It’s a new French bistro and if it can remain as consistent as the both times I’ve tried it, then I’m looking at a new local favourite that is here to stay. It’s a neighbourhood restaurant with affordable prices for the area. The food is rich, but it’s still catered for West Coast tastes.

It’s an upscale restaurant serving Pacific Northwest and West Coast cuisine, but on occasion I felt a disconnect in the theme of the restaurant and the approach to the menu. I was on the Boneta board for the most part, but there were some hit and miss dishes.
Does that make any sense to you? If you know cocktails then of course it does, but if you don’t, you might think I’m a racist or about to create my own version of the bible. Welcome to Amaro 101 (liqueur), The Negroni (cocktail) & The Four Horsemen (cocktail). Recipes included.
It was definitely fancy pants coffee, or fancy tight hipster pants coffee, so you either get it or you don’t. They offer brew flights and tasting flights with complimentary tastings every Friday from 1-2pm. Coffee lovers paradise!
