I stopped Yelping for no reason in particular but I feel obligated to drop Maison Publique a review because 3.5 stars is simply wrong.
I came alone on a Sunday night and though I had a reservation, walk-ins were possible both at the bar and for tables(I saw a table of 4 walk in and be seated immediately.
A girl who was also visiting from New York came in and sat next to me and she seemed sane enough so I asked if she wanted to spit our meal so we could try more things and she happily agreed.
We ordered the Lamb Tartare, Asparagus, Crab Tart and the Tagliatelle with the deconstructed rhubarb pie for dessert(not what it was called but essentially what it was).
Everything was truly great. I don't remember a meal I've enjoyed this much in such a long time. Prices were more than reasonable and we ended up spending $140 CAD total with two drinks each included.
I don't think this place is hurting because it clearly receives attention from all over the country but this Yelp rating could not be further off. I'm an American and was sitting with another American and the service could not have been better. Go.
