| - First time back in 5 years. It was a very good overall experience.
Be advised, Monday the main dining room is closed, but the limited bistro menu, served in the bar, and small dinning room/outdoor area is just right. You may not realize this restaurant is there... hidden gem... seek it out.
The host and server were very accommodating, and helpful with the needs of an older guest who was using a wheelchair. (excellent accessibility). The view from our table, in the smaller dinning room was actually very nice of the verdant grounds. Don't remember the server's name, but she was friendly and professional
We decided on their burger and frites ($14.00) ... Honestly, it's one of the best burgers I've had in years. the Bistro Burger is 7 oz (cooked correctly), applewood bacon, caramelized onions, roasted mushroom and a generous amount of brie... OMG it was a luscious fun meal. The bits that fell off into the frites made for a decedent version of poutine! Enjoyed the house pickles too (not overkill on the vinegar). We really enjoyed the Lava Cake w Praline Ice Cream for dessert too.
Check out the online menu for "Mondays" for the full selection. However, there are some minor discrepancies compared to the actual menu presented at the restaurant.
Hoping to get back for another meal. Very adult-friendly space, not a noisy/trendy W25th/E4th Street type of place. Excellent for conversation, food and for enjoying the company of the people you are with.
