the good bits are excellent. only some of the dishes that we tried were any good, but those that were were excellent. the service was good, the creme brulee close to perfect, and the decor, in all its moodily-lit, steampunky glory, is as fab as anything in gastown. don't be put off by their ghastly website . and don't bother with the mushroom/potato bake thing - which, all the way down to the fey attempt at an ironic doily- is like your granny's dullest shepherd's pie.
