Un restaurant qui vaut le détour. Nous avons passé une excellente soirée, dans une ambiance paisible & chaleureuse. Les plats étaient aussi bons les uns comme les autres. Le service était tout bonnement parfait avec des serveurs très souriants & passionnés. Si vous n'êtes pas amateur d'alcool, faites confiance au barman qui vous concoctera un délicieux mocktail. & si vous êtes curieux, je vous conseille fortement de goûter leurs huîtres signatures avec du foie gras, une superbe découverte. Merci à toute l'équipe pour cette belle soirée !

Fantastic meal last night - the seafood platter was so fresh , get the one with the lobster salad - it was worth it ! We also had the grilled octopus & the mussels both excellent. We're not normally pudding people but the financier was delicious. Really nice atmosphere & fantastic service, thank you to the absolutely charming girl who looked after us - we would love to go back

Excellent restaurant !!! nous l'avons découvert grace à Mtl à table & depuis toutes nos visites furent agréables. La cuisine est délicieuse & le service très cordial. Dommage que le restaurant ait perdu en popularité, l'ambiance est plutôt tranquille & froide. Somme toute, faut la peine d'être découvert !

It was a nice dinner: fried calamari was amazing, crispy & well spiced. Oyster mushrooms risotto is out of the ordinary, another word fantastic.

Le service n'était pas à la hauteur de nos attentes contrairement aux repas précédents. La serveuse a apporté des verres chauds pour servir du champagne. On a dû demander un saut à glace car elle n'y avait pas pensé...mais les premiers verres étaient servis. Pas de serviette sur le seau à glace lors du service du vin. On nous dit qu'il y du filet de doré au menu (ce qui est commandé) mais ce n'est pas ce qui a été servi.
