Dined without a reservation around 7pm on a Wednesday night. When we arrived it was a busy night because of $1 oysters and a smaller sized restaurant. We waited for a table at the bar top and got one way before the time quote which was a nice surprise. The drinks were booze forward and sophisticated but very tasty, I tried the mike wazowski which was a floral tasting drink as well as the penicillin which had an unusually interesting Smokey after taste. My partner who doesn’t like to taste his liquor tried the hotel Nacional and he enjoyed it. For appetizers we got the calamari and it was cooked perfectly with what I can only imagine was house made tzatziki as it was the best I’ve had. Our mains came out perfectly timed and looking gorgeous. I got the steak frites medium rare and my partner got the lakeshore pickerel. My steak was cooked perfectly and was way bigger than I had initially imagined, it was also perfectly seasoned. The pickerel was the only reason this review has a 4/5 stars, as there seemed to be only about 3oz of pickerel on the dish and they were quite bland. On the menu it doesn’t state the protein portion size for this dish and my partner was dissatisfied. In the picture you can see my steak portion compared to his pickerel portion and featuring the penicillin cocktail. The price difference between the steak and pickerel was only $2.I wish I could give a shout-out to the bartender who helped us out and our server in the lounge but I didn’t get there names!! If your reading this, great service, service always elevates an evening out.

Great food, great service from our server Cora and all staff. Generous portions, I didn’t eat all day and I still had a box to take home.
As always, the food was delicious and well prepared. Wednesday buck a shuck oysters and charcuterie board is why I like going. It being a popular place to eat, the noise level can sometimes be a little loud but tolerable. The only complaint I've ever had is in the summer, the vagrants can sometimes be bothersome. Overall a great place to dine.

Appetizers were excellent. Ribs and salad. Tourtière was good but not amazing as it has been in the past. Seemed like the recipe has changed. Service was excellent. Our server took care of us without him being intrusive. All in all a very enjoyable evening before going home for a La Grotta Chocolate Sin Birthday Cake ?

We enjoyed sharing a dish of silky chicken liver mousse; beautiful flavour and texture with crostini. Also thought the gnocchi was very well prepared this evening; puffy little pillows of taste.

I continue to enjoy the "buck-a-shuck" Wednesday nights at PC. I recommend it to family and friends constantly. This particular visit was a "date" and the atmosphere made for a great experience. I work nearby and venture in whenever I can. The servers are friendly, attentive and caring. The food is good and and the value makes budgeting easier in these expensive times. Thank you to all the staff and kudos for your efforts.

We shared Peasant Cookery with an out-of-town guest. We enjoyed the baked brie appetizer special and our main courses. Felt like we stepped into a European restaurant. We appreciated the intimate setting as it quiet on a Tuesday evening.

My wife and I came here as part of Mocktail Week, and we tried the brunch. We had been here previously for dinner, but didn't even know they had a brunch! We were blown away by how good it was. We tried the bacon and brioche bun as well as the saskatoon french toast and loved both of them. The garlic aioli on the brioche bun and the whipped cream/mascarpone/maple combo on the french toast were amazing. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a new brunch spot!

I picked up their A Duck Walks Into A Forest poutine during La Poutine week for myself and a friend. We we're surprised and happy with the amount of toppings that were on it.The duck was very tender and delicious but not greasy. The chanterelle mushrooms were fantastic. The waffle fries weren't salty, nor was the gravy. All together, it was balanced nicely, just the right amount of salt. Nothing was overwhelming. It was practically perfect.We're pretty excited to try other items on their menu.

Excellent as usual. Very accommodating to us as we should up early for our reservation and they took it in stride as professionals do. Had the poutine which was quite special. Service was super as usual.

The ambience is nice but it's high ceilings carry the noise. The food is good but I was expecting great, so I was disappointed. The wine by the glass prices are ridiculous- the bottle price is more reasonable.
