One of the best meals i've had this year. Delicious food with a great ambiance that welcomes people as they are. No false pretense or pretentious allure. Just good food & good people.

Excellent food, very warm service, just a bit pricey but every once in a while it's worth it to experience something other than a poutine.

Maybe it was what I ordered maybe not. I found it overpriced on the food. It was delicious although somewhat bland. I wish there was more options but I think it's a rotating menu. The service was impeccable. Very friendly staff. A little loud inside but it was 10:30pm. Cheers from Halifax, NS.

Restaurant légendaire, & ce n'est pas pour rien. Le boeuf est absolument sublime & notre entrée de fruits de mer était divine. Pour un repas spécial où on se délectera, c'est parfait!

The beef Wellington, which included foie gras as well as truffle on top was absolutely delicious. Definitely one of the best items I have ever eaten at a restaurant!

Everything is well crafted, very rich, & very delicious. The chocolate tart with hazelnut mousse was an unexpected delight. The whole menu is a marriage of excellent technique with rustic sensibilities. Legendary spaghetti homard deserves its fame but is slightly heavy handed on the bacon.
