We have been regular customers at the old La Source and we were eager to check the new place. The location, close to the Grove St Path station, is less intimate and cozy that the Morris St location. No more terrace, of course, which was such an added value. This being said, much of the old furniture and décor have been transferred, which is a plus. The noise level is very low, which is a blessing nowadays, considering the blaring music in so many restaurants. The food was even better than before. I had the coq au vin blanc which was absolutely delicious. Service was attentive and friendly. Even though we will always miss the charm of the old La Source, we will come back to the new one.
