Interesting fresh take on southern french food. Great service and cocktails. Have visited 5+ times. 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.
This restaurant is a fantastic choice for lunch. They offer a small but well-made selection of items. We arrived early at 11:30 and the place was quiet, but it started to get busier as we were leaving. It seems like it may not be a popular lunch spot yet. The jambalaya and collard greens were excellent and perfectly prepared. The ambiance was cool and suited the neighborhood.
This restaurant is not your typical dine and dash spot. Take your time and savor the original and flavorful dishes with friends. The relaxed pace is worth the wait, with creative menu items that will leave you wanting more. We can't wait to return and try more options.
Excellent neighbourhood option. We walk by this place all the time, but it never seems to be open for dinner (now I know its only Thurs-Saturday). I know it is a hopping place for weekend brunch, but wanted to try out their dinner menu. <br/ <br/ We ordered the trout slow cooked short ribs. Everything tasted delicious and the price was very reasonable for top quality food (at $16 per entree). The trout was cooked to perfection with a side of horseradish potatoes (not overpowering at all, just a hint of fresh horseradish). The short rib was braised beautifully, falling off the bone, and paired with Israeli couscous. For desert we had a carrot cake that was dense and wonderfully spiced. <br/ <br/ The owner and chef stopped by the table to chat with us, he was friendly and definitely passionate about his cuisine. His business really relies on neighbourhood support, and I hope he succeeds because our meal was great!<br/ <br/ If you are looking for a place for dinner, venture east of Keele, you will be pleasantly surprised and delighted you came.
