  • Sumptuous sophisticated food, without the pretense. Arrived on a Thursday evening w/ my Dinner Club crew after hearing about this place from my cousin and the reviews from the good people on Yelp. 8PM reservations were made a couple days beforehand over their voicemail and I appreciated the call back to confirm the reservation as well as the reminder today. The restaurant is a small quaint space in King West. Seating is probably limited to no more than 40 guests, but this evening was substantially quiet - maybe b/c it being St. Patrick's day or just a quiet weeknight. The waitress was great; unobtrusive and attentive, and gave great suggestions when asked. The food itself took a bit of time from order to service, but obviously because all the dishes were made fresh to order and definitely all worth the wait. One thing to note, is that she did suggest that we order about 2-3 dishes per person. Seemed a bit overkill but I think we all averaged about 1.5 dishes each, and ended up quite satiated and satisfied. I ordered a poutine to start (and share) ($10) served with large chunks of elk hip meat, crisp gnocchi and creme fraiche. I've never had elk before, so this was a real treat. The meat was incredibly tender and had a really savoury flavour profile that just melts and lingers on your taste buds. The crisp gnocchi was also a surprising twist taking the role of the potato in this concoction. All in all, a delectable dish. The main I had was the full serving of the duck confit ($25) which a half serving would have sufficed ($16). The half order is basically the serving of the thigh, while the full order is the entire leg. This was served over a bed of sweet potato with bacon and preserved lemon. Amazing. Quite honestly....amazing. That's all I really need to say. To finish off, I ordered a single scoop of the house made apple sorbet ($3). Ice cream, gelato and sorbet are my achilles heel when it comes to desserts, and this was definitely not a disappointment. Freshly turned out, the texture was silky smooth and had an unbelievable taste of apple. Overall I had my reservations in it being a bit pricey, but the money here was definitely well spent. Next reservation will have to be for brunch. I have my eye on that beast benny. ;)
