7.5/10Overall, the food is amazing, but the main course and its paired wine were a bit disappointing. The service was average—it seemed like they were very busy.

10/10The service was top notch, the chef and team were accommodating and able to make food for my children that they loved. Flavors were innovative, but to me, the service was the difference! Definitely recommend for those that want a top quality experience!

9.5/10Great food and services. The restaurant was warm. Not the best combination fine dining and sweating.

9.5/10The food was 10/10. I am a pescatarian and annoyingly it meant I ate ALOT of fish so it was a bit repetitive by the end, I wish they threw in some veggie meals, but it was so delicious I couldn’t knock the food. Wish they turned the lights down by like 30 percent too and then it would have felt much more intimate
Substance • Owner
Dear Mr. Milligan, Thank you so much for your thoughtful feedback! We’re thrilled to hear that you loved the food and that it met your expectations. We understand your point about the repetition of fish dishes, and we will certainly consider adding more variety with veggie options for pescatarians in the future. We also appreciate your suggestion about the lighting, and we’ll explore ways to create a more intimate atmosphere. Your satisfaction is incredibly important to us, and we hope to welcome you again soon for an even better experience! Sincerly, Substance Team

10/10New Year’s Eve. Everything lovely but not quite as good as other Michelin one star. $350 price a little high even for NYE. I don’t think regular sommelier was there as this fellow seemed to have no suggestions
Substance • Owner
Dear Mr. Small, Thank you for sharing your feedback. We're glad to hear you had a lovely experience overall, but we truly appreciate your comments regarding the pricing and the sommelier's service. We understand that for a special occasion like New Year's Eve, every detail should be perfect, and we’ll certainly review the experience to ensure it meets the high standards you expect from a Michelin-starred restaurant. Your input is valuable, and we hope to have the opportunity to welcome you again in the future with an even more refined experience. Sincerly, Substance team

+4The food was good but the gnocchi was too salty, and the seating is a little too close, I have to listen to the non stop chatting from next table less than 1 meter away all the time.
Substance • Owner
Dear Leo, Thank you for sharing your feedback. We're glad to hear that you enjoyed the food overall, but we sincerely apologize for the issue with the gnocchi being too salty. We’ll certainly review this with the kitchen team to ensure better balance in future dishes. We also appreciate your comment about the seating arrangement and understand how proximity to neighboring tables can affect your experience. We'll explore ways to improve the layout for more comfort and privacy. We hope to welcome you again and provide a more enjoyable experience next time. Sincerly, Substance team

8/10
The appetizer was excellent and the main course was delicious. However, when they gave me the wine pairing, I felt a little different from the top table, such as giving red wine for the fish dish. I even saw white wine being served at other tables. It felt bad because it seemed like different wines were served with the same dishes at different tables. I didn't expect to drink Australian wine in France.
Substance • Owner
Dear Mr. Won, Thank you for your feedback. We apologize for any confusion regarding the wine pairing. We take your comments seriously and will review our practices to ensure consistency in our service. We hope to see you again and better meet your expectations, Best regards, Substance team
