  • Thank God the waiter was nice! Other than that, it would of been 1 or 1/2 star... The menu is ok nothing new since the early 90's. We started of with stale bread with butter, olive oil and burn in your throat balsamic vinegar. Then Felix ordered the kangaroo tatar as an appetizer and the flank steak. I ordered the grilled octopus for the appetizer and the braised lamb shank. So... The tartar was so overwhelmed with the taste of green onions and capers that the kangaroo was nowhere to be found. The tiny green salad was useless. The grilled octopus was yes, tender but seemed more braised and lacked that smoky flavour that you would get if it was grilled well. It sat on top of oily well cooked but too salty vegetables. Plus, my plate had dried food from the previous seating. 20 minutes later... The flank steak excellent cooking temperature! Small. No. Really small. Buried by caramelized onions. Felix had to toss some on the side. Ughh! The useless salad again! Fries were crispy and tender inside. Just like we like them. But then again. How hard is it to make fries? My so called "5 hours" braised lamb shank felt more like a "2 hours" braised lamb shank. It came with a piece of carrot, a piece of orange bell pepper with the skin still on it and some green beans. The sauce tasted like powdered sauce and there was very little on both mains. They also sprinkled some Montreal steak spice all over! Trust me. I grew up with a father that would use it like cocaine! I know when it is being used!!! I didn't finish my plate. 45 minutes later... They remembered that we wanted to share a cheese plate. It came. I had to flag the waitress so she could describe the cheeses to us. The "homemade" raspberry compote tasted more like it came from a tub. But the tiny pieces of cheese were good. I would guess about 30g tops for a 12$ cheese plate. Oh ya...that useless salad garnish follows. No forks to eat it with though. So i guess it was there for a touch of colour?! All-in-all, this place to me, seemed to be run by a self proclaimed cook (not even chef) and failed miserably. Hidden behind some dix30 style decor. How is it that it has been opened this long??? I gave it two stars because even though the wait in between was long, the service was actually great and the waiters were attentive and apologetic! Would i come back? No way!!!
