    Our evening at Cocotte Bistro was absolutely lovely! From the moment we walked in, the charming French ambiance and soft lighting made us feel so relaxed and at home. Every dish we tried was bursting with authentic flavour, you could tell it was made with care. The staff were incredibly warm and attentive! We’ll definitely be back soon!

    Food was delicious. Server was helpful, polite and prompt. They went out of their way to make the birthday girl feel special. Only down side was the seating on a wood slab wasn’t very uncomfortable but overall a good experience. We will be back.

    Excellent, attentive service from start to finish. I loved the personal call to confirm our reservation and that our server already knew about our dietary restrictions before we even sat down. Food was delicious - I’m still thinking about that scallop tartare. Our party of two ordered a snack, an app and two mains. Everything was thoughtfully prepared and presented, with creative flair but no pretentiousness. The dishes were well-portioned - we did not go home hungry and next time would save room for dessert. I understand that Arlo boasts a well-curated selection of wines, but the sober and sober-curious will be interested to know that they make super yummy non-alcoholic cocktails too. Finally, the ambiance and decor create a dining experience that feels cozy and comfortable but unique. Arlo does everything right. Can’t wait for our next visit.

    Afternoon Tea at Zoe's was quite the event, and certainly lives up to the hype. The restaurant has done a stellar job with the renovations and the ambience was quite nice, especially right after the holidays. The staff, particularly Jeanette for our table, were attentive and quick to answer any needs we had. The food was well prepared and many options are available for selecting specific tea genres. Of course, the price is what it is, but to be expected of such a venue evidently! My party was very satisfied with the experience and looks forward to returning soon!

    Love it! Went for happy hour and had their small plates and everything was delicious, especially the tacos. I also appreciated how many gluten and dairy free options there were making it so I can fully participate in the experience! Our waitress was super nice as well! Can’t wait to come back.
