Tout était très bon. Le service impeccable, la nourriture délicieuse & l'ambiance très bien ! Nous nous sommes placé à l'extérieur, la planche de charcuterie était bien garnie, on nous rajoute du pain quand il n'y en a plus. Une portion de moule pour 2 avec portions de frites c'était largement suffisant, les moules étaient très bonne. Les 2 cocktails bien égalelent. Je recommande ce restaurant !

J'ai commandé le fish & chips, quand même dispendieux à 29$ pour 3 petits morceaux de morue avec des frites un peu molles. Malheureusement, mon poisson sentait l'ammoniac & j'ai du le retourner. Mon burger en guise de remplacement était gouteux mais la viande difficile à mastiquer.

Belle ambiance & décor mais trop cher.

Food was so amazing, but the lack of attention from our serve left a sour taste. Only saw him when he originally took our orders, never brought my drink until our meals came. He never checked in on us at all after our meals came which he didn't even bring out. Someone else brought our cheque & cashed us out. We had the duck, chicken & calamari. All was so amazing

I had returned to the restaurant after a wonderful experience last year & was somewhat disappointed with the food. I ordered the same dish - confit de canard - last time it came with delicious disc shaped crispy potatoes that were outstanding & the meat fell off the ones. This time it came with ordinary small roasted potatoes & the meat was dry & not nearly as tasty. Also, the frites that came with my guests steak were overcooked & cold. Most people were eating outside so the interior was a bit empty & less appealing but the service was very good. Overall not nearly as enjoyable as my first visit.

le menu a été légèrement revu, pour le mieux. Le carpaccio de poulpe est meilleur que la pieuvre grillée souvent coriace. Plus de choix sans lactose seraient appréciés
