Server was excellent, kitchen not so much Appetizers, mushroom toast and onion soup Were very good. Entrees were where the trouble started. My wife’s gluten free duck Came with “glutinous mass” as described by Our server, in middle of plate. This after waiting 45 minutes after appetizers for our entrees. My coq au vin was over done hence dry. The beet salad, a feature, was truthfully Dreadful. Even there fries were fragments. Did I mention my potato purée tasted like someone had spilled salt into it. Gave it 3 stars Because of server and atmosphere

The restaurant was lovely, food excellent and service attentive. Sadly the night was ruined by a totally obnoxious guest sitting at the next table who talked and swore at the top of his voice for 90 minutes. Felt sorry for the staff too. How sad we are too afraid to shame such guests into better behaviour.

2 diners for lunch. Our appy took 20 minutes+ to arrive. Our entrees took another 20 minutes AFTER we'd finished the application. My guest had the Coq au vin. It was cold. I had the steak frites. It was luke warm and not tender. My fries arrived 5 minutes later. The kitchen appeared to be overwhelmed. Our server was the only ray of sunshine, bubbly and cheery as she was. $90 plus tip (20% for the server). Luckily, here are lots of other options in Vannouver.

Really, really good food!! Nice attention to seasonal ingredients, and beautiful presentations. Friendly service but a bit uneven due to a large private party that seemed to take a bit too much attention from our server, who apologized nicely. Good busy vibe for a Monday night, although veering into “too noisy” at times. Definitely recommend the frites, regardless of what else you are eating.

The food and beverages are always outstanding. But we were so disappointed that the profiteroles are no longer available. Our faves are Le Burger and profiteroles. The only disappointment was the pavlova. It was more of a hard meringue cookie, we expected a softer meringue. Bring back the profiteroles!!

This is a fantastic restaurant and we had a stellar experience. The fois gras in particular was outstanding. I had the duck special and it was amazing. Our server forgot to put in a drink order and forgot to bring a dessert menu, so service wasn't as perfect as the rest of the experience, but it was adequate. I will definitely go again. I've heard their happy hour is great.
