    A great prix fixe value. Really enjoyed the steak, frites, and green salad with candied walnuts. Also had a fantastic glass of wine from their very good selection. Sarah's service and personality were formidable. Will return.

    A must try! Everything served was delicious. I got a French 74 cocktail and it was very good and citrusy. Will definitely be back and I’ll be trying the dessert next time.

    Steak was perfectly cooked and candle/warming plate was a nice touch for extra crispy pieces. Fries were some of the best I've had and the steak sauce we delicious for both meat and fries. Overall great experience.

    For 56 dollars you can eat steak, unlimited fries, salad and bread! Really great money’s worth and service was also lovely. The only thing is I let the restaurant know it was my boyfriends birthday but they didnt offer us anything even though I saw that other tables got a complementary dessert for their birthday. All in all I would still come back!!

    Steak was good but the salad, bread and fries were certainly store-bought. For $55 per person, it’s not worth it. Staff were great though!

    90 min time limit only works if the food comes out quickly, which is not the case. Felt rushed, no time for dessert. Salad bland. Food salty. Unfortunately not a memorable night. For $150 for dinner for two there are other great options in Toronto where you can take your time and connect with whoever you’re dining with.

    Quite pricey, fries were ok but not great. Service was very robotic and not personable. Steaks ordered rare were cooked very well. Probably one of those places you go once and then never again. They should perhaps lower the price and make unlimited fries and extra charge

    Steak was great, sucks that it wasn’t warm when it came out and the candle cooks it a little if you’re a slow eater, but it was the perfect colour! Fries are incredible! Couldn’t stop asking for more! The cheesy buttery sauce was incredible, I dipped my fries and steak in it! We got a bottle of moscato and it was perfectly sweet! We got the milles feuilles dessert but it wasn’t the best. Staff was friendly, owner seemed nice! Small cute place with great vibes! Definitely would go back! ($55 pp for the food, $12 for the dessert (Mother’s Day special), $70 wine bottle)

    The drinks were good. The salad was super refreshing. The fries were delightful when served hot. The steak was a bit fatty but still alright. Given it’s prix fix already, this resto is best set up to offer staff living wages and get rid of tips once and for all #notipmovement

    Overall, it was an a delicious and fun dining experience! My steak was MR just as requested that could have used just a teensy little more fat trim, both otherwise tasty with right amount of salt. The fries really were endless and fresh and salted to perfection! The house sauce was a perfect compliment to both the steak and fries. Menu could have a uncola non-sugar beverage and a non-alcoholic beer choice. Staff were attentive and friendly.

    Our experience here was fantastic! I was a little worried after reading some reviews, but our steaks were hot + flavourful and fresh fries were offered in abundance. The salad with its candied walnuts was incredible, too. We got the mad cow chocolate cake to celebrate a birthday and it was wonderfully decadent. Overall, a great birthday dinner!

    We noticed a lot of mixed reviews of this restaurant but we wanted to try it out for ourselves to see. We arrived a few minutes earlier than our reservation but they were able to seat us right away. The atmosphere was very cozy and intimate. We had a walnut salad to start which was yummy, and the steak we ordered was perfectly cooked and absolutely delicious. I really enjoyed the butter sauce but my partner decided not to have it with his steak. The fries did seem a little McDonald's/McCain-like as other people have mentioned, but we're a big fan of those so we still loved it. 😋 Our server, Evelyn, was just the sweetest person ever and really took care of us during our dinner. We didn't feel rushed whatsoever. Overall we really enjoyed our dinner and left the restaurant stuffed and happy, especially for the price you pay. We'd love to come back again! 😊

    The steak is to die for- cooked to your liking and melt in your mouth! And what’s not to like about unlimited French fries?! The desserts while not included in the prix fix menu are well worth it. Service was friendly and attentive, can’t wait to go back again!

    Honestly not that great. Very pushy about the out time even though we said it would be fine. Got a message mid way reminding us at this point the 4th time that we needed to leave by 7PM. Why couldn’t they just talk to us rather sending a message mid way eating? The server was great, tried her best to accommodate us. But was told that the kitchen was pushing her to send out food when we told her we didn’t want to. We didn’t know this until our food came literally 5 mins after we told her to go ahead and fire the order. Turns out the food was sitting in the window… already to be brought it he table after firing the order. Guess what, the was COLD when we received it. Obviously this took time away from our reservation because we had to send it back… even though we told them we were fine to leave by 7PM. We finished and paid out by 7:10PM. This could have been avoided if the kitchen wasn’t pushing the server to fire the food and it waiting in the window. Ya overall the service was bad, not worth the money.
