We went for brunch and overall it was amazing. Great food, great service, and the atmosphere was chill and laid-back for a brunch, exactly what we were looking for.

The french onion soup was perfectly executed, real highlight.

And mussels!! One of the best mussels I’ve ever had. Great-sized mussels and the sauce was really really good.

The escargots were quite salty, though I like the pastry casing on top. Nothing special on the Croque Madame, but well made.

Friendly and attentive service. We were seated right away.

Great restaurant overall. It was in the pricier side though.

Huge space. The design was nice with high ceiling and fun mirror for photos.

We were seated at a nice table right by the window to see the wharf.

Hummus was really tasty with fluffy pita. Must-try!!

The main dish was the grilled platter and it was the right portion for the 3 of us to share. The meat was really fresh, seasoned well and grilled to perfection - real smoky. Moist, soft, juicy. I particularly love the lamb and the beef. The chicken breast was also great beyond my expectation.

Nice dessert. Love the sesame ice cream.

Came late Friday night with a reservation and the place was packed. Nice atmosphere, we were seated after about 5 minutes.

The service was great, attentive and friendly.

The restaurant was quite dark but it adds to the atmosphere.

The drinks are the highlight. Amazingly good Old Fashioned. The Painted Lady and the Yuzu Rasberry Smash were bright and nice. Highly recommended and can’t wait to try the others.

The food was a fun experience. The duck pate was not really special, not really a pate in my opinion. But the side pickle and the mustard are really good.

We try two different nigiris but don’t really like it. The scallops didn’t stand out - cannot taste the uni butter. The honey camember ones were not a good combination - rice and cheese, both are rich in your mouth.

The rabbit pappardelle was good. I like pappardelle in general so I enjoyed it, but the sauce was too creamy and the rabbit was kinda dry and bland - though pair well with the creamy sauce. I just expected more from tbe rabbit hind leg.

The sashimi pizza was really good! I was skeptical at first but it was well executed. The smokiness shines throughout and the seaweed salad was a well thought out edition.
