Michael Belluardo: Old school restaurant and it shows, But the view from outside is great. Topside is the only way to eat. the Frutta Di Mare was just ok, but wow the Lobster Mac & cheese was the best we've ever had.
Ami H.: Lobster mac & cheese is so velvety luxe, some inappropriate noises may escape your throat after taking a bite. Lobster, marscapone, cognac...bomchickawowow.
Tino Boehm: Great Atmosphere and very posh. You need a reservation ahead for Dinner. We tried in the evening without luck. But lunch is easier to get in. Lobster Mac and cheese was really good. Fish tacos as well

travel42: The fries are a must, but if that's not enough for you, have the poutine, their classic fries topped with cheese curd and smothered with their house made duck gravy.
Serdar Tumgoren: Hands down, must try duck poutine (fries smothered in cheese curd and duck gravy). We waited 30 mins in tight quarters for a table, but it was worth it.
Jourdan: Everything. But really, let's see. Poutine, must. Just do it. Fries. Burnt honey shake. Doughnut holes. Cherry soda. Ham & cheese sandwich. I'd order them all again-- let's be serious, I will.
