    Great ambience with the live music. The band was very engaging. Food was okay-ish. Not super special but then again we didn’t try their lamb chops / meat dishes. Mushroom risotto was bit bland. Salmon tartare could do with less raw onions. Octopus linguini was actually pretty good. Service was slow. It was a houseful so I guess understandable. The birthday girl got a dessert with a candle on the house. That was cute.

    We had a table on the upper floor, by a window. The floor was half full, so the ambiance was nice and we had privacy to talk. The view was nice. The service was appropriate and curteous. The food was good, but nothing to write home about. We had the rack of lamb and the chicken fillet and a bottle of Piaggia Il Sasso Carmignano 2020. Really good wine, even if a bit expensive at $110. Overall a nice evening.

    Such a joyful evening with my partner for our anniversary. We had Pascale as a server, who was just AMAZING - we asked so many questions and she was just so wonderful in answering and guiding us. The food was amazing and there was live music which provided great ambiance! So grateful and would definitely recommend!

    Very enjoyable evening. We were told our table reservation was for 2 hours, so be aware. The live music isn’t jazz on Sunday but was quite enjoyable. Remember to tip the artists. Cheese plate was delicious with cheeses from Charlevoix - the Hercules and the semi-firm blue were standouts, served with a fruit confit, nuts and caramelized onions. The braised lamb pappardelle left nary a morsel. The duck confit and accompaniments were very good (a nicely spiced cabbage and thin slices of potato over a delicious jus), although the duck was not as tender as could be, I suspect it was reheated- not a big deal for me- but needed a bit more heat time for the texture. It still came off the bone easily but a wee bit firm. Plenty of wine options by the glass in 5 or 8 ounce pours, and an appealing list of bottle options.
