Impeccable food quality & service, I wish the place could be less busy, kinda had to shout through the night on a busy summer night. We ordered the $89/person steak,scallop, shrimp & lobster platter, something like this in toronto will cost at least 1.5 times, huge portion for 3 people. We barely finish the plate. Had a great time!

The atmosphere was great, slightly loud because of the amount of people though. Originally, my New York strip steak was slightly overcooked (asked for a medium rare & got medium well done) but it was instantly recooked by the chef at no extra cost & all our food tasted great. Would recommend the NYS steak & the filet mignon.We visited for a birthday & the friendly staff provided us with a complimentary birthday dessert, at the end of our meal, made with maple syrup which was insanely good. One thing you should note is definitely take a reservation in advance if you plan to come with groups as the place does get quite busy. More on the expensive side but totally worth it.

Nourriture très bonne, mais très chère, aussi, boissons aussi. Réservation faite mais avons du attendre 20-25 minutes pour avoir table après l'heure de la réservation. Endroit très joli mais beaucoup trop bruyant, on ne s'entend pas à table on doit presque crier. Bref, à part la qualité de la nourriture, l'excellence du service de valet & les voitures bling bling parquées devant, pas certain que je retournerais là bas pour ces raisons.
