I had escargot and was quite surprised for a French restaurant we were not provided with small snail fork to pull the meat from the shell, in addition the shell clamp was broken (too loose to hold the shell). The food however was good but could have been served warmer, everything was lukewarm. The wine prices were high (approximately $75 a bottle or $27 for an 8 ounce glass). The sofa seats were uncomfortable and far too low how the table height. Admittedly we arrived just on the tail end of the theatre going diners, but the toilets were dirty, one stall didn't have toilet paper and the floor was a mess, this was disappointing for a restaurant of this calibre. Overall the food was very flavourful, just a little pricey.

The host brought us each a small glass of sparkling wine to help us relax after the chaos of travel. Tried a La Bastille cocktail, and was impressed that it was not the sweet cocktails one usually finds on restaurant menus. My husband had the canard duck main course and I had the mushroom wild rice risotto. The food was delicious, and the only complaint I would have is that the portion of risotto was too generous as I could not finish all of it. However, I confess that I did want to save room for dessert. I had the apple pomme tart, while my husband had the one chocolate dessert on the menu he is an avowed “ chocoholic” . The desserts were great. The apple tart allowed the natural sweetness of the fruit to shine, and my husband was pleasantly surprised that the infusion of port wine in the chocolate dessert enhanced the depth of the chocolate flavour. I accompanied my dessert with a cappuccino which made for a perfect end to my meal.

The food and service were exceptional. If there was is one downside it is that the tables are a little close together, but it is a French Bistro so I suppose that should be expected. Enjoy!

My large group of 14 people dined in a private room at this restaurant. The service was excellent, with friendly and efficient servers who even made us laugh. read more My large group of 14 people dined in a private room at this restaurant.
