Go on, bunch

The wife wanted to go there, I was a little reticent given what it is. I thought it would be douche central, and my younger SIL told me I would be the oldest person there.

Was not the case when we went, but we did go for around 7:45.

They definitely went for the "vibey" kinda place. They call it a Loungerie, sort of a mix between a Lounge, Nightclub and brasserie.

There's a DJ. It was not overly loud to me and I thought it would be. It was a pretty cool vibe, I didn't find it douche. Relaxing chairs and couches and so on.

The cocktails looked incredible, and I tried my friends and it was very good. My wife and I shared a bottle of bubbs

The food was all WAY better than I expected. I can't remember everything as we shared a bunch of stuff. I remember the duck poutine fries being really good, some wagyu carpaccio, some gnocchi, etc. The escargot believe it or not was among the best I have ever had anywhere in the world. I was impressed by that in particular.

Service was actually very good.


It was getting younger and the bar area of the place was getting a bit crowded when we left. I'd suggest going earlier like me unless you want that vibe.
