The owner personally made sure we had a place to park since parking was so difficult to find. We were coming from out of town, a 9 hour ride & having this amazing place to eat & good food was a real treat. Thank you so much.

This place has really become my favourite restaurant. It's affordable, the plates are really generous & most importantly really delicious. Got several items like the chicken, calamari, poutine & others & none have missed.

C'était une première pour moi . J avais été la bas pour une fête d anniversaire. J ai adoré, la nourriture était bonne . Les portions très généreuses . Que dire du service , très rapide & à l'écoute de nos besoins. Le gérant ou propriétaire était vraiment très charmant . Il est venu personnellement à notre table pour s assurer que nous étions satisfaits de la nourriture ainsi que du service . Le seul petit bémol est le stationnement très difficile mais en général, j ai aimé.
