I've been here a few times and I love this place. Bright industrial decor. 5* fine dining worthy service yet with a more casual feel. My favorite dish here is the chicken fried pork cutlet, it is their amazingly delicious rendition of a chicken fried steak with biscuits and gravy.

I have to say the service here is much much much better than its food. Good ambience yet with unexpected bad French food. At first you might be deceived by kind of full tables and crowded persons. But if you look more into that, obviously they take here as an alternative for other so crowded restaurants around downtown crossing since majority of them look like the employees and just eat salad for quick lunch, not traditional appetizer, entry or dessert what you apparently will choose when paying a visit to a FRENCH restaurant!!!!The "famous" mussels appetizer gave me a very bad impression at first as many of them stink!!! Then another "recommended" entry, beef bourguignon, was awful as the texture of beef stew is bad and more importantly, that beef tasted super sour! How could that happen even you use red wine to stew beef, let alone for this classic French dish! Given the impression about former dish, I strongly doubt that the beef was not fresh!Anyway, the dessert, Baked Alaska, is good finally! I like the different layers of ice cream along with Italian genoise at the bottom. In light of super good service from waitress, I quite reluctantly decided to give a 2-star for this flashy restaurant.

The food was ok, I ordered sweet and sour chicken which was the chefs special, the same I could get at the food court near by. The restaurant wasn't busy but the people working there were running around and shouting, the environment wasn't nice at all. Also I can't understand why they only accept cash.

This is a place to go for coffee! Definitely. Especially paired up with Lucky's Doughnuts. The latte I had was fab. Not too sweet, and a gorgeous design on top. The people are super friendly, and the prices are great for whatever hot beverage that will please your pallet.

Came here for happy hour with a few friends. I ordered the calamari and it is nothing to write home about. Something about the taste was a little odd and the batter was not very crispy. It was almost a little mushy inside. I didn't have a drink but my friends ordered a happy hour wine and I think it was $5.75? Not the cheapest. Just meh. Wouldn't come here again unless necessary.

The place serves a typical chinese menu in addition to all day dimsum. We only tried the dimsum and it was quite good. We had the steamed shrimp, steamed shrimp rice noodle, shumai (steamed shrimp and pork), and the pork bun. All were quite nice but I especially liked the steamed shrimp. Keep note that there is a seafood store or restaurant below Winsor and the smell from it seemed to permeate into Winsor. Also they charge $1 for the chinese tea that they give to you immediately after sitting down. I'm not sure if thats a typical chinatown thing to charge for the tea even if they don't ask you if you want it, but I was surprised
