Wow, what an phenomenal meal. Came by to try to the restaurant week menu with the three-course wine pairing. The scallops were perfectly cooked and paired well with the horseradish sauce. The lentils were a bit bland, but added a good balance. The duck breast was incredibly tender, and the pistachio bits and warm pear slices were a great addition. The sticky date pudding was not at all what I expected but so delectable. I was blown away with the first bite! Although the prices seem a bit high outside of RW, I was thoroughly impressed and would definitely consider CDA for a special night out.

This is a great restaurant with fantastic food. Try the baby octopus for dinner. A wonderful combination of flavors. Breakfast is awesome wonderful. The breakfast bowl is a very satisfying dish. Service was a bit spotty and slow on the several occasions I was there but still friendly.

My five star rating is for breakfast only. This restaurant does something better than any other place in the city. You’ll have to wade through my review to find out what. Trust me. It’s worth the wait. Breakfast is the only meal I have eaten there. It’s not cheap. With a tip, it’s always $26-$28 for me. It’s my splurge for the week. I go there every week. It’s amazingly consistent. I’ve yet to have anything that wasn’t terrific. I highly recommend the yogurt, granola, compote bowl. The pancakes are out of this world. Well of course it comes with real maple syrup and French butter. I should mention the coffee. It’s a French press and it’s impressive for. $5.00. I’m a bacon and eggs guy. The bacon is always freshly cooked, not dragged off the north-forty of the grill for a quick heating job. The French cooks ( and it is a French kitchen) cooks eggs perfectly. A secret from me to you, let your waiter know you’d like to skip the potatoes and instead have a taste of fruit. This isn’t your ordinary fruit. It’s blackberries, raspberries, blueberries, etc. picked at perfection. Best berries in the city. One of the things I love about this place is food temperature is right on the money. I’m saving the best for last. Shortly after coffee is poured your waiter will come by with a long tray of croissants, chocolate brioche and bread. There is no better bread or pastry. I’ve never, ever, ever had a better croissant in my life. Not even in Paris.
