Très bonne nourriture. J'y reviendrai. Service, 0. Aucun service a part le propriétaire au début. Sinon, rien & ça veut son tip.

On est tellement chanceux d'avoir ce restaurant à Saint-Lambert. Que ce soit pour un 5-7, un souper en famille ou un lunch take out pendant le travail, c'est toujours délicieux.
Surtout le bol avec la bavette de boeuf.
Toute l'équipe de Station Vet raffole des dîners commandés à ce restaurant.

Merci!
