    Love the new premises. Inside, the ambiance is refreshing with soft lighting and pleasing colours and decor. We came for the liver and onions…and Biff’s kitchen did not disappoint! Cooked to the requested pink inside, it was yummy. The Caesar salad beforehand was also good.

    Menu, service, and the entire restaurant decoration need an entire change! I was surprised to see how reluctant the staff were to explain to me what are the wine options by the glass, as there is no name or explanation on the menu other than: Chardonnay, Chablis, Sauvignon… and she passed us to another server for unknown reasons - Totally unprofessional behaviour! The tables are placed in a weird way leaving the main area with no design but the bar and event room in a Xmas themed! Not sure why and who did the decoration, but there was no need to make 3 different sections in weird arrangements! The food was pretty ordinary and we were already disappointed by both the arrangement and service and wanted to leave and try the bar next to the restaurant (Ceci) but stayed out of courtesy of our reservation! Not recommended!!

    I made a mistake with our reservation time and booked too late, I explained the predicament to our server. He was honest and brilliant with his suggestions. All was delicious, French onion soup, carpaccio, beet salad, frites, steak tartare, and the service was impeccable. Can't wait to come back.

    Enjoyed the dinner very much. Service was good. Food (except for the oysters, which were small, but still fresh) was excellent. The restaurant was very noisy though, and we (my friend and I) often could not hear each other well across the good sized rectangular table for 2). We were there before 6pm and the drinks were on special and the oysters were half-price, and I had the prix fixe and so the bill at the end was not super expensive -- worked out to be about $85 person with tips and one drink each.

    Service is always good, been there many times before it reopened. My friends meal of liver and onions look very good. My $19 Caesar salad was s very small , I would not order that again as a $19 salad should not be the size of a small side plate...
