Bar Bistro L'Entracte Inc has drawn mixed feedback from patrons. Some diners criticized the duck as chewy and tasteless, with a difficulty cutting, small portions, minimal seasoning, and an ambiance more like a bar than a restaurant, plus a service pace that could be slow to pay and depart. Seating was repeatedly described as cramped and crowded, making movement feel unsafe. Other dishes showed more variability: some meals were seen as underseasoned or bland for the price, while on other visits certain dishes and presentations were praised for flavors and quality, including standout starters, a highly regarded goat cheese salad, tuna tataki, risotto that was tasty but not perfectly creamy, and desserts like pistachio creme brulee. Service experiences ranged from impeccable and attentive to lapses, including situations where a requested wine was unavailable yet still charged for a glass, which disappointed some guests. Several reviews highlighted the restaurant's positive aspects, such as a warm, attentive staff, a pleasant atmosphere, and a strong wine list, and a few visits were described as excellent value or highly enjoyable despite the cost. Overall, opinions converge on inconsistency in both kitchen execution and service, with memorable highs on some nights and disappointments on others, leaving some patrons planning to return for the ambiance and certain dishes and others reluctant due to mixed results.View restaurant profile
Many reviews rate Pizzéria Val-d'Or highly for the pizza, with several calling it the best or among the best in Val-d'Or and others suggesting it is the second best in town. But experiences vary, as fries are sometimes described as reheated and unpalatable, and the pizza can be overcooked or undercooked. Delivery times can be long, and some staff members are described as rude, while other reports praise friendly and attentive service. Comfort and seating are noted as an area for improvement with suggestions for more chairs for larger customers rather than only at the bar. Parking on the street exists but parking directly in front of the shop is limited, and the venue can be very noisy. Toppings are not abundant for the price but the pizza itself is still good, and pricing is considered expensive by some. On site pickup for takeout is mentioned and convenient for taking pizza home. Overall, the consensus highlights strong pizza quality with positive service in many instances, but mixed experiences around service, pricing, and comfort.View restaurant profile
At La Cage, reviews describe a lively atmosphere that suits family dinners and casual outings with friends, though the noise level can be high, especially on the upper level. Service is frequently praised for attentiveness and friendliness, with mentions of a notably helpful server, yet some experiences report delays or errors when the restaurant is busy. The food earns a mixed verdict: some dishes are highlighted as excellent, such as the Calabrese pizza, while others fall short with issues like cold fries, dry croutons, salads heavy on greens with little dressing, and fish tacos that lack cilantro. Order mix ups and dishes arriving cold are noted by a few guests, and a few comments point to missing utensils during service. Overall, the sentiment remains favorable, with good beer and solid values, and the sense that La Cage can deliver a satisfying meal when the kitchen and staff are on their game, even as a noted staff shortage can affect speed and consistency.View restaurant profile
