| - Did not live up to the hype for me:
*the smoked meat croquettes were little salt bombs and a bit one note for me. The sliced pickles just added to the sodium.
*seemed dingy inside and there were flies in the restaurant, but thought all the knick knacks strewn throughout were nice photo ops
*the horse tartare is phenomenal, loved the shaved matsutakes and the brioche, heavenly. Best red meat tartare I have ever had.
*if you must get the lobster pasta, get the half portion, it was just okay, pasta al dente, the shellfish could have been better, heavy, creamy, could have used more fresh herbs and again, a lot of the same flavor
*veal, escargot and bone marrow, impressive looking dish and was more like short rib type meat than a steak-just falls apart. Very good and very rich.
Tip: take a photo of the chalkboard and read the menu from your device. Everyone was struggling and craning their necks.
It's been rather warm the last week, no AC at JB. Loved our little window nook booth, but I think the garden would have been a great alternative.
Reasonable pricing $160 CAD for 4 items, 2 glasses of wine, tax and tip. We were stuffed.
Great servers and interesting meal, but my least favorite planned meal of the trip.
