I think this French Bistro hit its peak in the nineties when moules et Frites were words understood only by those lucky enough to have gone through French immersion. But nowadays moules et Frites is about as foreign a dish as lasagna and no one is surprised to face it on a menu.
So, Pastis is good, but the decor is tired -- circa 95 -- and the staff are even more so. They have maintained the snobby French attitude they have had since the day the restaurant opened but no longer deserve it, so they are even slightly bitter. The clientele is mostly middle-aged Rosedalers who take pleasure in pronouncing the restaurant's name correctly -- "I'm going to Pasteeeece for Dinner tonight".
Whatever. I can have mussels and Fries anywhere without the attitude or the price.
