    Le Crocodile by Rob Feenie is as wonderful as it was before. The food is divine, the menu has many favourites along with new items and the service is always amazing. (Merci Alexander!) My only wish is to have vegetables served with my meal. I had the tenderloin in a gorgeous peppercorn sauce. Next time maybe I need to read the menu better to see if we should have ordered sides. It came with pommes frites but I wishes it had some vegetables. I also enjoyed the mushroom soup to start and my husband had the endive salad which looked impressive and the special Beef Wellington served with asparagus. For dessert we had profiteroles with generous chocolate sauce. 5 star experience! Merci beaucoup

    Service by Miles at the bar was outstanding. He instantly made me comfortable. When making recommendations he wanted to know my tastes to help point me in the right direction. He definitely succeeded. With minor adjustments, thanks to Miles, I had the Holiday Kaiseki. NOT ONE BAD BITE from beginning to end of these 7 courses. Fish and seafood, fresh and bright. Wagyu Steak just the right amount of fat. The dessert of eggnog mousse and apple filling. Do I feel guilty? Yes. But I’d do it all over again. A shouldn’t miss meal.

    I recently had the pleasure of hosting a business lunch at Joe Fortes, and I must say, the service provided by Tim and Heidi was truly exceptional. From the moment we were seated, both Tim and Heidi were attentive, professional, and ensured that every detail was handled seamlessly. Tim’s knowledge of the menu and wine list was impressive, offering thoughtful recommendations that perfectly complemented our meal. Heidi’s warm and personable demeanor created a welcoming atmosphere, making our guests feel comfortable and well cared for. Together, they worked in perfect harmony, anticipating our needs before we even had to ask. The food, as always, was outstanding, but it was the exemplary service from Tim and Heidi that elevated the experience to another level. Their professionalism and genuine hospitality reflect the high standards that Joe Fortes is known for. I would not hesitate to recommend this restaurant for any occasion and will certainly request Tim and Heidi on my next visit. Thank you for making our business lunch a memorable success!
