Really liked this place! We did the Let Us Cook for You menu. The cold seafood platter was one of the best assorted seafood platters I've had. All of the seafood was fresh and flavorful. We also had the pickled shrimp with aioli and saltines that was very good. The cold roast beef that you wrap with fries would not have been something I would have picked on my own, but it was a winner. The chef obviously knows more than me. The only thing that was good, but not great, was the half roast chicken. And the desert patery with ice cream (not sure of the exact name) was excellent. Not easy to get a res here, but definitely worth the effort.

Absolutely love this place! I went here to celebrate my birthday and I was pleasantly surprised by the food, and especially the service.

FOOD ?: we ordered the Plateau, the escar-roll, the half chicken and the trout. Everything we received exceeded our expectations. The razor clams, oysters, pickled shrimp were my favorite from the tower. The rolls is very unique, we’ve never had anything like that before and we enjoyed it very much. My bf said the trout is the best that he’s ever had. The uni from the plateau was a bit underwhelming and that’s my least favorite of everything we had that night. Oh and the pear tart train - a must order you like warm dessert.

SERVICE: the staff is sooo attentive! I used to work at a 4-star resort so I’m very critical of this. Everyone who came by our table was so hospitable, and the service was quick. Shout out to Dimitri(?) for noticing that both my bf and I are left handed, re-set the table accordingly. We felt very taken care of.

Thank you for a great bd dinner

TLDR; Good food, BUT terrible service, they need new staff.

My Loup is a restaurant with great potential. The forethought that went into each of the dishes is apparent and definitely appreciated. The skate cheeks and 32 oz ribeye were some of the best. The touch of the pickled shrimp served alongside oysters helped to elevate a typical oysters on a half shell (they were sweet a fresh oysters as well).

HOWEVER, the service was atrocious. When I say this, I felt more seen and heard at a fast casual restaurant like Olive Garden than I did at My Loup. When our reservation wasn't marked down (maybe it wasn't the restaurants fault, but who knows) we asked to see if we could get a table after the first set of covers. After giving them our contact info. and being told that they would contact us as soon as the outdoor table was available, we waited the quoted hour, never recieved a call/text, and returned to My Loup to find a new set of folks sitting at the table promised to us. We were then told that it would an additional hour (5:45pm initial arrival to now 7:30pm push back). Finally after 1.5 hours, we were seated at 7:15pm, after a snippy remark from the Host about it being "15 mins earlier than the quoted hour" - which was completely unneccesary, and we were trying to keep the air friendly too.

Service during dinner was no better. Our servers were not attentive at all and seemed to want to leave our table as soon as possible, almost like they were afraid of us ordering something from the menu. And yes there were a multitude of different people serving us. At the end, we had to go inside just to get the check due to the lack of attentiveness from the staff.

Part of me wonders if it was a race issue, or if it was because we didn't arrive in a suit and tie. Who knows? Terrible that this is the reality of the front of house for a Chef who's making delicious cuisines.

We had been dying to try My Loup, and boy, was it worth the wait! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted by a friendly host who offered to grab us drinks while we waited a few minutes for our table. He was extremely knowledgeable about the spirits and cocktails on offer and gave us some excellent recommendations.

Once seated, we were immediately impressed by the decor—and the attentiveness from all the staff, not just our server. We tried the pickled shrimp and the scallops with pepper vinaigrette, both incredibly tasty! This was followed by one of the best bites of the night, the Foie Gras (my personal favorite), while my husband loved the Green Garlic Escar-roll. For our main, we shared the Lamb Shoulder, which was incredibly tender.

For dessert, we split the Pear Tarte Tatin with a complimentary salted caramel and green apple ice cream, which left me scraping the dish—it was amazing!

I cannot recommend My Loup enough! The attention to detail, from start to finish, and the unique dishes and cocktails are top-notch.

We opted for the chef’s tasting menu, and it was nothing short of spectacular. Each dish was thoughtfully curated and packed with flavor, and we couldn’t resist adding a few more plates to our order—every bite was worth it!

The restaurant has a cool, unpretentious vibe that makes you feel at home. The staff were not only attentive but also incredibly fun and cool, which made the evening even more enjoyable.

Don't eat lunch before you go! An amazing spot for creative cocktails, inspired starters and entrees. Desserts weren't my favourite but I was stuffed on amazing food by then anyway. Very attentive staff.

Really delicious food. The plating might not be the fanciest, but each element is essential to the dish. If the lettuce were removed from the crab, or the basil missing from the pickle jar, then the dish would be lacking something. Even the hardboiled egg adds texture. In my opinion, that’s the point that a creation is “complete”. No extraneous components.

The flavors are strong yet balanced. The aioli’s super garlicky yet doesn’t overpower the shrimp. The dishes have plenty of acidity for brightness, yet nothing screams sour. My Loup also achieves balance by playing around with contrasts: hot and cold, creamy and crunchy. Good stuff.

Service and atmosphere are wonderful. Waitstaff were really helpful in deciding what to order. I hear they’ll help tailor your meal if you go for the carte blanche.

The food, vibe , atmosphere and staff are incredible. Special shout out to Alyssa for creating an awesome menu for us and a great playlist.

Pro tip: if you're dining her with a date, bar seating is the way to go!

Came all the way from Boston to celebrate a birthday and we chose the right place for courses. Each course was filling and absolutely delicious — was very impressed by how each one was cooked. The staff was incredible and the food was very much worth the price. They also change the menu everyday so I would love to come back. 11/10

Full stop a top 5 meal I've had this past year. We loved the "let us cook for you" option and were thrilled by every dish we had.

Do not pass go, do not collect $200, just go directly to My Loup for what will likely be one of the best dining experiences you ever had. Sit at the bar and do the tasting menu i.e. let them cook for you. Tell them anything you absolutely don't want and also any must haves and then sit back and enjoy. I highly recommend the pickled shrimp as a must have. It is divine. Enjoy!

I recently called My Loup to make a reservation for a group of six, and I was incredibly disappointed with the policy they enforced. I was informed that for a party of six, they would not allow us À la carte. Instead, they require a mandatory $110 per person charge, which includes a pre-set menu.

This is a huge turnoff for potential customers, especially those who prefer to have the freedom to choose their meals. It feels restrictive and honestly, it made me not want to dine there at all. Forcing a high minimum charge and limiting menu options is not a customer-friendly approach, and it completely ruined my excitement about visiting this restaurant. Unfortunately, this experience has ensured that I won’t be considering them for any future dining plans. I would strongly suggest they reconsider this policy if they want to attract and retain customers.

This place exceeded expectations. We ordered a bunch small plates to share. Pickled Shrimp, Green Garlic Escar-Roll, Corn Croquette with Truffles, Hot and Cold Crab, and Smoked Eel Caesar were all tasty and fun dishes. Every bite was delicious. Service was impeccable and friendly. Table by the window offers awesome people watching. My Loup was an all around excellent dining experience. Can't wait to go back.
