  • I expected great things after seeing an average of 4 stars for this joint. There is definitely a Parisian/French feel to this restaurant with the textured pastel-coloured walls and the art work, don't know if the live piano player adds to it or makes it less Parisian, but it was a nice touch nonetheless. Having a group has it's advantages as I got to sample a number of dishes. The French onion soup I ordered was absolutely delicious, full of flavour with ample amounts of cheese, onions and bread crumbs. My main dish while it sounded good "Aiguillette de canard a l'orange et au Grand Marnier" (duck breast with orange Grand Marnier sauce), did not taste good at all, extremely disappointed. The duck meat was chewy and the orange Grand Marnier sauce was bland and had a hint of bitterness - like eating the zest of an orange. I think a splash of orange juice would've sweeten up the flavour and would've made the sauce more enjoyable. The gratin potatoes and vegetables that came with the dish was really good and done well. I also sampled the risotto with seafood, that came out very soupy, which made the risotto very mushy, as my friend described it, "it reminds me of congee". Another dish was a pork tenderloin with a red wine and blueberry sauce, it was ok, meat was tender but the sauce was missing something. There was one main that was really good - one of the daily specials, a swordfish done in a orange dill sauce. Overall I still had a good time at the restaurant, it had more to do with the company I was with, than with the food. The wait staff is attentive and the ambiance made you feel really comfortable. On the fence about coming back here again, maybe just for the french onion soup I would. There are better alternatives: Coquine Restaurant (on Yonge), Cafe la Gaffe (on Baldwin) and Jules (on Spadina).
