We visited this neighborhood restaurant for the first time to celebrate a special occasion. The concept is charming - a café by day and a restaurant by night. Unfortunately, the experience took a disappointing turn once the food arrived. We ordered two rib steaks: one medium rare and one medium well. The medium well steak came out severely overcooked. The first bite tasted burnt, and the meat was tough. I even gave a small piece to a family member before sending it back, just to confirm it wasn’t just me. While waiting for a replacement, we were served mocktails, which we mistakenly took as a thoughtful service. The replacement steak arrived. Although not burnt, it still was not medium well, but closer to well done. I took a few bites and disappointed, I asked to bring the rest home. When it was time to pay, the waiter informed us he had “done his best” by offering a 15% discount on the first burnt steak as well as the complimentary mocktails. I was honestly shocked that we were being charged for it at all, given the repeated issues. My husband chose not to say anything, likely to avoid making a scene, but the situation left a sour impression. The kitchen’s inability to cook steaks to the requested doneness and the questionable billing practices are major concerns. If you decide to visit, beware! As for us, it was our first and last visit. Almost $300 for burnt steak, non merci ! That said, the kiddo enjoyed the cod sliders.
