    First time trying The Sequel which just opened a few weeks ago. Modern, upscale decor, nice atmosphere. Creative cocktail menu, although we didn't try any. Good variety of menu items although unfortunately oysters were not available when we went. Our group ordered appetizers - steak bite, beef carpaccio, shrimp cocktail, foie gras and truffles fries - all were delicious. Entrees were beef parpadelle, lasagna, lobster gnocchi, sablefish and lamb. Again we were all very happy with our entrees. Desserts were cheesecake, creme brûlée, tiramisu, lava cake and crepe suzette. Favourite was crepe suzette. Prices were very reasonable compared to other restaurants of similar caliber. Definitely recommend this new restaurant!

    Great experience here! Very personalized service, lovely room. Started off with tasty complimentary bread and butter and tried the fried cauliflower and braised brisket. Braised brisket was excellent!
