"With the generally positive reviews I was expecting a good experience, but this was a great experience. A new favourite for me in the city.\n\nRoom: has a great urban sophisticated feel without any pretense, and when full is still quiet enough to enjoy conversation. \n\nService: Friendly, efficient, with only minor affectation\n\nMenu: Just about the perfect length, several interesting options, focus on Canadian themed ingredients, with intriguing accompaniments, like paneer with the lamb \n\nPresentation: Elegant and inventive, yet not fussy\n\nTaste: The style is 'New American', so flavors are combined from different cuisines, and in this case quite skilfully, the overall effect being complementary, intense, and clean. \n\nHealthiness: Pretty good, oils kept in check, focus on quality fresh ingredients \n\nValue: It's a wallet-thumper alright, but Lucien delivers on the price."^^ .
