    Lovely atmosphere. Great friendly staff. Our meals came quickly. They were excellent helping with my food allergies. Just a bit noisy music - a little too loud to be able to talk to everyone.

    Food was great and so was the service and ambiance. Very nice place. Was there for happy hour, so obviously it was a little loud but not unpleasantly loud. Would definitely go back.

    Great service, good food, but the tables are way too close and the place extremely noisy. The tables are so tight and close that our servers knocked our glasses over twice trying to put down and pick up the food. Not the finest experience, but they were doing their best considering the setting! They were very kind and attentive to our needs which was good.

    Not impressed, we had a reservation and when we walked in, we were just told to grab a seat, while the rest of our party was told the same, our reservation name wasn’t taken - very disorganized. The food was not at par, the salad in the fattoush was not fresh at all and the Richard Lewis sandwich waw very cold. Pasta salad bland and freezing. Overall the food wasn’t great compared to its saint Laurent location. Wouldn’t recommend.

    Excellent atmosphere and vibe. We had freshly squeezed OJ Mimosas that were incredible. The smoked salmon avocado toast was delicious and massive portions. Finished the meal with an amazing Carmel latte and matcha latte. Great service and fast delivery of food. A++++

    Really nice brunch place to eat in downtown. The food was really good and flavourful I wish the sitting table weren’t too close to each other, it was tight and no privacy. Overall nice place

    Whilst the food and waiter service was good, the management service and control was disgraceful. We booked and arrived on time at 7pm. After placing our order and receiving our first course, we waited 30 minutes to then be told they had run out or what we ordered and only had one serve of the each of the two meals we ordered. We were told the remaining serves of those dishes would be ours, but we would need to order something else. After waiting almost another 45 minutes, we were told the last of those two dishes had just been given to someone else. Apart from not getting what we were promised, the manager wouldn't even take the control and deliver tyhe messages himself, but rather kept sending the poor waitress to do what he should have taken control of. Not going back again

    Very nice ambiance and decor. It was a very nice place to go after work. The service was a bit slow and would recommend to have appetizers that are easier to share amongst multiple people, but overall good experience.

    We get there on time, an employee informs us there is a 30-40 min wait time to get dishes due to staff shortage. We sit down and wait for a waiter, which never came in the 20 min we waited without a menu or glass of water. We tried to get a waiter’s attention on several occasions to no avail, so we left.

    We waited 40 min for coffee that never came. When I approached the manager, he was defensive and rude. A huge waste of our time-walked out after 45 minutes with no drinks or food. They didn’t even fill up our water glasses!!

    We found the area and location perfectly placed , the restaurant has a peaceful zen feeling . The waitress seemed new at her job and there was some lack of attention The wine we ordered was not available We asked for some bread she did not mention she was going to charge us 10$ for two grilled pitas We had the cod and the salmon Both basically presented the same way on top of salad . Cod had some artichokes Salmon had fingerling potatoes, like 3 or 4 on a separate fish Seasoning was lacking Salmon was cooked perfectly but the cod was overdone and tasted rubbery The staff and chef all looked very young Hopefully they improve service and dishes but will not be returning

    Good meals but very slow service. There was insufficient indoor ventilation, we all smelled like cooking after our meal. I’m not going to eat indoors again here for now.
