About

The establishment prepares various steak cuts utilizing specialized grilling techniques to ensure consistent texture and charred exteriors. Beyond the meat offerings, the menu incorporates a diverse array of fish and shellfish prepared with classic French-inspired techniques that prioritize natural ingredients.

This venue maintains a commitment to ingredient-driven plates that highlight the technical precision required for effective open-fire cooking and traditional preparation methods.

Many guests enjoy the trendy, vibrant atmosphere and stylish interior, making it a popular choice for celebrations and special occasions. While a large number of visitors praise the attentive and professional service provided by staff, others note inconsistencies, occasionally citing long wait times, noise levels that can make conversation difficult, or mixed experiences with certain side dishes and seafood seasoning.

C'est la deuxième fois que je viens car la viande y est excellente & que le pudding chômeur vaut tous les déplacements mais le service est à revoir. Notre serveuse était géniale, mais la personne qui nous servait l'eau & nous débarrassait était oppressante. Elle coupait régulièrement nos conversations ou les moments où on pouvait se tenir la main en discutant, ce qui n'est pas très délicat. Puis elle est allée jusqu'à récupérer nos serviettes sur nos genoux après avoir débarrassé nos plats !! Outre le côté un peu déplacé de la démarche, nous n'avions pas fini notre repas ... pour le reste le resto est très bruyant (sauf si vous avez la chance d'être installé proche d'une fenêtre) & sombre. Les cocktails ne sont pas très bons & goûtent seulement l'alcool. C'est une expérience mitigée, je reviendrai en sachant ce que je viens chercher : de la bonne viande & un sugar rush après ce divin pudding chômeur.

Cuisine incroyable je recommande ! Nous y sommes allés un samedi soir c'était plutôt calme, le service était très bien. Nous avons adoré les entrées (crudo de thon & carpaccio de Wagyu), le thomahawk incroyable (j'ai moins aimé les haricots croquants & non equetés), largement suffisant pour 2 personnes, & le petit dessert offert pour l'anniversaire de mon conjoint. Nous reviendrons pour sûr ! Merci

This place has an amazing vibe, friendly staff, & delicious food-I've been here many times & have never been disappointed. It's the perfect spot for a night out with friends, where you can dress up & enjoy the ambiance. They even offer a tasty vegan option, which was surprisingly delicious. & let's not forget about the drinks; they're fantastic too! The food portions are generous, & while the price range varies depending on your order, it typically falls between $25 to $100. Checking the menu online beforehand is a helpful tip. + nearby parking & valet service for added convenience

Amazing ambiance! We ordered fried calamari for starter, New York Strip & Short Ribs steak for main course. Fried calamari was delicious, & I loved the mouthwatering beef short ribs. New York strip was juicy & tasty but I found Short Ribs more tender & the seasoning was absolutely amazing! Our waiter was very friendly & nice. I liked the music too (although it was a bit loud) Highly recommend this place!
