"I am somewhat jaded when it comes to dining out so I am rarely blown away anymore. I was blown away at degustation. I went there by myself and was lucky enough to be seated in front of the chef who did the final construction of the dish. The food was stellar both in its presentation and its appeal. They were very generous with the wine pours. I have already reserved again."

"Too many fried items in the menu (the octopus, the pork, the fish, the croquettes...) and strong flavors overall. Nice try and good range of flavours but still not there. Maybe the tasting menu ($80+) is different, we dined a la carte. Very good service and ambiance."

"I don't know how I missed this place until now but I intend to make up for lost time. The food is wonderful, the ambiance is delightful and the experience is unique. Everyone sits around where the chefs cook - sushi bar style- and watch every plate as it's prepared.
The food is pan -European- some plates leaning towards Italy, others to France or Spain. And they're all small plates which allows for lots of tasting. My husband and I tasted 7 between the 2 of us and enjoyed them all. The pork belly and the brussel sprouts were my favorites. I highly recommend Degustation for groups of up to 4."

"Don't be fooled by this tiny restaurant, since they make up on service and quality.
My wife and I had the opportunity to try it after finding some great reviews on Yelp.
The set up reminds me of a sushi bar.

There were just too many items to mention but the few stand outs were: fois gras. Seasonal salad. Scallops."
