It can be reached by foot, public transportation, or even by car. The location is central to all your needs and is a quick 20 minute walk from Eatons Centre. If you are looking at parking, you might find it easier to locate a Green P parking lot.
Service
If you read all my notes from above, you would know that my expectations are lowered for both food and service. Much to my surprise the service was actually okay. Our waitress checked in with us after each dish and I was impressed by those who delivered our food. Almost all of them smiled and for a moment there, I felt welcomed. The place offers a casual atmosphere but unfortunately it is not that "french-like". My boyfriend thought it was really missing that special touch.
Food
I could go into the details of each dish but let me give you the general scoop. Everything was fine, no surprises, no disappointment. For $25 it was worth it, no doubt. The problem is, my boyfriend would not come back.
Bread
I wish they gave us better butter. There were only 4 slices of bread and thankfully they were easy to chew but...they didn't taste like much.
Chicken Pate
This is the type of appetizer that you would find at a french restaurant. For those who don't know, you are spreading a layer of chicken liver pate (a mixture of meat that becomes a paste) on the croustini.
Filet of salmon (?)
I don't remember what it was called but I swear it was stuffed salmon (though the site states otherwise). To begin, the sauce is awesome - in fact, it's the most important thing on this dish. The rice itself has enough flavours but there were a few grains of rice that were not fully cooked. I really liked the shrimps and mushrooms that one can find in the middle of that stuffed salmon - it had more taste than the salmon itself lols.
Duck Confit
The veggies are the same as the previous but wow, I was impressed by the duck. It was not salty (that's key) and even without the sauce, it could have been fine. It's too bad that the duck portion was small but still satisfying.
Cheesecake
This is your traditional cheesecake. Not too sweet and not too bland. I don't think this beats Cheesecake Factory in the states but I was glad they didn't screw up.
I believe this place could do better. I am almost 90% sure that we didn't order their signature dishes because really they weren't that "French" lols. I'm okay with coming back though my boyfriend disagrees. For a winterlicious menu, this is absolutely worth it. Many restaurants will reduce the portions AND quality. Our waitress was pretty funny, kept asking if we were full. One thing I did not like is how they suggested that the expected gratuity should lie between 18-20% because of their reduced prices. I prefer to make my own judgment on what the service is worth.
