  • This was a planned visit for a friend's birthday dinner. We got a call a day before to confirm our reservation, special mention to the person on the phone for being very courteous. Upon arrival the initial impression is nice until one sits down and the music thumping downstairs starts to seep up. Hmm not for everyone specially with some of the guests in our group as they wanted to chat a bit. I had looked at the menu before hand and wanted to order the yardstick item for a good bistro (steak frites) so ordered the Striploin. Others in the party ordered a flat iron steak and shared a whole chicken for 2. Service was decent from start to finish. The chicken was brought table side before being carved, kudos for the beautiful presentation. Now for the main event the steak I ordered it rare and it was cooked to my liking however it was way over salted. The person who had ordered the flat iron steak commented their steak being over salted as well. The frites would have fared better if they were warm because the one's we got were cold. The bernaise sauce on the side was done well. I also tried the chicken and wasn't wowed. The saving grace here is the dessert I guess. I really enjoyed the Grapefruit Grive' a complex dessert with a refreshing finish. Sorbet topped with rose flavored turkish halwa, grapefruit jam and sesame seed foam. Wine list though pricey is decent. I would have given a low score given the price point but the dessert and the chance sighting of an impossible to locate Yelp Friend (you know who you are :) pushes it up to 3 stars. Update: Having enjoyed the dessert offerings here. We decided to visit this spot again (mains are forgetabble) as one can even overlook the main and just wait for desserts. This was a planned visit with reservations and all as we were a group of 3 and we showed up on the dot. After checking in our coats the wait began and then it went on and on (over 40 min) with the only explanation being they are looking for our table! Unacceptable IMO. The wait was so long that by the time we got our table we had lost our appetite. The desserts again were great (choclate coulant being mediocre) and Rotisserie pineapple being very good and Givre' exceptional like the previous visit. I am sure they will get the crowd day in day out being in this location and in a hotel but unless hard pressed I won't be back.
