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.

Il faisait tres froid dans le restaurant & quand nous l'avons mentionner ils ont dit que l'air climatisé c'était enclenché sans qu'il ne puisse rien faire. Sinon comme toujours nourriture excellente!
