    The food was spectacular. Only drawback were some clientele were vaping on the patio and the smoke was drifting back to us.

    Service and food was wonderful, but it is unfortunately located close to a very loud club (which is out of their control). I would suggest the restaurant at least turn off their own music so there is not too much noise overall.

    I love this place! Their cocktails are so well done, food is amazing. The vibe and ambiance is perfect. I recommend their Smokey old fashioned, espresso martini and the château briand steak board for 2. The staff is so friendly and the service great.

    Food was not worth the price point, seats are extremely close to others, music was so loud I couldn't hear anything more than 30cm away from me while eating. Cool plants though.

    The food vmwas very good, although many menu items unavailable. Our service was exceptional. I wish I had gotten her name, because she was great! The space was a little too dark for my liking and the music way too loud- we were shouting to communicate. But overall it was a good experience. I would go back.

    First of all I would like to say that the service was incredible at somewhere. They really made us feel at home and we’re very attentive. It was pretty cold but they brought several heaters so we could enjoy the patio ambience which was amazing. Super Instagramy and really fun to enjoy. Food however was a real let down. While the food was very tasty I would say that it was less than advertised. We had two orders of the trifoe pasta and between the two dishes had a total of 5 shrimp (1 in 1, 4 in the other) as well as 1 cherry tomato between the two dishes. We also had duck boa buns and lamb which were both very good (no complaints)! Overall we really enjoyed our experience but would probably only go back for drinks (which were incredible). The aromatherapy was delicious and I’ll drink anything with empress in it.

    Food and drinks are great, little pricey but value is there. Not rating 5 stars as I asked for some parmesan to go with my pasta and they wanted to charge me $3 to have parmesan on my pasta after the pasta itself already cost $26 and a cocktail $18.

    Delicious food, I definitely recommend the duck bao buns and Trofie pasta, as well as cinnamon pastries. All were fantastic! The only drawback was we were given patio seating and the heaters kept turning off and it was a bit cold outside. Otherwise, great experience.

    Overall good. Disappointed at the downgraded menu without a heads up as most of the items my date was interested in were not available. Bunch of the clase azul bottles with the flowers on display were knocked over which isn’t a deal breaker but does ruin the ambience. Some of the ceiling lights weren’t working either which also sucked. Overall would go again. Hopefully the full menu is available.

    The food and service was excellent. My friends and I got the tuna tacos, sliders, dumplings, calamari and the risotto. Each dish was so tasty. The server was extremely kind and patient with us when we were deciding what we wanted. The bartenders were also so nice as well. The place has a great atmosphere and the energy is so lively. I’m so excited to go back and bring some more friends with me!

    Food was good. We took three appetizers (calamari, octopus and the dumplings). We enjoyed them. Drinks were alright as I drink basic stuff and my gilfriend took a pitcher of sangria. The downside of our experience was our waitress. When you order a pitcher the waiter should pour the first glass, which she didn’t. She didnt seem like she wanted to be there. We would give the place a second shot but for almost 300$ before de 20% tip, We were expecting a better service. As we left, we passed by her and she didn’t even say goodbye which ended our experience with a sour taste.

    The outdoor terrace was dirty and loud. We were greeted with “you have 90 minutes”. Cocktails were good. Food was ok but felt like fast order - thick sticky sauces on too large quantity. The charcuterie and cheese were very good. Service was good enough. Overall, perhaps should be an appetizer spot for underaged drinkers. Not for adults.

    Chloe was an outstanding server who had a huge impact on my wonderful experience. Chloe took the allergy at the table very seriously and went out of her way to ensure there was no cross contamination. Above that she hit all the boxes for being a fantastic server, I hope to have her again! Thanks Chloe !!

    I'm afraid it was not good a visit. Fries were cooked from frozen, no seasoning, no truffle taste. 30 min waiting for any food appear on the table, and there were only a few other tables busy. Waitresses were running around a lot but not as efficient.

    Even though we had reserved inside the restaurant we found that it wasn't too cool out so we opted to eat on the beautiful patio. They have heaters and a top which they can roll on if need be. Towards the end of our dinner it began to rain, so we were very grateful for that top which kept us dry. Food was lovely, good carte de vins. Eclectic and interesting menu. It was my birthday so they presented me with a dessert board which our whole group shared. This was unexpected and quite charming on the restaurant's part. I will go back to try more stuff on their menu.

    Went with a friend last night and we had excellent drinks and shared the dumplings (which were also excellent). Other tables' food also smelled amazing (in fact, we only came for drinks but had to try food after seeing/smelling it). Very instagram-able interior, and my friend saw the back patio and said it also looked like a great vibe. Only thing was that it took forever for our server to come back to us between giving us our first drink and to order our second drink plus food. We were however topped up with water repeatedly in between. Would recommend and will return to try more of their food!

    We went there for our 11th wedding anniversary. We were told we had 1.5 hours because they had a big party. Part of the party was already there. It was loud and the music was loud. It took over 30 minutes to get our drinks. The drinks were tasty and food was good but the service was slow. We couldn't even order dessert because we ran out of time due to the very slow service. It wasn't how we wanted to celebrate our anniversary...

    Le service était horrible. La serveuse a meme été jusqu’à vider l’eau de nos huître directement à nos pied sur la terrasse. Pour la nourriture, je crois que c’était une très mauvaise journée pour l’équipe de cuisine. Problème de cuisson, sans parler du mélange de tomates sécher et de confiture de fraise sur la charcuterie. Au moins si il y aurait eu un peu d’amour dans leur plat

    Somewhere has a lovely patio and is clearly a popular/trendy spot, but when it comes to food, not sure if it was an off night for the kitchen but it was passable at best. And slow. The cheese plate had generous portions, but consisted of 4 aged/hard cheeses and could have benefitted from a bit of variety (and maybe some from local producers). "Seasonal pickles" were gherkins from a jar. The duck buns got good reviews, though. My steak was not a particularly nice cut, it was tough (the dull steak knife was not up to the challenge) and under-seasoned, as was the smashed potato (nice texture on that though). My dining companion's blackened shrimp skewer was blackened on the outside but cold and almost raw. My other friend's shrimp pasta included 4 lonely smallish shrimp. Drinks are pretty outrageously expensive but good. I think we might have been reasonably happy going there for drinks and appetizers, but overall it was pretty disappointing (and overpriced) meal.
