   We were seated in a booth near a cutlery station and the noise from the clinking cutlery was very disruptive. We thought the charcuterie should have cheese on it. We had to ask for extra toast and bread to accompany our beef tartare, as it only comes with two small pieces. The chocolate Yule log was not replaced. We would have preferred an a la Carte menu. Shouldn’t be forced to order what we don’t want - and the reservation booking did not make it clear it was going to be price fixe. Service was excellent.

   I was not aware this was a set menu - the website and open table did not mention. My friend is pregnant and the items on the menu were not pregnancy friendly. And the ones that were, were NOT worth the cost of the set menu. Disappointed. Food was good but not great

   The CANARD RÔTI and mushroom soup were excellent—definitely worth coming back for the duck! The foie gras was average, but the GRAPEFRUIT GIVRÉ dessert was delightful. Big thanks to the restaurant for the complimentary cake to celebrate our anniversary—such a thoughtful gesture!

   Third time here - we like to do the Sunday brunch once a year with the kids around Christmas time. This year was a little disappointing. We menu was more lunch oriented than brunch, and we had a hard time understanding our server. Long waits to take our order, clear the table, etc. The pain perdu was good but the lobster crepes somehow didn’t really taste of lobster. Overall, disappointed.

   King salmon was a highlight, perhaps the best we've ever had. Hamachi appetizer was also spectacular both visually and on the palate. Great cocktails and wine list with knowledgeable bar tender and sommelier rounded out a great experience. highly recommended.

    Overall great food and ambience, but the service was lacking. Some things I was not a fan of: - Sommelier did not provide any recommendations or preferences. Usually sommeliers are chatty and love to talk about their offerings, but this one looked uninterested and we really had to drag recommendations to pair with our food. Maybe an off day? I don't know. - I asked to pack all our leftovers, but they had tossed everything. We had quite a bit of leftovers and this restaurant is not cheap...
