Délicieux comme toujours & pour nous, un plaisir de retrouver ce resto qui était un lieu de retrouvaille avant la pandémie.

The menu is very limited & over priced. The salad was old & the fries tasted like they were refried a second time. A very disappointing experience. Also don't think lunch for two people should come to $110 without any alcohol & the quality of food that was served.

As always, the meal was delicious & beautifully presented if not a bit overpriced for the size of the meal. The server was very pleasant & professional. People were spaced far apart in accordance with COVID regulations, but the tables were still spaced as they have been in the past. I would wonder if tables would be left empty if more people were in the restaurant. My friend & l will definitely return.
