Incroyable restaurant La terrasse était fermée malheureusement à cause de la pluie mais ça n'a rien changé à cette expérience incroyable. Tout était impeccable

Le meilleur restaurant en terme de cuisine, d ambiance, de service & de rapport qualité-prix auquel j'ai été jusque maintenant. Tout été délicieux! Nous étions 4 & avons été ravis (repas en soirée). Les cocktails sans alcool sont délicieux également. De la nourriture de qualité & des plats généreux. Je recommande chaudement! & j y retournerais sans l'ombre d'un doute lors de mon prochain séjour. Merci!
I find that there is too much sweetness in certain dishes like the Gazpacho & the vegetables on top of the Schnitzel . I would like more savory . Also the main Dinner Menu is too limiting .
Appetizer: The mushroom appetizer was very bland. It lacked spices to complement the texture of the mushrooms, making the dish not very flavorful. Main Course: The spaghetti dish was not good. You could taste the acidity of the tomatoes, which seemed not fresh. For this type of sauce, the tomatoes should be Italian & fresh, or the tomato paste should be well-cooked. However, the chicken was excellent. The mayonnaise sauce did not balance well with the other flavors in the dish The foie gras was excellent. 👌🏼
Reservation was for 7 & only ate our main at 9. We only ended up getting one drink because the first one took so long. Was not hungry by the time our main course came because the app was done almost an hour prior & had time to sit. Have been there when there was better service during the winter & was disappointed this time!! Server barely came to see us. No one apologized; it seemed normal for them. Unacceptable in our beautiful city!

On a commandé un steak medium saignant, la moitié était medium saignant alors que l'autre moitié était crue. On l'a pris pour emporter & on l'a cuisiné à la maison. Le service des plats principaux a pris 45 minutes, je trouve ça long. On nous a offert un verre de merlot, j'imagine que c'était pour compenser ou le steak ou l'attente. L'atmosphère est bonne, bon DJ, belles vues de la terrasse, le staff très sympa. Bref, on a aimé mais la situation dans la cuisine était problématique cette soirée-là.

First Timer: We decided to come by this place just for a quick snack kinda. It was a total of 3 of use, we ordered Red wine: 9/10 Oysters: 10/10 Martini : 10/10 Rum drink: 10/10 compliments to the bar tender Banana cake: 10/10 compliments to the chef this was absolutely amazing!! As you can see everything we ordered was just as amazing as the ambiance. It was everything & the waiter was so polite & helpful with the menu. I'm not from Canada I'm from the US & she did an amazing job. I highly recommend this restaurant. Next visit I will definitely stop by. Thank you
Très bel endroit avec un excellent service..malheureusement, la nourriture laissait vraiment à désirer. Mon poulet manquait de cuisson...pratiquement cru à certains endroits. Le peu de légumes d'accompagnement était froid. La bouteille de vin que j'ai pris coûtait près de 60$, alors que je m'attendais à une réserve privée dans ce type de restaurant, j'ai retrouvé la même bouteille à 11,20$ à la SAQ...faut quand même pas exagéré! Donc un souper à plus de 125$ par personne où je suis répartie très déçue & inquiète d'être malade.
Wow! Belle découverte. Menu court mais excellent mais avec de quoi pour tous les goûts. Beaux cocktails originaux. Super ambiance avec DJ sur la terrasse. Vue sur le centre-ville de la terrasse. Produits locaux & recherchés. Les prix sont moins chers que dans les chaînes que vous trouverez dans le complexe pour une nourriture de plus grande qualité.

Les entrées étaient excellentes ainsi que le dessert. L'escalope de veau avait trop de panure, le goût du veau se perdait dans ce surplus d'enrobage. À retirer du menu.
No BBQ ribs available for advertised BBQ Sundays. No oysters available. Flank steak substituted for ribs & server did not ask how how I wanted my steak cooked...although steak & sauce was tasty. Chicken. Beautiful restaurant with balcony/outdoor dining. Cost - $150, no liquor, no dessert. Disappointed overall with limited food choices at 5pm.
Wonderful restaurant. We sat outside on the terrace which is super lovely. The service was beyond amazing. Sarah did a wonderful job of making sure everything was good. We started with a dégustation du chef, which was pretty cool & had wonderful flavors. I had ordered the 50$ steak which I had asked for medium rare. Unfortunately it came out medium well, but one of the servers was quick to see my reaction & without hesitation had it replaced. It was better the second time around. My wife got the callenolis which I have to say, the sauce was incredible. All in all I would definitely go again, I'd probably skip the steak due to personally it not being worth the price.
