| - Yum noms! My friend and I went last night, a Friday around 1230am.
Atmosphere:
Calm and intimate, but still good for groups as there was an top next to us and on the other side a couple. Its good for all types and all night. I love the setup for those ordering take out, you stay in the front section of the restaurant. If you're going to dine in, which we did, you walk through a glass door into the dining area. I think with the dark lighting and location on Queen street I expected and would have preferred some music. Perhaps des chansons francais aussi. Edith Piaf, Gregroie, Celene Dion?? Ha ha ha ne porte qui!
Food & Drinks
To drinks I ordered a medium hot chocolate. Nice presentation with a dollop of whip cream on top (something I personally could do without) BUT it tasted as chocolatey as my friends steamed milk with flavor and was served only moderately hot. This [my drink] was the biggest disappointment of the night. I mean geez, it's hot chocolate - err on the side of caution with too much chocolate and piping hot, not the opposite when its -10 out. My friend ordered steamed milk with strawberry flavor. She enjoyed it, and I can say it was what it said it was steamed milk with flavor.
The eats! We had had a filling dinner (see review for Paramount Fine Dining) so we knew we didn't each want our own crepes. We shared a classic crepe of strawberry and nutella. It was great. Only complaint if I have to have one, the strawberries were obviously not freshly cut so the mix of cool strawberries, room temp nutella melted by the warm crepe was not there and maybe some powdered sugar? But such a finishing touch is perhaps more of a personal preference, no?Admittedly we were probably the last table they sat around 1230 am so they were close to closing and who is going to cut up a batch of fresh strawberries for us? I'm not that famous yet.
I love that they [and their kitchen] are open late - 1am on Fridays/Saturdays = Huge bonus after leaving the surprisingly early closing area of yonge-dundas
Service
It was fine. I think the guys at the front area were more friendly than our particular waitress. But she got our drinks and food out in a timely manner and cleared our plates accordingly so nothing wrong there.
Bang for my Looney?
Yup! And the menu has numerous offerings that we decided after sitting down not too hungry that we had to come back and properly do the restaurant. I shall return! La semaine prochaine est trop tot? Non!
