Boehmer just never misses! Whenever I have a high stakes dinner (aka foodie friends from London) this is my goto. Not only is the food always spectacular, it's just a ton of fun with engaged and energetic staff and a beautiful, spacious environment where I can just there with the people I'm with no matter how full or busy it is.
BoehmerResponded on October 12, 2024

This is a very good bistro style restaurant, bright and spacious with wonderful art, located on the amazingly busy part of Ossington Ave, not far north of Queen. We sat outside under the street awning to watch all the activity, and had superb oysters, and very good mains, roasted chicken and branzino, and a very good French burgundy to go along. Staff, especially Adly Gawad, the renowned server who was a delight and Vicki the exuberant sommelier. At heart it remains a bistro in feel and menu, but we had a delicious and most enjoyable evening. Paul Boehmer is plainly a very talented chef, and his staff and venue serve as a wonderful canvas for his creations. Highly recommend.

We waited for apps for 1 hr 15 min. They said they would be coming out in “a couple of minutes” 45 minutes after waiting. But they never arrived so we left. I was disappointed since I went here before and the food was really good.
