We hosted our office party at your restaurant yesterday, & the entire experience was absolutely amazing!
?What truly made the night so exceptional was your incredible staff. They were not only nice & funny but also wonderfully efficient, quick, & incredibly attentive. They kept the night running smoothly from start to finish.
?A huge shout-out to Mathieu & Sébastien! Bien que toute l'équipe ait été fantastique, j'ai eu le plaisir d'interagir spécifiquement avec eux. Ils ont dépassé toutes nos attentes, s'assurant que tout le monde était en sécurité, bien hydraté & pris en charge tout au long de la soirée. Leur dévouement a fait toute la différence!
?Thank you for an unforgettable & flawless event! 🩷
Oh, & by the way, the music was SO GOOD! It started perfectly with a mix of neo-soul, R&B, funk, & electro-pop, & as the night went on, it smoothly transitioned into some party bangers!

Top tier vibes at this bar. Food was bomb too. The DJ was killing it. Easy 10/10 for me. Great place to start your night.

What an experience! Amazing food, drinks & atmosphere! While we only sampled a few menu items, everything from the drinks to the dessert was exceptional. Great value for the quality of the food. Can't wait to return!

Phillips Bar gave us a wonderful & memorable experience! From appetizers to mains, the dishes felt unique & well-prepared. The service was attentive throughout. I especially loved the salad & the crab dish - just wish there was a bit more of it. Well done!

This was my second visit to Phillips Bar, & once again, I was absolutely blown away! Every dish was incredible. Special shout-outs to the slip cod & the perfectly cooked steak, as well as the chicken skin with truffle sauce appetizer - you can really tell the chef is a master of his craft. The way flavors & textures are combined makes every bite a memorable culinary experience.
I came with a friend who was trying certain dishes for the first time - it was a bit out of his comfort zone, but he loved nearly everything! We are already looking forward to our next visit.
Huge thanks to the entire team for creating such an exceptional evening. Truly a dining experience not to be missed!

Okay but this spot?? So good. The menu has everything - hand rolls, maki, otsumami, taru taru, sarada, teishoku - & I tried a bit of it all (no regrets). Everything was super fresh, portions were perfect, & the service was fast + super friendly. The cocktails were not only so cute but actually amazing too 😋🍸
The whole vibe is chill & cozy - perfect for dinner with friends or a cute night out. 10/10 recommend, I'm already planning my next visit 💛

Absolutely loved this restaurant! The food was so tasty & im someone who's super picky so I was afraid that i might not like some of the food but i really wanted to try so i did & it was amazing, there are so many flavors in the food & their soya sauce is really great. The music is really fun & unique. My favorite was the onigiri tempura! I had never tasted anything like it before! I also like the chicken skin & potato truffle whip, i liked the fluffiness of the whip. I went with my family & they all loved the food, the sushi & the handrolls!

Super expérience, très bon service. Le tartare de boeuf incroyable, le meilleur que j'aie mangé de ma vie. La salade de mangue, haricots & morue : tout était excellent. Très bon cocktail également !

Super belle découverte au centre-ville! Le bar a une ambiance chic mais détendue, parfaite autant pour un 5 à 7 que pour finir la soirée. Les cocktails sont travaillés & originaux (vraiment bien dosés, pas trop sucrés). Le service est attentionné sans être envahissant, on sent que l'équipe connaît ses produits. La musique & l'éclairage ajoutent vraiment au vibe. Je recommande autant pour une date que pour sortir entre amis.

I had a wonderful experience with my girlfriend, perfect spot & intimate ambiance for a 1:1 girls' night out. The team that hosted us was warm & made great recommendations, the cocktails were fantastic & original, & the cod, out of this world. Thank you for hosting us!

Absolutely beautiful interiors & perfect lighting. The food & cocktails were fabulous as well… perfect date night spot. Service was technically perfect but not very personable.
Marjorie
The miso black cod is an absolute MUST. It was delicious & so were the hand rolls & sushi! The cocktails were beautifully complex & so tasty as well. I personally enjoy bar seating & we had such great & attentive service.
I will definitely go back, & I suggest bringing friends so you can try as many dishes as possible!

La nourriture était délicieuse er raffinée. Belle sélection de saké. Nous étions au bar & nous avons eu droit à un excellent service!
Ambiance chaleureuse & agréable.

When I discovered that the restaurant featured a fusion of Japanese cuisine crafted by Chef Lawrence Tomlinson, I knew I was in for a treat-& it certainly did not disappoint. The chef's creativity & innovative twists on high-quality ingredients resulted in a vibrant menu bursting with flavor. Each dish left me eager to inquire about the secret ingredient that elevated the flavors to an extraordinary level, yet I couldn't quite pinpoint it. I absolutely adored everything about this place! My only regret was not trying a cocktail, as the ones I saw being served looked simply irresistible. You will not be disappointed.

Amanda
Very nice place! The mango salad, salmon tartare & hand rolls all delicious.The cocktails also very good, as well as nice presentation. Very nice atmosphere in the restaurant. Would be great for date or work 5-7.

Super belle soirée avec une délicieuse cuisine asiatique. Le chef est super cool aussi
Tram
Honestly really pleasantly surprised how good this was! The interior design is beautiful & well thought of, especially the sound system is pretty amazing. You can hear the music but also have a conversation with your friends at the table.
The food was really good as well - special mention of the Gindara, which comes with side dishes & rice. I don't know what they do with the spinach but oh my god, I need the recipe!!
My mocktail was also delicious. All in all, definitely recommended & service was great as well.
