"I am very glad that I could try this place during the mtl à la table. our waiter was very nice, very attentive throughout the whole meal. and every cure arrived in a timely occasion. for the entreen we ordered the mushroom cappuccino was good, although the taste of the mushroom was very pronounced. we also go the grilled otopus, which was phenomenal and the foie gras torchon, which was not good. it was very embarrassing, the brioche brot with coward had more taste than the foie gras itself. for the second cure we ordered escargot there were 6 screws on a bed of large sea salt grains. the bark wagyu carpaccio was amazing! the meat mixed with the aïoli and the pecorino rasierwerk worked perfectly together! we also have the pumpkin risotto with goat cheese. the risotto was soft and perfectly cooked. the mix of walnuts, pumpkin and comminuted goat cheese worked perfectly together. for the third cure we ordered the tuna steak on the outside nicely lined and pink and soft on the inside. the lamb shoulder was tender and the meat fell directly from the bone. we also have the seafood bouillabaisse was disappointing. it was more of seafood with a sauce than a bouillabaisse and it lacked taste. for dessert they offered a plate with a lot of desserts to taste. the one thing that I would suggest the waiter is not in the opposite side where the bathrooms are chitchatting. it makes people think there is a huge line for the bathroom if there is no. 3.5 for eating the foie gras and the seafood bouillabaisse just missed the brand. 4.5 I did not go into the washroom because I thought there was a huge line. lonely and behold, my friends told me there was no line only the waiters who cried together."

"I sung here on a Thursday night in the holiday season with a business customer. I had a confirmed reservation for one table for two. when we arrived, our table was not finished, the maitre apologise and we were offered a few glasses prosecco to wait at the bar. after an hour of it, without table available, we have accepted to dine at the bar, surrounded by club music and a big birthday party, not my idea of a business dinner. the wee I wanted was not available, so the server placed four bottles in front of me, three I recognized from the weeping list and considered inconspicuous, a chianti, a ripasso, and an Argentinian malbec, all price under $80. a fourth bottle was a 2012 california taxi when I asked about it, I was told that it was a small amount of imported, and that it no longer knew. I thought it was in the same price class, I ordered it. the food was good; the oysters were tasty and the steactare, while coarser than what I am used to was really flavored and had good taste and texture. at least we were satisfied with eating. then the bill came. the secret taxi from California was $160. I was exaggerated. as the jerk went on around me, I decided to criticize it for my mistake because I did not ask the price, so I paid the bill and went. two days later I feel different now. I think it was the responsibility of the server to point out that this bottle was the double money of the others that were presented to me. therefore I share this experience with them so that others do not repeat my mistake. I like this restaurant, but I didn't like this special experience. in retrospect, as soon as it became clear that I didn't want to get one table, we should have left and I should have avoided writing this review."
