We came here for dinner as part of a bachelorette party. We chose this restaurant mostly for its proximity to the entertainment district. It's pretty conveniently located and highly accessible by public transit.
We were pretty worried as the restaurant didn't seem busy for a Saturday night. We were able to change our reservations last minute from 7pm to 8pm for a party of 7. The restaurant was maybe half full that night and it's a pretty small space.
The website looked kinda crappy but the restaurant was a lot nicer than I had expected. I really liked the ambiance - very cozy, but modern. Like a fancy lodge.
We ordered a bunch of cocktails and they were all really strong - we had to get some ice to water it down. We're a bunch of lightweights, but it's good to know we were getting our money's worth of booze!
We were feeling unadventurous that night and ordered several orders of frites and shishito poppers to share. They were pretty good, but you would have to try really hard to make something deep fried not delicious! I ordered the special of the day - sea bream with a side of roasted root vegetables. It was very simply prepared. I personally prefer food with sauce or a variety of flavours (read: I like my food pretty with a side of pretension) so I didn't love it, but I can see how others would have enjoyed my plate. The other girls in the party ordered scallops, the parlor fritto, and the horse and bones and they seemed to really enjoy their food.
We ended the meal with the moose knuckle to share - which was essentially a beaver tail. Nothing too exciting, we could have gone without it - probably my least favourite thing that evening.
Service was fantastic. Our server was super friendly and helpful, offered to help us take pictures throughout the night, and was readily available to provide whatever it was we needed.
Was pretty content with the food and experience and would likely return.
