| - MAKE NOTE: Decor 5/5, 6/5 even if I could. Food 3.5/5
DECOR, DECOR, DECOR. Love, absolutely love. Walls covered in old cuckoo-clocks, a plate wall, a book shelf wall, a picture (frame) wall, all visually appealing. There's always something to look at and you can experience a different section every time you go. Highly recommended as a place to dress-up for, for a chic dining experience.
The food on the other hand needs some improvements and may I add the service as well. The first time I went the wait-staff were overly attentive and were asking us how we were enjoying our food before we even given a chance to taste it. But, the next few times, I couldn't tell you who our waiter was, or who to talk too because everyone was flying around not really attending to anyone at all. The cheese board, versatile, but very small, especially if you were hoping to share. The moules frites were a good portion, but the mussels were small and lacked flavour and the frites could have been cut smaller (they are frites and not fries after all). The tarter sauce accompanying them was divine. Our waiter (one of them) recommended the brussels spouts, which had a unique sauce and would definitely consider ordering again. One thing I can say is I'm very impressed with their oysters, and accompanying mignonettes. Might I add they have been advertising $2 oysters every Tuesday!
They do make fantastic cocktails. I am very picky with my martini's and I can honestly say they make some of the best in the city and delivered exactly what I was hoping for. They do try to design a seasonal menu (food and cocktails), which I understand and can respect. But don't take off some of the best items!
