Both dishes were delicious, as was the starters of Mac n Cheese balls, and the cornbread (divine! The cocktails were delicious, and quite affordable, considering the typical price of a drink in Toronto. The service was great, and I particularly love that I can walk from my house to here. Great restaurant in the hood!

My husband was in the mood for spicy food so I searched open table for some possibilities and landed on Roux. The food was excellent. Not knowing how big the portions would be we split an order of mussels in white wine sauce as an appetizer. While sharable, we could have each had something as it wasn't overly large. I had the special which was Arctic Char it was perfectly cooked and delicious. My husband had the jambalaya, which was spicy and exactly what he was craving. For dessert we shared an order of waffles with ice cream. Those were the best damn waffles I have ever eaten and I'm still thinking about them days later. We will definitely go back. There was a lot on the menu that looked great.

Beautiful ambiance, delicious small meals and perfect for a date or out for a casual lunch. Lively but moody. A must visit. Oyster bar is a must see.

I enjoyed my experience at this restaurant. The dishes were unique and the service was great. The Jambalaya, while not traditional, was delicious. read more I enjoyed my experience at this restaurant. The dishes were unique and the service was great.
