Incredibly attentive & friendly staff & the most excellent meal you will have in a while! Everything was outstanding. I had the gazpacho to start & the Alaskan black cod followed. It was so delicate surrounded by a silky sweet potato mash that was so delectable that I wiped my plate down with some bits of bread to not leave anything behind. It was phenomenal. Bravo!

Very good dinner & service. We shared the asparagus salad, & seafood plate for 2 & they were both excellent. Good wine list, & my girlfriend enjoyed her cocktail as well.

Tout d'abord, le service était excellent & attentionné. Les vins servis nous ont plu ainsi que le succulent porto 30 ans. Les desserts nous ont aussi ravis. Point faible: les assiettes sont trop souvent servies tièdes. & ce, encore ce samedi & malgré le fait que je l'avais mentionné à la serveuse. C'est la froideur des plats qui gâche le plaisir. La dernière fois que nous y étions allés, j'avais retourné mon assiette & mon mari avait mangé seul. Ce samedi, nous étions quatre convives. Mon mari & moi avons commandé la morue & nos amis ont partagé un poisson entier, coupé & arrangé directement à la table. Nos assiettes sont arrivées en premier, plutôt tièdes mais comme nous avons dû attendre que nos amis soient servis, j'ai encore mangé froid. Il serait sage que le cérémonial de la découpe soit exécuté avant de servir les assiettes individuelles & non l'inverse. Je soupçonne aussi que les légumes soient préparés à l'avance & qu'ils attendent dans l'assiette déjà montée que la morue soit cuite. Ce qui fait que les accompagnements sont servis tièdes presque froids. On y retournera car nous aimons bien ce restaurant & y allons régulièrement mais si nos plats sont encore servis froids, ce sera notre dernière visite chez Helena. Après tout, un repas pour quatre personnes à plus de 800$, on peut exiger de manger chaud.

It was our first time at Helena & we enjoyed it thoroughly. My rack of Lamb was perfect & his filet mignon was absolutely excellent.
