    What an amazing restaurant! We both had the « melt in your mouth » cod, which was a culinary experience in itself. Highly recommended!

    Top notch from the second you walk in. Tartare, the burrata , the lobster spaghetti and steak Frites were all excellent. My white Negroni with the big ice block was perfect. Service calm & casual attentive. My only complaint is my booth seat nearer front along wall kept moving and sliding which was slightly annoying overall 9.5/10. Will b back for sure. Fix the seat!

    The seafood platter as a starter was a meal in itself….. iceberg salad was excellent and steak and fries was more than the tow of us needed to eat. All dishes ordered were shared….

    We had the most amazing special occasion dinner. Upon arrival we were greeted by the GM who showed us to our table, while wishing us a happy anniversary. Tim, our server, brought us some bubbles to start, and we could tell that his professionalism and extensive knowledge would be a perfect addition to our experience for the evening. We ordered from the most well thought out cocktail menu (thank you Stephen Flood and staff) and enjoyed them in the most beautiful restaurant venue in the city. We started with the seafood tower, which was mind blowing, cold and fresh and well worth the money. We then had the corn and mascarpone agnolotti…UNREAL!!! Pillowy soft pasta and fresh corn…And the steak frites are the best in the city. Dessert was the chocolate brownie and the most perfect wine pairing one could ask for. Tim took such good care of us and we were able to rely on him for choosing our wines and helping us to make decisions on our food choices for the evening. It was our first time here, and we will most definitely be back. By far it was the best restaurant experience that we both have ever had. Thank you to all the staff for making our evening such a perfect night to remember.

    The receptionists and waitstaff were pleasant and the service reasonably attentive. Nice ambience and the owners had paid attention to noise / sound management, which was appreciated given the hard surfaces and height of the cavernous room. My guest was very happy with the duck, and said that the sauce was excellent. I had the steak / frites, which was also good, but the food arrived rather lukewarm, which was disappointing. The wine recommendations were very good. Overall a good experience, but pricey and not particularly remarkable.

    The best restaurant in the city - amazing food, great service, fantastic drinks, cool yet sophisticated ambiance… even the music (a lot of Rolling Stones) was banging. I frickin love this place.
