What Candace Raynor doesn't like about Sardine:
Dinner was yummy. However it arrived within minutes of ordering. Caesar was really bland and awful and also arrived to quickly. I like to enjoy my meal and experience, this restaurant doesn't want to let you. The mcdonalds of gourmet View all feedback. What Clare Schmeler likes about Sardine:
Excellent French restaurant with great location by the lake and beautiful indoor setting. The bar area is always busy. We've tried the oysters, tuna, steak frites, wood roasted chicken breast and Moules Frites, everything was wonderful. Dessert is exceptional too, highly recommend the deconstructed creme brulee with blueberry sorbet, it's perfection. Service always top notch! View all feedback.

Great spot, probably a great menu only serving brunch which was a bummer and poor planing on my part.
