We loved our dinner, the soup & risotto I ordered were tasty & plenty in terms of portion. The service was excellent, we had a knowledgeable server & he even offered to slow down the service as he could see we weren't in a hurry... great attention to detail. Although the restaurant was quite full, it wasn't loud & we were able to enjoy conversation & take our time. Highly recommend.
Nous étions un groupe de quatre & tout le monde a adoré leurs plats, de l'entrée au dessert. Excellent qualité prix, incluant bières & vins. Beau resto aussi, plein d'espace.
Food was ok but I found the presentation lacking. Service was detached & not quite on the ball. Getting drinks refreshed or ordering additional items involved a lot of waiting & waving. The atmosphere was a little stiff overall.
Bonjour nous somme un trio de copains qui une ou deux fois par mois aimons à nous retrouver autour d'une bonne table, bonne bière & bon vin. Nous avions cessé d'aller chez Lionel car après une dizaine de visite, on avait fait le tour du menu à plusieurs reprises, donc à notre dernière visite, j'ai remarqué que c'était toujours le même menu. Peut-être que le temps est venu de visiter de nouvelles offres, la qualité est au rendez-vous, mais....
