Tbh, I was expecting more from a restaurant that holds the 11th spot on Canada's top 100 (2017). Don't get me wrong. This place gets a four stars in my book but not a strong four stars. The food was good and well executed. We shared four dishes. The famous whelks with miso butter (a take on the escargots in butter). It was my favourite dish. Then we got the razor clam Chinatown style. It was ok. We were expecting something warm (hot) and not a cold dish. It was unexpected. That was my least favourite dish. We also got the cavatelli with foie gras sauce and duck. Very rich and filling. And last but not least, we ordered the meat for two which was the skirts steak that was cooked to a perfect temperature! We were full!!!
As for the service. It was good but but I guess it's the kind of service that one would expect to get when the prices are so steep. I personally have had a better time at other restaurants but hubby really like it here.
