While the food was good not great….. the awkwardness of no music or sound was completely off putting. When paying as much as they charge you should offer the entire guest experience.
The duck confit has been my favorite for years. I haven't gotten out much lately and had been craving this. The price has gone up, which is to be expected. The dish I received was nothing like what I expected. The change in quality and quantity is absurd. The duck was very overcooked, so overcooked it had a crunchy layer on the bottom. There was barely any sauce. There used to be so much sauce with such flavor. There were 3 tablespoons worth of crunchy burnt on the top mashed potatoes. The celery was so stringy it could not be cut and was difficult to chew and eat. The flavor of the dish was okay but nothing special. I am extremely disappointed. I very much miss the old location it was so much more charming and the food was so much better. Even the bread was not as good.

We went to this place on our anniversary. I got the baked Rattatouise and my wife got the Lobster Spagetti. Both great! Service was great as well.

Very disappointed I came in with a group of 8. We have to be sad at the bar until we could get a table.
We are dressed nicely in a very respectable group we were there for approximately 30 seconds before the manager came over and said I need all butts and seats right now.
I don't know if she does preschool in the morning and Django at night but we took our wallets and left the building.

Django is a solid go-to. On this occasion, our server was inattentive and slow. That's the first time we've experienced this issue. Normally, everything clicks. Not this time.

Had a great time celebrating my anniversary at the Django. We ordered the soup for the day, ratatouille, poutine, Brussell sprouts and crème brûlée for dessert. It was delicious, will definitely come back to try more of their menu selection.

The oyster Rockefeller was pretty good, but the lamb soup tasted like hamburger to me; lamb is on of my favorite meats, unfortunately the soup just didn’t do it for me.
Being I went in for just an appetizer; I did not try any of the entrees, which all looked very interesting.
The wait staff was very pleasant and the chef was very personable & professional.
I will definitely give it another try; the oyster selection looked phenomenal & many people around me praised them.
Parking: One may have to park a few blocks away during peak hours or when they open at 4pm. But I wouldn’t let that stop me from eating there again.

We were here to celebrate my wife's birthday. Started off with a flight of oysters and scotch. The variety was excellent and that prompted us to get more of the oysters we enjoyed the most from the flight. My wife got the Salmon and she said it was one of the best she has at a restaurant. I had the duck and it was cooked perfectly. My wife also got a complementary dessert for her birthday.
The restaurant has a great atmosphere and we enjoy the decor. Staff was fantastic. A wonderful experience over all
