What a gem! Incredible food, great service, amazing value for money

by chifoodie

This is now one of my fave restaurants in the city. The food was incredible, especially their fois gras appetizer, burger, escargot gnocchi and fries. Wines are all the same price and very reasonable. Staff were very friendly. Atmosphere warm, cosy and french. Sophisticated menu with unpretentious atmosphere and modest prices. And considering the kind of ingredients which featured in what we ate (fois gras, truffle oil, mussels, escargot, etc), we were very pleasantly surprised when the bill came. $50 per person based on two people sharing: 2 apps, 2 mains, 2 sides, 2 coffees, 1 bottle of wine, 1 dessert. Will definitely be coming back here, and often, and with friends. Great place for a date, or casual relaxed dinner with friends. Apparently Wed nights, their burger is only $10 and Monday nights it's BYOB without corkage. I've also heard their Sun brunch is incredible.

• Pros: food, value for money
• Cons: none!

Deserts & Wines Good - Food NOT

by Maureen826

I went there for an anniversary dinner and was somewhat dissappointed with our service (a very stressed out and rushing gay man) and the food. I ordered a fish dish and while the fish itself was cooked well, the sauces and various other embellishments to the dish rendered it almost unediable for me. I would not got to this restaurant for a main course however their desert is wonderful. The bread pudding is our favorite. Their winelist is also worth the trip.

Great service and great burgers

by sweetpea1970

We went to Sweets and Savories last Wednesday on the advice of a friend for their special $10 Kobe Beef burger night and we were very impressed! Although the restaurant seemed a bit busy for such a small place, we were greeted promptly with a smile and given our table right away. Although the rest of the menu was very tempting, we heard the burgers were monsters so we just ordered those and the duck fat fries. The burgers were awesome! The fries were addictive.

As for the service, our waitress seemed very sweet and took good care of us. I read some of the other reviews complaining about "pretentious" attitude, but we saw none of that at all, everyone was very nice. We had already decided to come back and try the regular menu on another night when the waitress told us about the special prix fixe menu available for $30 for Restaurant Week, so we will definitely be back for that!

So I say, thumbs up to Sweets and Savories and judge it for yourself.

• Pros: Food, Service
• Cons: Regular menu seems a bit expensive
