| - I went here for my aunt's birthday. We were a large group, and so a group menu was offered, and I was surprised by the wide selection they had. The service was good and accommodated us well.
For my part, I had foie gras, salmon and beef tartar and a fondant au chocolat for dessert. Across the table, many other dishes were taken: beef carpaccio, steak, ossobuco, etc. Some of the entrées served looked stunning, such as the cromesquis de porc fondant.
The portions were big, take for example their ossobuco. The place is nice, good ambiance, but I wasn't impressed with the taste. Foie gras left me hanging and the tartar was ok. For dessert, I had a chocolate fondant, which I found ok. The crème brulée my sister took however was probably the biggest one I've ever seen, and it is serve in a long rectangular tray, which stands out from the usual circular form.
Overall, ambiance is nice, food is ok but with big portions. If you're looking for a place to catch up with friends, Vertige is good. However, if you're expecting the culinary experience of your life, this place doesn't crack the top in my opinion. There are better French places according to taste. Finally, I guess the price is a bit pricey (65$ for table d'hôte entrée/fois gras/main/dessert and a martini), but I had a great time.
