Un endroit très agréable, avec une cuisine évolutive & originale, d'excellents cafés & une ambiance sympathique. Notre serveuse, Marie, était aux petits oignons avec nous, souriante, efficace & patiente, elle nous a bien expliqué le menu & nous offrait des alternatives aussi. La crème de maïs, le tartare de saumon, le croque-madame avec chou-fleur & la salade de betterave accompagnée de burrata étaient tous délicieux & très joliment présentés. Un après-midi entre amis très apprécié. Nous y retournerons!
One of my go-to lunch places. Never disappointed: food is consistently good to great, portions have gotten more generous lately (appreciated by my husband), nice atmosphere where you can hear yourself talking. Service is very friendly & efficient most of the time. At times, the staff seem a bit overwhelmed with providing service both at the counter & in the dining room. I think some extra staff would be of help.
Brunch du dimanche pour le 90e de ma mère & 65e de ma soeur. Très bonne table avec choix variés. Le service était excellent. Un gros WOW pour la gentillesse de la serveuse & pour son dynamisme. Je recommande ce resto
Bons assaisonnements relevant le goût des entrées & plats assez simples. Les assiettes sont joliement présentées. Bon service & bonne ambiance générale.

I am really not a fan of this place. I've been many times & all of their menu items are really not worth the hype. I am always left dissatisfied & sad with the bill too. We waited 40 minutes for the food to come. My dad got legit chips with his meal, not the British chips. Actual Lays chips.. they always only have like 4 mediocre items on their menu too
Nous fréquentons souvent cet endroit & nous sommes toujours satisfait du service & de la nourriture. La présentation des assiettes est superbes & le gout est excellent. Je recommande cet endroit à tous.
Food is fantastic, cute restaurant. I love that you can go browse the boutique while waiting for your food. Twice we went & had an older lady with short grey hair as our server. She is so unfriendly. She's bossy & mean & controlling. She doesn't smile & is overall very unpleasant. Every other worker is great, accommodating & friendly. At first I thought maybe she was just being rude to me because I am English speaking but all my quebecer family with me said she was very rude to them as well. Telling us how far our seats needed to be tucked in & pushing our chairs closer to the table. & when we went in the winter she tried to force us to hang up our jackets in the hallway when every other table had their jackets on the backs of their chairs. Many of us had our wallets in our jacketd & didnt bring purses so we a few kept their jackets on their chair. I hate confrontation so i just hung mine up in the hallway to not cause a fuss. Another thing is they try to squeeze in as many tables as possible but the space is small which makes it very hard for the servers & customers to move around. Over all I will keep going because the brunch is fantastic but the server really shouldny be in costumer service. She obviously doesn't like people. Might be time to retire.
