We had reservations for 1:30 pm. Brunch should have a table turnover of 45-60 mins. We waited 30 mins for someone to take our drink order & over 1 hour to receive our food. The service was very inattentive & cold. I couldn't enjoy the food because of the service.
Not a fan of the overcooked steak in my sandwich that I was told by the manager is'medium' & the burnt bread. At least they removed it from the table & bill.
The duck confit French toast was nice but I would tell them to make a home made cheese sauce rather than cheese whiz.
The karaag comes from a store bought bag. I would avoid.
Had a great time here! The food was great. We had the udon duck confit & the cheesy udon with beef. They were both very good plates, good portions (took some leftovers home). The duck was a little on the dry side but still very good. The drinks are so good! We had a strawberry mojito & an amaretto sour. Excellent. Waiters were super nice. It took a little while for our food to come, however.
All in all I would recommend!
Très bon restaurant! J'en suis à ma 3e visite & j'apprécie particulièrement le fait que le menu change au fil des saisons, ce qui permet de découvrir de nouvelles saveurs. La nourriture y est tout simplement excellente tout comme les cocktails. Une adresse que je recommande sans hésiter pour ceux qui cherchent un très bon repas dans une ambiance agréable.
Nice place for a more chic night out with friends or date, sort on the mid tier pricing when it comes to Japanese food, but the food can be a little hit or miss.
Have had the tsukement & Khao Soi dipping ramen before & it was delicious, definately some of my favorite from them, their duck is always really good as well.
Sushi fish is fresh, rice is done ok.
Was a little dissapointed this time with the katsu steak, the'self grill' new to the winter menu, it's quite minable. There's not much meat & the coating is rather flavorless & falls apart, it was also quite oily & moist so there was no texture to it. The sauces are ok, the miso butter is delicious, otherwise the'soy wasabi' doesn't really taste of much besides light soy sauce, the rest is just wakfu mayo.
Stylish decor, amazing food, helpful staff. Always a pleasure visiting this bar. Drinks are unique & tasty. Prices are very fair too, so your visit there leaves you in a very good mood.
Le udon au curry au crabe… Wow c'était délicieux!!!! Mes amies ont aussi pris le udon carbonara, vraiment bon aussi. Belle ambiance, on a eu une excellente soirée!
Arrived at 17:30 on a Wedensday evening. Resto was completely empty. Was told by short, long-haired host that he could only give us the tiniest table beside the plates/napkins trolley, everything else was booked. We accepted, although we shouldn't have. 2 hours & $200 later, the restaurant was only half full. Thanks to the host for judging us to be unimportant guests who only deserved the worst table in the house. No comment on the food since I was very irritated by our mistreatment, makes the meal much less enjoyable.
Won't be returning.
It was fabulous. Noon on a Monday; there were only 8-10 other customers enjoying their lunch - so peaceful (more came in as we ate).. 70's music playing quietly in the background (our generation-we loved it). I loved my salmon tartare - delicious. He had the duck salad, which he also enjoyed. Our server was great. When we told him how much we enjoyed the music, he said it was his personal favorite golden hit's list. He said it was a totally different place in the evening - the joint would be hopping! I will definitely go back - but only for lunch.
