    I wish this restaurant was in another location. The parking is hugely challenging. That being said we were greeted warmly. The vibe slightly warehouse chic but warm. We had excellent service by Stephane who was friendly, helpful and made the experience that much more enjoyable. She had a small salad. I had the octopus to start. Tender and wonderful flavor. She had the cod which was light and so well done. Thoroughly enjoyed. I had the osso bucco with risotto. Clearly a huge winner. Every bite was sensational. The veal was tender and flavourful. The bone narrow delicious and the risotto just right. Only the place prevented me from licking the plate...lol. a huge wow! Dessert was selected by my companion which I forgot. Food is spectacular

    What a wonderful experience we had at your restaurant. The food is top notch, the service fantastic (Amanda, you rock), and the atmosphere is chique and warm. I recommend getting a seat in front of the kitchen and watching them work! It's mesmerizing! We were there on Nov 15 and had a fantastic time. The goat cheese ravioli was so rich in flavor. The Tuna Sashimi was amazing. The honeydew sauce that went with it was a pairing that I have never had and I'm so glad I chose it. The Duck Margaret and Braised short ribs were so tender. The bread pudding and that dollop of chocolate deliciousness on it was to die for. The Drinks were fantastic. Definitely getting another f-in bon Negroni next time I come. Thanks for a great night ❤️
