They offer delicious salad bowl combinations and a chef's special dish of the day. I was impressed by their ability to incorporate surprise ingredients like pickled eggplant to create unique and tasty flavors.

The food was delicious, well-prepared, and offered a wide variety of options. They made sure to cater to our love of cheese by providing a diverse selection, and even brought in our favorite sparkling wine. I highly recommend this hidden gem! Two enthusiastic thumbs up!

Average pub food..frankly a bit disappointed given the location/setting. Service was adequate ..but not enough to win the day! read more Average pub food..frankly a bit disappointed given the location/setting. Service was adequate ..but not enough to win the day!

And as nice as it was it just didn't stand up to comparison. We started with an onion soup delicious but again not quite your Parisien classic. And then it was the platter. Whilst the components were all there charcuterie, dill, bread for a sharing platter they were in quite short supply. For the first time in Canada we felt the need for dessert as well as a starter which immediately made this quite an expensive meal out. Service was okay we felt at first as if we were an imposition although the staff did improve over time. Just not very welcoming.
