J'y suis allée avec des collègues de travail durant notre fin de semaine d'assemblée général annuel. Le nom du bar nous a interpellé !! La serveuse a fait de bonne recommandation! Prenez note: Pour un groupe ( nous étions 10-11 personnes), ils ne font pas des factures séparés. Une facture totale avec un tip de 18%.
