A very comfortable dining experience with some unusual culinary experiences to be savoured. Agree with the description “fusion of Italian/French” in a pleasant unpredictable way with an emphasis on taste. Have not been disappointed after six visits and appreciate the reasonable prices of their luncheons. Recommend!

You can find a little bit of everything here. The focaccia club cajun chicken and angry chicken are great picks. The sandwich came with fries, salad, and fruit which was a nice touch!

We came here after going to the beach as it was nearby, and the food was amazing. We ordered the beef penne, angry pesto chicken, tomato chicken fettuccine, carbonara and the daily soup. All the pasta were very flavourful and tasted authentic. The bread was complimentary and fresh, and was served with an olive oil balsamic. They were more than happy to accommodate for our dog, and the server was very welcoming and kind. This was a great spot to visit and the portions were also very filling. There were so many different options for pasta on the menu, I would like to come back and try something different.

My wife suggested this well hidden gem in the outskirts of the beaches neighborhood, and what a great choice. Seafood prepared to perfection, the different versions of seafood pasta make it almost impossible to choose. We shared mussels and calamari appetizers, and they were cooked to perfection. Highly recommend.

Nice patio, and quick service.however, very upset with the overall experience.there was half a clove of uncooked garlic in my omelette and had a very rude/blunt server that ended up sitting another customer at our table right after we paid.the table wasn't yet cleared and we still had drinks.she did not ask if that was okay / we were ready to leave.

This spot used to be great. In 2017 tried their vegetable penne pasta and it was great, over the years the quality of food had gone down. I also do fine it better to eat the dishes in person as for some reason the same flavours doesn't translate well for take out/delivery. My last time eating the food a couple weeks ago via ubereats the pasta wasn't great, but I still hold on to that it would be as good as the day I had first tried it a few years ago. Maybe I'll stick to dine in only as it is a little better flavour.

Amazing food! I had the mascarpone-stuffed French toast. Wow a tiny hole in the wall type restaurant but what great food. Eggs Benedict amazing too. Bathrooms in basement are renovated and very clean. Hope to return soon

Absolutely love this place. Just as good as the other location. Food is a cut above. Atmosphere is awesome. Prices are reasonable. The wait staff are always friendly and quick. It's one of the top restaurant in the city, and I've tried quite alot of them.

A brunch today was so delicious. Served with good humour and speed. I have a second meal awaiting me in the fridge because quantity was so large. A wonderful “deal” of a brunch!

A nice restaurant in a nice corner of the city. Go for a late lunch, early dinner and check out the beach and neighborhood before or after dining.
The menu offers something for most tastes. Emphasis on pastas. The flavors are are fine. I think a lot of the offerings share a similar sauce or two and then garnished with the toppings. Maybe a little predictable after a few visits. I have found the fish, seafood and grilled meats to be somewhat over cooked.
The food and drinks are well priced.
Kind of drab and under decorated though.
Just on the plus side of average for bistro style places.

First visit. Six adults for Sunday brunch. Extensive, appealing menu, outstanding service and delicious meals with great presentation. Cannot beat the value for money. No wonder all tables were full. Can’t wait to come back for a dinner.

OH MY GOD! A buddy and I after lounging at woodbine Beach decided to go for a bite and we randomly chose this place.and what a choice it was.

The food was not only tasty as it was physically pleasing, the portion sizes were incredible.

The server was as sweet as can be and super kind and pleasant and the atmosphere out on the patio was the cherry on top of perfect staff and food.

My son just treated me for a breakfast on my lunch break. Our orders were taken wrong and an order was completely missed. I had to go into the restaurant and ask for my food to go since we were there for about 40 minutes waiting. There were no apologies. My son paid almost $100 and when I got home with the missed order my food was raw (potatoes) and not cooked and the poached eggs were hard. There was almost no sauce on my eggs Florentine. When I called and asked for the manager Lindsay answered and was extremely rude would not let me speak and told me management would be in another day. I will NEVER eat here again or recommend this establishement to my colleagues or friends. What a waste of time and money and I was embarrassed since I recommended it to my son whom was visiting.

