| - Came here for brunch with really low expectations based on the YELP reviews, but received the opposite instead and had quite a pleasant dining experience here. When you step into this restaurant, you literally feel like you've entered another world. The decor is gorgeous and over-the-top, but still tasteful. I was expecting snooty service (based on yelp) and well, it was exactly the opposite. At least, my waiter was awesome and greeted us with a tray of gourmet pastries to die for when we first seated. The food was amazing and rightly priced. Presentation and taste was exquisite! I ordered the lamb bacon benedict and the duck bacon fingerling potatoes. The duck bacon was quite different and amazingly tasty! Benedict wasn't bad at all either, but still prefer pork bacon rather than lamb. Really, if you have the finer & intricate tastes in the food world, you will definitely enjoy this restaurant. You really have to focus on the little garnishes they used in their food, it's simply fantastic. They try to wow you with something different and they sure wowed me! They bring you to a different dining experience and that is what a "fine" restaurant in the area of trendy King West should be like. I will definitely come back here again to try their dinner menu.
Note: Would have given it 5-stars, but the seating area we were given (right in the front windows) were soooo tight, that when my husband got up to leave, he knocked the glass over and it shattered. Now he is a tiny skinny guy, no more than 125 lbs - so if he finds trouble getting in and out, it's tight! lolz... But they were really nice about the broken glass and told us it was no BIGGIE. Don't like to play the blame game, but that was "really" the reason. I hope they redesign the seating space around the front windows.
