We went to Fleur de Sel for our anniversary 2 years ago while vacationing on the east coast. It was amazing!

A friendly, fancy little restaurant. Service has always been pleasant, the atmosphere is nice, and the food is always excellent (I highly recommend the shrimp spring rolls as an appetizer)! My only issue is that it’s such a small little place. It’s definitely popular enough to expand. So be prepared to wait for a table during busy hours!

It’s one of my family and mine’s favorite places to eat. It has a little something for everyone!

This cozy little place is a real gem! I discovered Ishina by accident one day around noon and decided to give it a try. The buffet selections were absolutely delicious. The staff/owners are cheerful and helpful. We’ve gone back several times since then and have never been disappointed. Some of their dishes are also available now at Farm Boy.

I absolutely agree with this article! The food and ambiance is great at this little restaurant! I had the curry scallops followed by a delicious deer flank. The only downfall was that we were served by the owner’s wife whom left us with the feeling that she doesn’t like her job. Don’t let this stop you from going there, the chef comes out to speak to each tables and you might have the chance to be served by the other waiter whom seems to enjoy what his doing…

I agree that Taylor’s is definitely another success for John Taylor! I love the fresh, regional dishes and unpretentious ambiance.

In my opinion this is the best butter chicken in the city. I have been many times for lunch and the chicken is always tender and the sauce is flavourful and creamy. The staff is always friendly.

We visited Sidedoor this weekend and found the food to be wonderful. The service, however, has not improved.

Our waiter, Earl, was far too “cool” for us. His response when we placed our orders was “yep”, he never once asked how our food was, and when it was time for us to pay up, he didn’t thank us for coming, wish us a good evening, or anything. The food service was just as bad: one of us would get an appetizer, and then the other would get theirs a few minutes later. Dirty dishes sat far too long on the table, as did empty drink glasses. The final straw was when one of our group received her entree a full 10 minutes before the rest of them arrived.

We would like to return for the great food, but would be embarrassed to bring anyone new with us.

I’ve been here several times over the past year and a bit, since I first stumbled on to this location, for both lunch and dinner (mostly dinner) and the occasional snack. The food is great, and the service that I’ve had has always been friendly and comfortable. On my first visit, the cornbread was forgotten; I mentioned it when I went back a few days later, and they were happy to provide a fix.

It is a pity that there’s no website, but I’m more than happy to return, as are the friends that I’ve taken there. The food is a big draw, and the very friendly staff. (The loaded fries, with the black-eyed peas, appetiser is also a favourite. Little salty, but very good! Makes a change from nachos.)
