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!View more

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.View more

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.View more

Fiasco date night Decor 8/10 , Rachel our waitress fabulous, The Arctic Char appetizer Nice, The octopus entree divine, The Fish prepped perfectly for my wife ! THE FILET MIGNON 0/10 asked medium rare came medium - well done, sadly my wife had her meal also at the same time, & ate alone 🤦♂️ I asked for bread - it was cold & dry sadly Because it took them 25 minutes to make another Filet Mignon, & put it back in a plate with cold polenta From my original plate!! & this is a classic i get it rare ,why? chef was worried to over cook! Meanwhile my wife ate her food 55 minutes. Prior to me finishing kind of a bummer for 268$ meal, no Manager came to the table Only the waitress who had no words & offered dessert on the house So many things went well & then boom fiasco! The steak redo could have come way quicker....sad ☹️View more

dined with a group of 8. Encouraged to take their sampling course....approx 9 courses. Food was outstanding. Service was subpar. Total experience was over 4 hours long (way too long). some servings were explained & others just placed on table with no communication.View more
