Really? You all think it is that good?
An amazing local french bistro is very high on my list of "wants" for Mile End and I was excited to try this place.
The staff was indeed excellent, but I wouldn't exactly describe the cuisine as "innovative" or, for that matter, "delicious." Everything we ate was oil/butter-laden (literally congealing on my plate), over-salted, and rather uninspired. The decor is dark (think steampunk meets 12 Monkeys) and self-conscious.
Maybe I was there on an off night, but I'm reluctant to drop that much money again to find out. If I do, however, I'll reconfirm...
Rating Scale:
1 Star: Avoid the town in which this place is located just to be safe.
2 Star: With so many great restaurants to choose from, why risk it?
3 Star: I'll try it again or consume here in a pinch.
4 Star: I eat here regularly if financially and calorically feasible.
5 Star: I'm comfortable taking chefs here.
