    I discovered this restaurant through Yelp and was blown away! I've traveled to BC from Los Angeles and this was one of the best meals I've had all year. Not only was the food incredible but the service was exceptional. The prices are on the higher end but it's SO worth it. Highly recommend the escargot and the duck. I will definitely be coming back here when I travel back to the city!

    Have been going for years and after seeing an overhaul of their staffing crews (multiple times), this recent luncheon was actually enjoyable with great staff. They were even considerate of the “sun” exposure in our eyes and allocated us to a comfortable seating dining table. Food was delicious and our waiter was friendly and kind.
