| - This is a review for 2018 winterlicious lunch menu.
Summary: a nice and romantic French restaurant with good food and fresh bread
Service: 5/5
Food: 4/5
Environment: 4/5
What I recommend from the menu: french onion soup for starter, steak frites for main, Mont Blanc for dessert.
What I like: the fresh bread, good portion, nice decorated dish, the environment, the service
What I don't like: I found the food here are generally too heavy and the steak is a bit too salty.
This place is pretty hard to book during winterlicious time, but I found a slot for lunch during open table website. This place definitely required a reservation. When I came to the restaurant, it was pretty packed. Walk-ins required a long time to wait.
I have been wanted to come to this restaurant for a while. I have passed by this place in distillery district many times during summertime, Christmas market and festival of lights. I usually would visit the pastry shop outside because I love the almond danish there.
Overall, I am pleased with the experience. I am definitely getting a good deal for my winterlicious experience ($28/person). My friend and I are both very full after this lunch.
It was festival of lights at distillery district, and the environment was pretty nice. I would definitely recommend it for a date. Our waitress was nice and attentive.
I actually love the bread here. Our table was beside the bread station and we clearly saw how our waitress prepared our bread. I don't think refills were allowed. The bread was fresh and came in 3 favours. I don't usually eat the bread, but my friend and I emptied bread basket.
Starter: French onion soup was pretty heavy. It had a layer of cheese on top.
Main: I was a bit worried because the waitress did not ask us how well we wanted our steak. (Of course, I wanted it medium rare.) However, when the steak came, it was cooked in a right way. I think it was due to the volume of winterlicious, every steak was pretty consistently cooked medium rare. However, I did found the steak a bit heavy and salty. The steak has a slice of garlic butter on top and sauce on the side. The fries came with a mayo. I remembered in Paris, the fries did not come with ketchup. However, the waitress handed us ketchup.
Dessert: Mont Blanc. Not exactly sure what was inside it (apple and gummy?). This dish was nicely decorated.
In conclusion, I definitely recommend visiting this restaurant for winterlicious. Be sure to make a reservation beforehand.
