishes.
Let me start by saying the service was outstanding. Our waitress, Rawan, was wonderful, super friendly, made great recommendations, & checked on our table just the right amount without ever feeling intrusive.
We ordered quite a few dishes to share. I had the stuffed zucchini blossoms, beef crudo, & the beet carpaccio with salmon gravlax, which was definitely my favourite dish of the night. My husband had the bone marrow butter with homemade bread, as well as the beef crudo, Parmesan fries, & the shrimp tempura with spicy mango & papaya salsa. We also shared the braised pork belly & Caesar salad.
Everything was fantastic across the board, everyone really enjoyed the night & loved the food. We wrapped it all up with the white chocolate crème brûlée, which was absolutely delicious.
Small & cozy, maybe a touch on the cramped side, but it adds to the Bourdain inspired atmosphere: eating should be a joyous, social activity. We were here for Valentine's Day, coincidentally, but did not find the special menu interesting enough. There was just so much else to try. All the food was delicious & the place was hopping. This, unfortunately, slowed the service down considerably; we waited over an hour for our mains. Normally, we would have taken this in stride, but we had a show two hours after our reservation. To make it in time, we had to forego dessert. However, this didn't take away from the excellent experience we had.
Chu vraiment déçue se restaurant tellement bon...il faisait tellement froid le 27 décembre toute lea clients serait de mon avis..car le système de chauffage.ne marchait pas...je peux comprendre..mais sérieux..offeret a vos clients un minimum...genre un rabais???
Malheureusement nous n'avons pas passé une soirée agréable. La nourriture était très bonne, je dois dire. Cependant, il y avait un bris de chauffage & c'était très froid à l'intérieur . Malheureusement, nous n'avons pas été avisé de la situation. Je comprend qu'un bris de chauffage est hors de contrôle. Cependant, quand on mange avec notre foulard &/ ou notre manteau parce qu'il fait -15 dehors, je trouve que ce n'est pas acceptable & que du moins j'aurais aimé être informée pour possiblement aller ailleurs. Les plats arrivaient chauds, mais rapidement ils se refroidissaient. Pour une facture qui oscille à environ 80$ par personne je pense que ce serait le minimum que d'aviser la clientèle ou d'offrir une compensation.
This place deserves a Michelin star. Food was amazing & creative. I gave service 4 but would actually give somewhere between 4-5 just do to inconsistent timing. Most of the night was perfectly timed though.
