Visited on a whim for lunch after years of passing by and thinking to myself that I have to try one day. The burger is imo the best in the city; it demonstrates how simple, quality ingredients make all the difference. The beef Bourguignon tagliatelle was tender, rich and full of flavour. The sweater weather cocktail finished with a fresh marshmallow was warm and comforting and finished our meal perfectly. They also brought out some adorable (and very tasty) warm mini madelines with lemon curd for my grandmas birthday which was so appreciated!

We had a wonderful meal here after the opera. I had the Icelandic cod and my husband had the braised lamb. Both were excellent. The Hollandaise sauce with mine was light and delicious. The accompanying vegetables with both dishes were not overdone. Even the olive bread was hot and delicious. Don’t know why this great place was not full on a Saturday night. Great value for reasonable price!
