This is the first time I have had a meal in Toronto where the first bite has made me stop cold. The food is that good. As others have noted, it's in a bit of an out of the way location, and the atmosphere inside is cosy and dark. It's the perfect first date spot.
I had the trout, which was perfectly cooked and flavoured. I was curious what warm potato salad would be like (the accompaniment) but it suited the dish perfectly. My dining companion only had good things to say about her steak frites. We indulged in dessert -- creme brulée with a hint of thyme for her, butterscotch pot de crème for me -- and again, same reaction for both, Just heavenly.
Service was attentive in the good way. Weirdly though, it was packed when we arrived just after 6, but was it was sparsely filled afterwards. Not a complaint -- more attention for us! -- but a comment.
