Excellente expérience chez Escondite ! La nourriture & l'ambiance étaient super. Un gros merci à notre serveuse Sophie, qui a offert un service attentionné & chaleureux tout au long du repas. Nous avons aussi apprécié qu'Éric, le gérant, prenne le temps de venir se présenter & de s'assurer que tout était à notre goût. Ce souci du détail & du service à la clientèle fait toute la différence. Nous reviendrons avec plaisir !

Restaurant was empty but because we had no reservation they had us sit outside. Annoying, but no big deal. Then we were ignored for 20 minutes.
