| - Went here for Summerlicious 2012.
We called at 11am asking for a 12nn reservation for 12 and was asked if we could do 1215am. That was fine. Bit strange though coz when we got there, the restaurant was practically empty.
In any case, we were seated promptly and the host and waiter were very attentive. Saw the comments here that they were being pushed to get drinks but we didnt feel pressured at all.
Decor: Very elegant, white table linen, quiet elegance. We thought it would be a good place to take visitors to Toronto.
Food:
Me: Coffee (good), Sea bream tartar (good- tho hint of fishy taste), sirloin steak with fries (good but i asked for medium and it came out more cooked than I expected), choco mousse (very good)
Wife: Calamari salad (good), quiche (very good), beignet (very good - caramel sauce wasnt too sweet)
Price: For $20, thought this was a great deal.
Service: pretty good, not snooty at all. Coffee and water service kept coming. - Our entrees did take 30-40mins to come out which I thought was too long considering it wasnt that busy.
Note: It's about a kilometer's walk fr the Eglinton subway station. Not a bad walk through quiet neighborhoods but it is a bit of a walk, esp on a hot day.
Overall: Didnt give them 5 stars bec of the entree wait time, and the fact they automatically added 15% to the bill (always find this tacky). Still, cant wait to come back and try out the regular menu.
