    The food was absolutely amazing. The beer was very good. The service was the best I've had in such a long time. Really nice atmosphere and an energetic place to go. The Bistro was beautiful nicely decorated. Made for an amazing evening

    We had a wonderful birthday get-together for my daughter. Starting with 1/2 price oysters (amazing) and spicy squid, on to mussels, fish and chips (so large!) and butter chicken nachos. Loved the choices for cocktails - especially "mock tails" which tasted just like the real thing. Ambiance was great- I don't know our server's name, but she was very attentive without hovering and honestly, was just so switched on. We will be back - have found my new favourite place!

    We drove from Scarborough/Pickering (because we don't have many good restaurants there) and we were pleasantly surprised! The food and experience was great! We'll be back for sure. Also a special mention to the manager who provided personal service for the oysters and wine! Paul 416.579.3815
