Guest sentiment
A snapshot of what local diners frequently mention about this location.
"This restaurant is truly outstanding. The service is warm and attentive, and every dish is exceptional. The duck is unforgettable, with perfectly crisp skin and tender, juicy meat. The seasonal bone marrow, elevated with escargot, has a unique depth and complexity unlike the usual preparation. The crab salad is another favorite—refreshing, layered, and bursting with natural sweetness. Even the steak, cooked with classic techniques, stands out for its rich flavor, buttery aroma, and perfectly seared crust. Our whole family had a wonderful dining experience here, and we can’t wait to return."
"Excellent place for breakfast and brunch. The service and atmosphere is always excellent and as you would expect from any of Daniel’s restaurants. The food is fresh and very tasty and they have good wine selection!"
"Located inside the Four Seasons Hotel, we celebrated a friend's birthday. The dishes were exquisite and delicious, and the service was particularly thoughtful. This is a good gathering place. The duck is a must-order dish, and the waiter will help us cut it before serving it."

The cuisine was outstanding, beautifully executed, and thoughtfully presented. The service and attention to detail were exceptional from start to finish.

"An absolutely exceptional dining experience. Every dish was beautifully presented and thoughtfully executed, making the entire meal feel refined yet comforting… I would definitely come back here to try the rest of the menu.. The oysters were incredibly fresh and briny, perfectly chilled and paired with classic accompaniments simple, elegant, and flawless. The salad was crisp and refreshing, with a creamy dressing balanced perfectly by light, airy crisps that added wonderful texture and old blue cheese with duck meat. The main course Halibut fish was rich and satisfying, with a velvety pumpkin sauce and bins/ broccoli’s that showed real attention to detail and technique. Every bite felt harmonious and well composed. And the dessert truly the highlight. Beautifully plated, indulgent without being overwhelming, and full of depth in flavor. The balance of sweetness, texture, and presentation was outstanding and left a lasting impression. Service was attentive and polished, and the overall atmosphere felt upscale yet warm. This is the kind of place that turns a meal into a memorable experience. Highly recommended and I’ll definitely be back."
"Incredible experience. Food was fantastic. Service, excellent. If you want a quiet dinner, I would recommend not going on a Friday or Saturday night The best part honestly was the complimentary bread - it’s this warm brioche bun - so fluffy and goes great with the food. Unfortunately, I have no photo of it."
"Lovely place for breakfast. Reservation is highly recommended to avoid disappointment. Everything we ordered was delish."
