Additionally, Sésame offers a wide selection of loose teas, several privately imported wines, beers on tap, a wide selection of sake, but especially, a menu of exclusive Sésame cocktails.
Reviews consistently praise Sésame for delicious and varied Asian fusion dishes, with favorites like pad thai, general tao, dumplings, and poke bowls, plus original cocktails, all served with warm, attentive service. The atmosphere is described as stylish and inviting, with beautiful lighting and a lively yet comfortable vibe that fits well for a night out or pre show dining. Guests note friendly, professional staff, quick and efficient service, and generous portions that feel good value. The location and terrace are repeatedly mentioned as nice features, and the presentation and freshness of the ingredients are highlighted across visits. While a few notes mention busier nights bringing more noise or longer pacing, the overall impression is one of consistently high quality, great flavors, and a welcoming team that makes diners want to return.
Tout a été parfait & délicieux jusqu'à ce qu'on ait terminé de manger notre plat principal, nous n'avions plus de service & n'avons pas recu notre dessert, nous avons du quitter pour ne pas être en retard à notre spectacle & pourtant nous étions arrivés 2h30 plus tôt.

The positives: The restaurant is beautifully designed & had a lively, buzzing atmosphere.
The negatives (& reasons I wouldn't return): Service was very slow. No one ever checked in to see if we were enjoying our drinks or food, & worst of all-the food arrived cold. Both appetizers & soups came out at the same time after a long wait, & neither was hot.
Even though I noted in my reservation (as prompted on the website) that we had a show afterward, the service remained incredibly slow. It took over 25 minutes to receive our drinks, & one of them was made incorrectly. Since no one came by to check on our table, my husband eventually had to walk to the bar himself to have it fixed-a big no-no in my book.
Service & nourriture excellents mais la musique est trop forte & pas appropriée pour ce genre de restaurant. Un fond style chill/lounge serait plus approprié & permettrait de jaser sans devoir élever la voix pour se faire comprendre.
Du pareil au même à chaque visite. Bonne bouffe, bonne ambiance, bon service jusqu'au moment de payer. Si c'était la première fois, je n'en parlerais pas. Mais ça semble être la norme. C'est à dire, assez rapide pour la commande. Assez rapide pour avoir notre repas. Mais interminable pour avoir la facture. Pour un resto en plein centre-ville, quand la quasi-totalité des gens travaillent & doivent retrouver travailler, c'est innacletable d'arriver à 11:45 & de ne pas pouvoir partir avant 13:30.
Toujours agréable d'y retourner! Seul petit bémol… la serveuse a apporté la canette de bière & ne l'a ni ouverte, ni versée, ce qui me semble être un manque dans un restaurant comme le vôtre. Est-ce que je me trompe?
