I enjoyed a dinner on their patio on a Saturday. We all enjoyed our meals but found the service was slow. It took over 45 minutes for us to get our appetizers & drinks. It wasn't very busy at all, either. I'm hoping it was just a bad night for the staff because the food was really good. I had the Peking duck for my main while my companions had steak frites, lobster mac n' cheese & scallops (?). The only disappointing plate was the grilled vegetable appetizer. Its sauce, maybe a teriyaki variety, was too sweet.

Superbe endroit à Verdun. Beau restaurant, belle terrasse. La bouffe est très bonne & le service impeccable.Nous avons commandé les edamames, les pleurotes & les bouchées au crabe, & tout était succulent. Allez faire un tour, ça vaut le détour !
It used to my favorite place - I used to go there when I wanted to have a little break after work. Food & service are good. But after a year the small menu is still the same, I get bored in there.
Parfaite ambiance pour partager des plats & prendre un verre entre amis! Excellente nourriture, service attentionné & sympathique, déco festive & moderne. Je recommande!
C'était une soirée parfaite! Agréable ambiance. Le menu nous a patiemment été expliqué. Notre rythme pour passer les commandes a été respecté ; on ne s'est pas senti bousculé. La nourriture servie était délicieuse. C'est une adresse à retenir.
Très bel accueil! Service impeccable & personnalisé. Le personnel a pris le temps de nous expliquer le menu & de s'assurer d'un suivi de l'expérience menu. Nous avons grandement apprécié!

Great ambiance, service & food. Happened to go on $1 oyster night, which was yummy. We had the giant shrimp which was great. Disappointed with the calamari. Maybe the batter or sauce, but it just wasn't jiving with us. The Mac n Cheese was delicious although a little sparse on chorizo. The cocktails were perfectly made with care. Had a wonderful evening, but it was on the pricey side in the end, it not uncommon for this class of restaurant.
Vraiment super service! La serveuse était amicale, connaissait les produits & nous les explicait avec facilité. J'ai même eu droit à une petite dégustation d'un alcool à propos duquel j'avais posé des questions. & les assiettes étaient toutes délicieuses. Mention spéciale aux edamames à l'huile de truffe ; les meilleurs que j'ai mangé dans ma vie!
