Had the duck confit frites which was served barely warm in a huge heaped mound of stuck together fries and a couples pieces of slim chipped duck. It was dry and flavourless. I followed with the chicken and steak waffle. Huge portion which would make a starving man happy but the steak was over cooked, not medium rare as suggested. The fried chicken was ok but the syrup and sweetness of the dish was way too much to stomach. The waffle became soggy and just to sweet for a main course dish. My friends ordered the short ribs and felt the same way about their dishes. We will not return which is sad because there was so much hope for this place

If you follow my reviews, you know I stay mainly in Toronto. This did NOT disappoint. Beautiful ambience, and a small menu - I love small menus. It means that these are really what they specialize in! We had as an appetizer the Pulled Pork Frites. If you go, trust me, get a plate, and dig it. Tremendous appetizer!!! We all decided to try the Chicken Waffles, and these were delicious. I brought home the leftovers - the portion was HUGE - and family devoured as well. I recommend the fried egg on top, as it just added to the flavour. A definite must try place, but book reservations, as it can get pretty busy.
