Her Mother’s Day food was not very good at all. The eggs were literally just cracked open on top of the eggs Benedict. Not one part had been cooked, which we had to send back.

We spent about 2 hours here and never felt rushed even though there we no available tables. We shared the tartar as an appetizer, the lamb and the Sable fish as mains. Each dish was packed with flavour, depth and cooked perfectly. The menu is limited to a few choices, however, doing a few dishes very well is preferred to many mediocre choices. Overall, the service was friendly without any hint of a pretentious attitude. This was our first time here, but it is on the list to return.

I love the Eden!! Their menu is much smaller but the food is delicious. I had their chocolate croissant thingy for dessert and it was fabulous. For main was Sable fish with broad beans. I could have made a meal of the beans and sauce alone. Soooo tasty. My friend had the pasta and said it was delicious.

Small menu but good choices. Hamburger was HUGE (double patty) and so yummy. I like it medium rare so that was perfect for me but if you want it more done, ask for it that way. We only ate one patty and took one home. Fries were freshly made and delicious.

We sat upstairs, overlooking the musicians and restaurant. Brilliant location for an active child! Delicious food. One star lost because the menu is always changing, so it’s disappointing to recommend a delicious item (smoked salmon caper salad), and then it’s disappeared from the menu!

The food was both interesting and very tasty. My friend has some food intolerances and they were handled very well. We arrived just as the band was finishing up. The noise level was okay. We sat upstairs so tall people provided a little entertainment.
