The rhubarb pairing just didn't work with the sweet bread offered and the fois gras. I had the steak Diane which was tasty but not substantial. My wife had the pork which she commented could have been made at home. Overall, given the price of the food, I would pass next time.

I was a little worried that I'd built up the restaurant in my mind based on reviews and anticipation, but we were not disappointed. Everything was great from the cocktails through to dessert. The menu is limited, but everything sounded so good, I don't think I could have handled more options! We each ordered different cocktails, appetizers, entrees, and shared a dessert, and enjoyed everything. If there was one area for improvement it would be to have one less table along the back wall to give just a little more space between tables. Would definitely go back.

I cant say enough good things about this wonderful and cozy restaurant. Our waiter was so personable- Chris, you made our meal all the more lovely. The food was simply outstanding. A beautiful combination of flavors and everything was cooked to perfection. The baked oysters were the most wonderful mouthful of flavors and textures to start our meal. The agnolotti were pillow soft and the lemon sauce was so good I finished what was left with a spoon. This will be my first stop for dinner the next time I come to Vancouver!
