The food & service were top notch. I love their creativity on the idea of tapas & Japanese food. We also had a few cocktails but they were not so impressive. But the really negative feeling I got was that management didn't allow us to eat the tiny pastries we brought along with us. We had five kids with us. & The resto had only had one dessert dish that was on menu. But that's okay. We just went next door to have coffee & our pastries. Big shout out to the people at Byblos.

Beaucoup trop bruyant.
Aucune mesure de distanciation pour protéger contre la COVID.
Pas de système de circulation d'air pour protéger les clients. Personne ne portait le masque. Dommage.
Une chaleur étouffante.

Had a great diner with my friends. My waiter was Jonathan & I definitely have to say I got a very good service from him. The food is very good too. Gotta say it's pretty original. Would definitely anybody to go try it! I tried pretty much 60% of what was on the menu since it was Tapas.

The blend of Peruvian & Japanese cuisine is flawless. Every dish offers a peek into Peruvian culture & history delivered by passionate staff members. The drink menu marches in step with outstanding service & exotic mix of flavors with detail-oriented flavour pairings & clever plays on words.
It's a shame we can only give it five stars.

Les plats ne sont pas assez généreux. Le meilleur des mets réside dans les sauces, mais on ne nous offre aucun accompagnement pour éponger les sauces. Tous les plats sont en fin de compte des entrées. C'est une cuisine parfumée, mais nous sommes restés sur notre faim. Le service est par contre excellent.

Amazing, delicious & fun! We had the chirashi bowl, octopus & ribs & loved it all. The margarita was perfect too. We had the honor of being served by chef Daniel himself & watch the cooks. Couldn't have asked for more.

Good cocktails, we tried 4 they all tasted similar. Interesting food but too salt. Service was below average.

We had high hopes for this cute & promising restaurant. Living across the street we were hoping to become regulars. The restaurant is brand new, so we root they will get better with time, but if was a bit disappointing.

The drinks were great & the service was friendly. The food was good, but overpriced considering the portion sizes & overall value.

The kitchen has refused to accommodate an egg allergy, by denying to make a slight modification to a dish (not putting mayo on a burger is a trivial request & was shut down); additionally they delivered a tartare with mayo after confirming that plate was safe for me to eat. They never offered to refire & the server (who was lovely & possibly the best part of the experience) explained the mistake was the chef's & not the front house.

We were a party of 5 & asked the bill to be evenly distributed in a group of 3 & 2 people. After 2 attempts we received 5 separate bills & had to pay 5 individual times instead of two.

I hope the review can help them improve those kinks & became super great, we would love them to step up & come back often ;)

Food was delicious, & service prompt, impeccable, & friendly. Decor/ design very pleasant. Great outdoor space & washroom facilities.
Since we shared tapa dishes that were each served in different sauces, it soon became a messy mix of all these sauces on our own little plate - we would have preferred having a little plate for each separate dish...
Loud music & voices of many people (it's quite a big place) combined made the noise level too high to have a pleasant & relaxed conversation

Service un peu brouillon, je n'ai pas reçu le plat commandé en entrée. Je voulais essayer le plat avec du boeuf, comme j'avais très faim j'ai mangé ce qu'on m'a apporté. Ma commandé était très claire pourtant. Vos cocktails sont bons, mais sont chers. 16$, c'est ridicule. Mario
