Outstanding little restaurant. Very accommodating staff, especially Jaden. Food was expertly prepared and presented - absolutely delicious! A perfect experience!
Rebecca
Attention to detail (food and service) is impeccable. We went for a birthday dinner and they had a happy birthday note on the table upon arrival and our server gave a handwritten, specialized birthday note before we left. The food was delicious—they don't skip the thoughtful intention there either. Total perfection!

Overall beautiful space and courteous service. The dishes were intricate, but some of the items came out cold, especially the brisket, it was way too tough. Octopus was delicious! 🤤

I reserved the restaurant for our 12-year wedding anniversary. Staff was incredibly friendly and we were welcomed with a personalized note congratulating us on our anniversary. We did the tasting menu and were not disappointed by a single course. Also the drinks were fantastic. In the end, we had nothing to complain about and left completely satisfied and happy with everything.

As a foodie, this spot was absolutely delicious and a gem of the east end. The waitress was a delight - so kind and accomodating with atmosphere. The food was SO GOOD - the kind were you say « wow » after the first bite. I had the smoked salmon and potato pave - which was cooked to perfection - and my partner had the brioche french toast with foie gras, which was just the right amount of sweet, and combined with the foie gras was chef’s kiss. We are definitely adding this place to our usual rotation!
At my time of rating, the aggregate review on Google is 4.4, and that's what I would give ēst if I could. Overall a great experience, with a few minor things that take it down to a four for me.
Food-wise, the scallops and the lobster agnolotti were absolutely brilliant, and I'd recommend you visit here just to try them. The foie gras was good, the arctic char was good if a little underseasoned, the beef tallow fries mostly just tasted like regular fries, but were still good.
Drinks were so-so across the board. The Tiger's Eye was good though nothing extraordinary, and the Fool's Gold was a bit too sour for my fiancé and I. I asked about another drink - the Almost Famous - after this, noting to the server that we found the Fool's Gold too sour and that we wanted to make sure we ordered something less sour. She assured us this one would be a little sweeter and less sour, but it was just as sour as the previous drink. She asked us how it was, we told her the truth, and nothing was done about it. Not that anything NEEDS to be done, really, because no major mistake was made - but it's this kind of thing that keeps me from giving a restaurant a 5.
Atmosphere was pleasant if a little drab, but the booth tables are too close together. Service was otherwise excellent - we were never waiting, and dishes were delivered and cleared promptly.
Overall a worthwhile experience. I would just expect a little more from service and a little more wow factor from the food and drink for the price point.

This is an incredible gem. We had the tasting menu, ably assisted by server Rebecca who was knowledgeable and professional. The dishes were amazing and paired wines were well chosen. The details of each dish far exceeded our expectations. Thank you to the team who took care of us!

We had the tasting menu and wine paring and it was very delicious. All the food was very well done, beautiful plating, and very nice selections for the wine pairings. Would highly recommend.

Went for Summerlicious have wanted to go previously but things just got in the way. Well the Summerlicious 2025 lunch menu was spectacular - the only downside noisy eaters beside (not restaurant fault) knowing layout will request different table. Food was exceptional perfectly prepared and presented (given one diner had gluten allergy they accommodated), and it was a pleasure seeing an original menu - will return for a brunch and an evening meal. Two big thumbs up from me. Oh and they had a very nice house rose that went well with both appetizer and main. Portion sizes were correct.

Here for the Summerlicious. The food was good and the service was super friendly and attentive all night, which made the whole experience feel even better.
• Charred octopus: tender with a beautiful char. It was paired nicely with layered potatoes and bold flavours.
• Braised beef shortrib: ridiculously soft, and juicy. You can really tell it was slow-braised for 12 hours.
• Lobster agnolotti: buttery but not at all heavy, with the agnolotti cooked to perfectly al dente.
• Burrata with caviar: fun, creative, and super tasty. The waffle was a bit hard though.
• Steak tartare (off menu): solid and well-balanced, great texture.
Dessert wasn’t really for me, but everything else made up for it, and we will definitely come back to try the regular menu.
