I almost dont want to leave a review out of fear of it being even harder to get a reservation lol Brought omnivores & they loved it so much that they proclaimed we can come back anytime.
The food is inventive & tasty, the ambiance is warm, the waiters are attentive to the point that you never need to ask for a thing but not in your face. I love this place.
Prices are very good for quality you get. Would love to see some mocktails on the menu.

Musique un peu trop forte pour un mercredi soir tranquille. Malheureusement, il fait horriblement froid dans le restaurant & c'est vraiment désagréable. J'y vais depuis des années, premiere fois que j'ai autant froid durant un repas. Il y avait meme des petits chauffages d'appoint un peu partout!
