Je vous recommande la soupe à l'onion & le steak frite. L'attente n'était pas trop longue & le restaurant n'est pas trop bruyant. On a vraiment apprécié la qualité de la nourriture. Le seul bémol : la farce sur la salade d'endives étaient ridicule… voir photo.

Manager sans manières vraiment voir quasiment agressif. Je comprends comment un système de service peut se baser sur des personnes comme ça.

Très belle ambiance, excellent service, & plats gourmands & bien travaillés! Grosse déception sur le plat néanmoins : la quantité de ravioles clairement insuffisante pour 21$. Notre serveuse nous avait même témoigné que des enfants restaient sur leur faim avec cette quantité. Le principe d'un bouillon c'est pourtant des plats généreux à prix réduit. Bien dommage… mention néanmoins spéciale pour le riz au lait extraordinaire !

The only complaint I have about this restaurant is that if you're sitting along the windows facing the windows, place is a little tight & when waiters or waitresses pass behind you, they tend to bump into your back.

We had an absolutely great dinner. If we weren't here for such a short period we would certainly be back to try some more! The food, cocktails & wine were delicious. The staff were easily able to accommodate my gluten free partner. We sat at the bar & our bartender was lovely.
