De la porte d'entrée à la sortie tout était super, nous avons adoré notre expérience & surtout un gros merci au gentil Monsieur qui nous a jumelé à nos amis qui avaient déjà une réservation…grandement apprécié!

Que dire... Notre serveur a gâché notre expérience. Complètement perdu du début à la fin de son service, nous portait peu d'attention & on voyait que son attention était ailleurs (trop de tables à servir???) Ça a pris au moins 30 min afin de recevoir nos cocktails & un autre 15-20 min pour les entrées. Nourriture ok, mais pas exceptionnelle. Malheureusement, expérience négative par rapport à celle où j'avais essayé la succursale de Boucherville.

The food was delicious. The oyster platter with bottle of cremant was incredible. The fois gras parfait was not as good as we had hoped... the rest of the food was very good! Would definitely go back again. The waiter was very good & knew his stuff. Good recommendations! The atmosphere was good not very busy but nice for a night out.
