I have been eating at this establishment, both lunch and dinner for a number of years. It has sometimes been spectacular, sometimes just very good, but NEVER less than an incredible and unexpected bargain.

The fish especially is excellent and always perfectly cooked, Chef Gerard Page has a deft touch with seafood and even when the restaurant is at its most hectic, on Friday and Saturday nights, the fish never disappoints. Even in a mixed casserole each morsel seems to have been carefully timed and never ever overcooked.

This restaurant is an amazing find for the accomplished palate. The menu is rather limited, reflecting the location and clientele I suppose, but I have found it to represent one of the best of the little known bargains, not only in the city but at least on the west coast.

This is simple French influenced country/bistro food at its very best and at a reasonable price. Try the Bouillabaisse. At under $20 it is a steal at dinner and even less expensive and therefore an even bigger surprise for lunch.

The only real criticism I have is the location which is somewhat less than ideal but even there it does remind me of so many Parisian Bistros I have known...true working class places serving tried and true dishes which are uncomplicated and use fresh ingredients. Oh, and the wine list is rather limited too and seems to be aimed at a lower cost point but there are a few selections available which are more expensive but in my opinion better match the food.

I really do not understand how anyone could walk away disappointed from this, one of the finest little gems in the lower mainland.
