Amazing place in little burgundy. Middle Eastern influences every dish, & they are carefully created where flavors really come in harmony. Service was fantastic. Waitress was attentive, kind, & efficient throughout. The management also checked in to see if our needs were met, of course they were. The food. The food is what you come here for. To say Amir but elevated would be an insult. Each plate has its own charm, from shareable appetizers to hearty course portions, you have it all. The pita bread freshly served. The wine list for red can use a bit of work, to match more coarse meat pairings. But overall still a great dining experience. The cocktails were scrumptuous well as the shots on the house. Finally the atmosphere was inviting, chic, & sexy. Will come back again for a fourth time shortly. A+++

Love the food here. Well presented dishes, tasted so good ! The staff are very lovely & friendly! The ambience is so chic! So much action to sit at the bar ! Highly recommended place for a Fun date, or group of friends Also I personally found at the table are family friendly for brunch too. Cons : Coffee ☕ is not that good ! Again it's not a place to go there to have coffee. Well at least, I hope they would get someone to really learn how to make coffee would be a plus.

+ Employées courtois, agreables & enthousiastes a servir. +/- Stationnement avec service valet 15$ - Menu pas clair porte a confusion des commandes.

Pamela & Ian provided us with the best service. We went two nights in a row, had two completely different meals, & enjoyed both equally. The quality, speed & preparation of the meals were unforgettable.

Went for a dinner reservation with friends & we all shared our plates. They were all amazing, especially the filet mignon brochette! Nice chic restaurant & overall we had a great experience.

On était un groupe, donc le menu était à 55$ par personne. Vraiment grosse quantité de bouffe c'était vraiment parfait! Je recommande pour les gros groupes.

Really good service but way overpriced. $165 per person for dinner! We didn't even have 3 courses - we shared a starter. Wouldn't return or recommend I'm afraid.

Nous avons passé un magnifique moment, servis par Pamela. Nous avons pu découvrir de très bons cocktails grâce à ses recommendations puis de très bons plats, le plat de dumpling, le loup de mer ansi que l'agneau. Nous les avons partagé à 3 & avons pu être rassasié. C'était notre première fois là-bas & nous le recommandons, demandez pour Pamela lorsque vous réserverez au téléphone. Une superbe soirée de À à Z, des cocktails au dessert.
