    Went here for Happening Gourmand. Had the garlic snails, which were amazing! So much cheese and flavour. Had the striploin, which was a bit disappointing. The portion was huge and lots of flavour and well-cooked but the cut was so rough that my knife couldn’t cut through it. The veggies had no flavour and felt forced onto the dish. The opera cake dessert was OK but wish there was another dessert option with the price fixed menu. Service and atmosphere were exceptional! Would definitely want to come back for the vibe and maybe try other foods, despite the subpar main dish.
    ModavieResponded 3 days ago
    Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback Hannah. We're so glad you enjoyed the garlic snails and our service and atmosphere! We appreciate your honest comments about the striploin and dessert, and we’ll be reviewing your feedback with the team to ensure we continue improving. We’re happy to hear you’d like to return, and we’d love the opportunity to offer you an even better experience next time with some of our other dishes!

    We were excited to try this spot. While our server was great! - The food came to the table immediately after ordering. We’re talking about once the order was taken our onion soup and poutine came to the table in less than 2-3 minutes. Onion soup even premade for service needs longer in the oven or broiler than that if it’s “legit” and done “right”. Also, the poutine came out similarly at room temp… Hopefully better the next time around.
