Excellent restaurant auquel nous sommes allés souper avec réservation avant un spectacle. Les portions sont très généreuses à des prix plus qu'abordables, les plats sont goûteux, les cocktails forts savoureux & le service est chaleureux. L'ambiance était festive pour le temps des séries de la LNH. Je prévois y retourner pour essayer leur belle terrasse en été.

The food is good, pricing is decent.
Service however was extremely slow. Saw another table pack up their food because by the time their mains arrived, they had to go. Had to ask 3 times to get water, only got it by asking another employee. Then, had to ask 5 times to get another refill of water.
Ambiance wise, it was hot & really loud. Couldn't hear the person sitting beside me.

Waitress made a mistake on our order, waited another 20 minutes for an entrée.

To end the night, they ran out of Natas. Got cheesecake instead but had to wait 15 minutes as the waitress forgot to give us utensils & no one was available.

Overall, had higher hopes & would not go back.

Honestly not sure what happened with the quality of this place, i came 3 years ago & it was so good, the service was amazing as well. However, i came recently & I was so disappointed with the food & the service, they messed up both of our orders (which is alright due to how busy it was) but when they brought it, it was just inedible, it's a shame because I really had a good impression of this place before
