Très bien reçu avec mon fils qui a un an & demi. Le cadre est superbe & l'ambiance agréable grâce aux musiciens. Je recommande particulièrement la crêpe avec la glace au sirop d'érable pour le dessert : elle est délicieuse & joliment servie.

Nous sommes allés au Jardin Nelson en famille &, dans l'ensemble, nous avons passé un bon moment. L'ambiance est vraiment agréable, surtout avec le groupe de jazz qui jouait en direct. C'était très relaxant & les enfants ont beaucoup aimé écouter les musiciens pendant le repas.

Par contre, j'ai un avis plus mitigé sur la nourriture. Nous avons commandé une salade César, un avocado toast & des macaronis pour les enfants. Les plats étaient corrects, mais j'ai trouvé le rapport qualité-prix assez décevant. L'avocado toast, notamment, était très cher pour ce qui était servi : une seule tranche de pain, une très fine couche de guacamole, quelques tranches de saumon fumé, des graines & une petite salade en accompagnement. Pour le prix, je m'attendais à quelque chose de beaucoup plus généreux.

Le temps d'attente nous a aussi semblé assez long, surtout considérant la simplicité des plats. J'ai également demandé s'il était possible de préparer un poke sans l'ingrédient piquant, mais on m'a répondu que ce n'était pas possible puisque tout était déjà préparé, ce que j'ai trouvé un peu dommage.

Bref, c'est un bel endroit où l'on va surtout pour l'ambiance & la musique. Si c'était uniquement pour le repas, je ne suis pas certaine que j'y retournerais

We had a party of six, & everyone's food & drinks were amazing-& reasonably priced too. We sat in the inner courtyard for dinner & very much enjoyed the live jazz music & ambience. Super happy with the experience.

Food is really average, I live in Toronto, we can find a lot of better restaurants with same price. I ordered a chicken poke bowl, a claw chowder & a cup of coffee, with tips I paid 58 dollars. The lady guided me to the seat offered me a tilted table, I asked her to offer me a better one, obviously there were many good places to seat. The atmosphere is nice. By the way, tables & chairs are grassy & ugly.

Food is great. Eating on the open terrasse is a blast with the music. We had a live singer singing jazz for the terrasse.

Magnificent terrace & a great atmosphere with lovely live music! We came for lunch time around 2pm & got seated right away. Our server was great & food was tasty!

Très belle terrasse avec une belle ambiance.
La nourriture est correct sans plus.
Nous avons commandé des nachos, une pizza carnivore & une lasagne aux légumes.
Par contre, le service a été exceptionnel.
Pour les cocktails signature, les 2 choisis étaient ordinaires.

This place has an amazing patio! It's very cute & the live music really makes it amazing for a dinner date!

Although I feel the food is not a good as before it still isn't the worst, & the vibes really make up for it.

Unfortunately, this is my second time coming & sadly we had a bit of poor service since although we understand it rush hour we felt a bit pressured on leaving.

Our server was a bit rude when requesting if we could do something for our friend's birthday, like putting a candle on the dessert, so we just ended up getting dessert somewhere else.

I don't know if it was bad luck, but I was really hoping the food & service was as good as the first time we went!
