This place was beautiful. The atmosphere is elegant & welcoming. The noise level is great for conversation. We really appreciated that it wasn't loud. They made my great uncles celebration very special. Service was excellent, she was attentive by topping up our wine when needed, a dish came out a bit cold they recooked the whole plate quickly enough, she also brought out a surprise dessert with sparkler. Food was excellent! The food was seasoned perfectly & everyone in our party was happy with taste & presentation. We tried the duck, octopus, Arctic char & lamb, plus a few desserts. Pavlova is incredible. Thank you again for a special evening.

Overall a 10 Plus. A must place to go & the best location.
Thanks to the staff of the restaurant & the hotel .
Beau décor, super service & ambiance le fun. Point négatif : Malgré les bons ingrédients dans notre assiette, les techniques culinaires sont déficientes, ce qui fait que les plats goûtent pas grand chose. Pour moi, ce n'est pas un bon resto français.
We had a wonderful lunch great food, amazing service very special kudos to our amazing waiter Alexia we will always remember his lovely manner & great recommendations & service.
Went for brunch & this did not disappoint!! Absolutely amazing food. We did not book a reservation but was able to sit at the bar & it was perfect! Great staff & even better food!
Stunning restaurant with beautiful decor. Unfortunately the good ends there like what many people said. We came here for brunch on Sunday & service was very slow & we had to follow up a couple times or go to the bar ourselves to get something . Drinks took 30 minutes to come & food was mediocre & not that impressive for hotel quality. The omelette was quite bland. The avocado toast was OK, but nice vinaigrette on the salad. The chocolate croissant was delicious though. Hopefully management takes this feedback & improve their service efficiency in the future.
Je suis allé à la Brasserie 701 pour le lancement du nouveau menu d'été au lunch & nous avons adoré l'expérience. On s'est vraiment régalés du début à la fin.
Les plats étaient savoureux, bien présentés & très bien exécutés. Gros coup de coeur aussi pour le service : une équipe chaleureuse, professionnelle & attentionnée tout au long du repas. On sent un vrai souci du détail & une belle passion pour l'expérience client. Mention spéciale à Aurore!
Stopped in for a cocktail before turning in. The Jardin Provencal was expertly made by a friendly young man who talked to us about local products. A great end to the day!
Our waitress Elodie was very friendly. She was alone serving a full section & remained friendly & checked in on us when she could. The food arrived cold & the'poached' egg was completely solid & hard boiled so that was disappointing. The food was fine overall but probably would've been better if it was warm. It was comical to watch the rest of the staff maneuver around our drinks when they came up at the bar; we watched 3 servers in a row unload entire trays of dishes over top of our drinks & no one ran them :(
I liked the food, & the service was great. It was romantic, however it got a bit loud. & the boeuf bourguignon had the most amazing tender meat, however when it comes to the flavour of the stew, I do think the one I make at home is better. Which suprised me. But overall, the food was great
