It was just an okay experience. The food was good, but for the price point, I would have expected much better service. We sat at the bar and the could not really tell who was our server, or where they could be found. There was no water refills or anyone coming by to check on us, and ordering the food and getting the bill took a very long time as we had to flag the employees down. The bartender seemed to have provided prompt service and entertainment such as water refills/ordering to the couple beside us who had ordered an entire bottle of wine, but barely spoke to us and barely acknowledged our existence (hence why we did not know who was our server). For the $100/pp price point (including drinks) definitely wouldn’t come back again.

Beware of making reservations at this restaurant. I made a reso for Saturday night and ended up getting sick with the flu. The restaurant doesn't open until 5 PM and you cannot cancel on open table the day of. I called just after 5 PM to cancel due to being sick and was met with extreme rudeness by the host. They told me I would be charged 40 dollars per person for missing the reso even though I was sick. This morning I checked my credit card statement and was charged 80 dollars. This is completely unacceptable. I will never be coming here and recommend you do not unless you like unhospitable people.

Phenomenal meal from start to finish, the cocktails, appetizers, mains and desserts were all excellent. The service was fantastic, and I would t hesitate to recommend this place to anyone who enjoys good food!

This is a great place to go hang out and have a drink, but the food falls short of expectations. One dish was too salty, another was undercooked, not the level of cooking you are led to expect from the excellent service or the high prices. Perhaps there have been some changes in the kitchen?

Very nice room, we enjoyed the drinks and ambiance. Food was very disappointing. The cassoulet lacked seasoning and flavour - really underwhelming for the price. We also had the steak frites - fries were barely warm and not crispy. The bavette was not cut properly against the grain, which kind of blew my mind. Our appetizers really did not impress either (we had the Chicories Salad and a baked cheese app that was a special). Sometimes, you simply order wrong dishes or happen to visit on an off night. This restaurant seems to excellent reviews so I'm not sure what the issue was. Steak frites and cassoulet should be sure bets. Regardless, I don't think we'll be back soon.

The staff were very attentive and the food was excellent. A bit pricey. Pasta dishes were minimum $30. The ability to hear each other was lovely and we felt very well served. The menu isn't particularly imaginative, but everyone had something different and it was all delicious. Even though it was expensive, would definitley go back , as there is a lot to recommend.

Food is pricy but 100% worth it. The duck was amazing and the pasta to die for. We shared a few dishes between the two of us and were full. 10/10 would recommend this place to anyone wanting to have a nice date with great food.

Hello! Lovely dining experience, tasty meals, good service and nice decor. One odd thing though. I always leave cash for the tip as I remember from my days in the hospitality industry, it is always better to have money in your pocket, rather than wait for the credit card companies forward you the funds. As such, I put zero tip when using my credit card for payment. The server came back to the table after I paid and asked some puzzling questions, how did I enjoy the meal, were dishes to my liking, any suggestions as to how to improve the experience? I was quite satisfied and said so. He then asked why I had not left a tip.] This, I felt, was quite cheeky since it is up to the customer to decide if they want to leave a gratuity. I had left a suitable amount of cash for the tip and showed him the bills. It might be a good idea to speak to the server about this point, other patrons might not react so calmly as I did. Many thanks, Best regards.

Food was good though expensive and not really what would be expected of Michelin star restaurant. Have had equally good food lots to places. Service lovely, attentive and friendly. Cosy, warm atmosphere.

We arrived for our 8:45 reservation and seated very quickly. Staff were so friendly and accommodating for us. The food all came very fast and was so tasty! Will definitely be coming back!

The food was lovely, and the substitutions for meat dishes in the Valentine's set menu pleased my Vegetarian partner. Service was friendly and first rate. Parquet is also a really fine room. Everything was great on this second visit for us.
