Service est absolument terrible. Nous sommes allés pour un brunch de fête & nous avons attendu trop longtemps pour absolument tout. Cela nous a pris 1h juste recevoir un latte.nous avons averti 30 min à l'avance que nous voulions la facture. & la serveuse a tout fait tout croche… elle a été incapable de séparer les factures correctement ce qui est complètement intule. À cause d'elle, nous sommes arrivés en retard à l'autre activité que nous avions. Absolument inacceptable.
La nourriture n'est même pas si exceptionnelle, un bon service aurait été le minimum.
I went there with my friends around 3 p.m. & they brought us the brunch menu. At first, I ordered the early bird, but it wasn't available, so I chose the smoked salmon bagel.
The presentation was really beautiful, & the service was good. Unfortunately, when I started eating, the bagel was extremely salty. I asked my friends to taste it too, & they all agreed that something seemed off.
I mentioned it to the server, & she was kind & handled it professionally. The owner came to our table, apologized, offered to replace the dish with something else, & removed it from the bill, which I really appreciated.
Even though there was an issue with the bagel, I liked the rest of our food, atmosphere & the way the staff handled the situation. They were very nice & friendly.

Fantastic experience from start to finish! Food was delicious, I had the tartufata with a side of french fries & truffle mayo. Service was exceptional, friendly & attentive. The restaurant itself is beautiful. We had a great time & will definitely be back. Highly recommend!
This place is super cute & really well designed. The atmosphere is modern, welcoming, & somewhere I'd happily spend time with friends.
We tried a few different items, & overall I really enjoyed the meal. The truffle mushroom pizza was the standout. The flavours were delicious, & the dough was soft & fluffy, although it was slightly undercooked in the centre for my liking.
The cheese sticks were good, but they didn't quite wow me. I wasn't a huge fan of the cheese that was used, although the dipping sauces were excellent overall. The only one I didn't enjoy was the green sauce-it had a strong horseradish flavour (or something similar) that overpowered the rest.
The fries were fantastic-crispy, well seasoned, & easily one of my favourite parts of the meal. The chicken tenders were also nicely crispy, but I found the chicken itself could have used a bit more seasoning. Thankfully, the sauces added plenty of flavour.
Our server was amazing, she answered all the questions & checked in on us & was always close by.
Overall, it's a spot I'd definitely come back to. There are still plenty of pizzas & menu items I'd love to try, & based on this visit, I think it's worth another trip.
Went to Minnibar for lunch & while I loved my sandwich, I was rather disappointed by the service & the matcha latte was really just milk. Despite the restaurant not being busy, the waiter seemed to be in a rush including beginning to leave while we were still ordering. Our questions also seemed like an inconvenience for the waiter, for example when we asked about drinks, it was like pulling teeth to understand what drinks we could order (there was no drinks menu at the table). The restaurant should really have a drink menu, even if the drinks are standard coffees/teas, & encourage their staff to be a bit more polite/caring.
