Went here for brunch & loved the food & flavours. I didn't have to add salt, which is saying something. I didn't love the chicken waffles & my signature drink but everything else was amazing. It's also a great place to people watch as all the hip & stylish are here.

OMG!!! I just discovered this restaurant & it's excellent. The food was tasty & we received very soon after ordering. The drinks we ordered was amazing. Big thanks to our waitress/bartender Anna for her sweetness, service & conversation. Make sure to visit. 10/10

Trop cher pour ce que c'est.
Mauvaise gestion des réservations, la table n'était pas prête lorsque nous sommes arrivés, longue attente.
Nous étions une table de 11 pour un anniversaire donc nous avons pris le brunch à 45$.
Le 1er plat était bon mais la suite a été catastrophique (gaufres au poulet, oeufs Bénédicte & pancakes). La gaufre avait le goût de poisson, l'agneau avec les oeufs dégueulasse & les pancakes très secs.
Bref, je n'y remettrai pas les pieds.

I was expecting more. The terrace wasn't as nice as the main floor, although the service was good. For a brunch, you'd typically expect at least a few fruits on the plate-but that wasn't the case. I was surprised to be served such an empty-looking dish. Unfortunately, I didn't really enjoy the taste, even though I'm usually a big fan of shawarma & Lebanese food. Overall, I found the quality & the price didn't match. I don't think I would give it another try.

The food & service were great, but the seating was disappointing-despite expecting shade on the balcony (awning was present but not deployed), the group was placed in direct sun. Didn't make a fuss because we had guests, so we moved seats. The online reservation system does not respect privacy: we did not opt-in to marketing when reserving, but we still received a follow-up email asking for feedback. The unsubscribe link appears to be an ad-tracker (blocked by Ublock) which makes it evil spam to me. I left this review directly, not using the ad-tracking link in the email.
