    Post Ballet dinner. Both light eaters so we shared starter/entree /side. Fig tart/duck risotto/mushrooms. All lovely. Service was perfect. We were a small tab but treated to great service. The warm crusty french bread was lovely too. We’ll be back!

    Spectacular meal! My friend had one of the brunch Bento box offerings and loved it. I had hamachi-Kama (my favorite) and a generous, fresh, delicious California roll. Outstanding service.

    Food was varied, eclectic, creative, but not overly complicated. No dish was less than fantastic. Also, best octopus I’ve ever had. Restaurant was slightly drafty, but not enough to be uncomfortable, and the night I was there it was 15F and windy outside. So I wouldn’t worry about that too much. It was awesome.

    Truly wonderful experience. Jazz band started as we sat down and played at just the right volume to have a conversation and jiggle to the tunes. We were very close to the stage and the waiter was attentive and good humoured. Food was delicious and cocktails were very satisfying. Will be back!

    I brought my staff for a celebratory holiday lunch and we couldn't have been happier. LeeAnn, the hostess/server,  was warm, friendly, and just the right level of attentive. We sat in the covered/atrium space in the back, which was perfect on a rainy day. Cocktails and food were delicious - I ordered the mussels and they were some of the best I've ever had. The lunch reminded me how much I enjoyed Frenchie before Covid and I'm looking forward to coming back on a regular basis. Thanks for a lovely wonderful lunch!
