| - I had the same situation like a fellow Yelper with my Groupon voucher about to expire, but I was able to book it and dine with my gf. We had the 4 course dinner for two.
The place is I guess intimate by the darkness, and they had outside patio and within the restaurant, they have another patio but inside which is nice. The washroom is a tad tiny. The restaurant was not busy, it was probably less than a quarter full of ppl, but the kitchen seem to be having a hard time producing meals efficiently.
Our starter app was a little taster of different things: octopus fennel, chick peas with arugula, beef tartare cranberry like, and duck confit. Among all the little taster, the duck confit wins. After trying this out we waited quite a bit for our apps...
My gf had hot tomato soup which took a while to come through, but def nothing special to report about.
Mine was the fried pork ribs with arugula and although the wait for this dish was quite long, the pork ribs was really good. But they seem to like arugula and puts it on quite a few of their dishes. They did give a few pieces extra for the wait so that was nice.
Fun Fact: They have a few location, and one of their location in the Westend can seat up to 600 PPL!!! That's crazy!
My main was the Duck Confit with lentils and steam tomato and spinach. The duck confit is tasty, but lack flavour along with the sides that were just steamed.
My gf had the Steak & frites with arugula on the side AGAIN!!! The frites tasted good, and the steak was finely cooked, but it did take a while again to serve it up.
The dessert we had was shared, and we ordered was some dry wall rock chocolate sauce with some cranberry and a scoop of whip cream. My gf got the toffee pudding which was better.
The service was fine b/c our food took long so they didn't have to bother us. When the food arrived, there was hit and misses. More misses. And with all that misses, I probably go check out other restaurants instead.