This place was recommended to me by a co-worker and WOW! I was beyond thrilled with th service. The food was phenomenal and how can you beat being right beside RC Harris for a post-meal walk. I totally recommend this place for a great meal, wonderful table staff, right here in the beaches folks!

Very nice, cute, secluded and private restaurant. Great service, amazing food. I recommend this place.

This is a popular local dinner destination amongst friends. With an extensive menu of tasty options delivered under expert management there really is something to please everyone here. Seating capacity is limited, so advance reservations are a good idea during peak times. Looking forward to trying their brunch menu in the near future!

Bought the chicken fettuccini, shrimp linguini as well as the mussels. No flavour with the shrimp, literally tastes of noodle and the shrimp still had the shell on it. The chicken was over powered with pesto paste and no other flavour. They put bacon in the mussels and that’s just ridiculous. The whole idea is to enjoy the fruit of the sea. I’m Italian and raised with the food. I would never spend my money on that place ever again. A refund would be suffice then I’d be satisfied. Food went into the garbage. Can tell the cooks we’re not Italians at all.

We ordered eggs benedict and it came as poached egg on english muffin. No hollandaise sauce. The poached eggs were over cooked close to hard boiled egg. We called the restaurant with no resolution. The breakfast was cold as well when arrived. The person managing at the restaurant could not resolve the issue without phoning / contacting a manager or owner offsite to resolve issue. The only offer was to send hollandaise sauce and for us to wait and let a cold breakfast get colder. Cold eggs with hollandaise sauce not satisfactory. I will continue to share my experience. Now a former good customer lost. Horrible food, horrible experience.

People that never had Italian cuisine think that this place is great, but it is really not. The food is just ok nothing great about it, the service was better than the food.

I bought a vegetable sandwich by Uber eats in this restaurant and I asked to don’t put any dairy or cheese (I’m allergic). The sandwich came with a large amount of butter sauce. It's It was really frustrating.

Have been here many times and always had a good experience but today was really disappointing. Food was mediocre at best. Ordered a chicken and shrimp salad. 3 pieces of really tough shrimp and had to hunt for the chicken. Came with garlic toast which was made with old looking bread. My dining partner was equally disappointed with his meal.
On the positive side, the staff is always friendly.

A Beach jewel and well worth supporting during the pandemic. Order online and pick up. Seafood dishes always fresh and delicious. Highly recommended.

Nice little restaurant. Food portions are quite reasonable for the price and our waitress was really nice. Definitely recommend.

I love this restaurant! They serve tasty food, their menu is large, The chief cook in that spot is an expert, I enjoy a lot eating all their food. The food is consistently good, the service towards the visitors is very good too. I frequently visit this restaurant and I was never disappointed. I recommend it with no hesitation.

Awesome Early bird prices and steps away from the beach makes a great day off. Coffee is memorable and giant lifesaver mint makes a great end of meal treat. Fun for the whole family.

Booked table for 19.30.
Arrived punctual.
Made myself known to staff that I arrived.
Ordered a bottle of wine and some water.
Sitting outside.
After at least 15 minutes I still had wine or water.
A blonde waitress came outside to refresh other customers glases with water, ignored me.
I spoke to her jokingly man dying of thirst.
She acknowledged me and walked off.
Another five minutes passed and still no drink on my table, so I walked inside and found blonde waitress clearing table, which was the end of my tether.
I told them I was leaving and they didn't seem to care.
I was recommended by local people, who you rest assured will hear about this despicable service.
Maybe the thought I was on my own and they did not have to bother, but I can only say they lost at least CAD 80 to 100 in turnover.

Cozy spot, with a relatively nice patio. Lots of great breakfast options. I had a Benedict and it tasted great. The portion was appropriate. Coffee was very good. Prices were very fair (~$12 for most Benny's and omelets). You could do street parking for free, relatively close by.

Had a good experience in this spot with my wife. The food comes out fast and the customer service is just fantastic. Prices are reasonable.
21 September 2019 14:36
The wine and dine special works out to be a fairly good deal. For $32 you get a couple glasses of wine and a decent dinner. The food could use some improvement but, for $32 it was great.
