Nous y sommes allés le lendemain de l'ouverture, l'ambiance était géniale, on m'a fait un Mojito sans alcool (très bien), mon chum a bien aimé le vin rouge qu'on lui a proposé, on a bien mangé & le service était vraiment impeccable!

Le drink que j'aie choisis était pas buvable & je trouve exagérer de payé 17$ pour un entré de calmar.

The food was delicious. Loved their tacos! Had an entree of calamari with an orange sauce that was super good. Drank two Jarritos (one strawberry & another mango) The waiters (shoutout to Antoine & Simon) who are super attentive & kind (even the managers who I waved & said hi to!) Overall amazing & chill vibe here! Will come back with friends & even by myself at times! 😊

Belle ambiance, serveuse attentionnée & soucieuse qu'on passe un bon moment. Nous avons pris Margarita, Bloody César & fajitas à partager, c'était très bon. Une belle découverte dans le vieux St-Lambert.

La cuisine était correcte. Les cocktails étaient décevants. Se vantent de faire de bonnes Margaritas mais je n'ai pas trouvé une seule recette de Margaritas sur Google sans Triple sec ou autre liqueur d'orange. Il y a juste El Gordo qui la fait Tequila, agave & jus de lime. Vous devriez engager un mixologue pour revoir vos drinks.
