| - Came here to celebrate my husband's birthday last night. It's unfortunate that some reviews online had me questioning whether we should go here at all, but thankfully my husband said he wanted to try it out given that it was so close to home.
This is the sweetest little restaurant. Very cozy, and filled to the brim with French posters from art galleries, etc. Loved the black and white tiled flooring & everything else about it was charming. If you are a fan of privacy I'd recommend making a reservation and asking for a secluded table as there were a few scattered around the restaurant. Otherwise the tables are placed rather close together. We came early enough so it wasn't too busy, and what I did like was that they spaced people out around the restaurant so that you weren't seated next to anyone until they absolutely had to.
Our waitress was very pleasant and helpful regarding what to order!
For the wine we shared a cheap half litre of Merlot. The one thing that always gets me at restaurants is how much the wine is marked up. Their Cabernet special of the day was $30 for a half litre. While it was delicious (we tried it before we made up our minds) I'm glad we didn't end up ordering it as a quick Google search told me one bottle went for $14. This isn't specific to this one restaurant as all restaurants do this but if you're not looking to be wowed by your wine, the cheapest option usually does the trick ;)
For the appetizer we split the onion tart and the escargot. The onion tart was creamy, melt in your mouth heaven. The escargot wasn't the best I've had and the puff pastry was a bit soggy at the bottom but I do tend to enjoy it more when drowned in butter and garlic. Next time I will ask if this is an option, if not I think I would pass on the escargot. For dinner we got the Trio of Sausages & the Lamb Loin (ordered medium). We loved the sausages paired with the dijon mustard (which was a whipped delight!), each one had its own flavour and for two meat lovers you can't really get any better than a plate of sausages. The lamb was one of the BEST I've had! Cooked to perfection it was very tender and melted in my mouth. Each dish is paired with a nice serving of veggies and we were both stuffed to the brim once we finished our meals. For dessert we shared the chocolate mousse which was delectable, I wanted to lick the bowl clean. It did have orange zest in it though which you could taste, so if you're not a fan of orange-y chocolate I'd pass on this one.
Price-wise this place is a steal. You get a lot of food and for $122 we had a 1/2 litre of wine, two appetizers, two main courses and shared a dessert. Definitely worth checking out! We will return.
