i couldnt ask for a better place for a family reunion after years of not seeing each other, food was fantastic, staff/owner are on the spot, service was aswome, even with little details such as wine decanter, pot of candies etc. i recommand this place, well established restaurent loved it verry much!

Came in with a group of 25 for dinner. The atmosphere was nice albeit the music was unnecessarily loud. The service was fantastic, every server we had seemed to enjoy their job. You can tell they're passionate, & it made the atmosphere much more enjoyable. The only issue was the food. The presentation was nice, however the taste was... For the price we weren't very satisfied but at least the serving sizes made up for the other aspects, lol.
Nous avons réservé pour 17h30, nous sommes arrivées pour 17h30 & a 18h45, à peine terminé notre repas principal, on nous demandait de nous dépêcher parce qu'il y avait des gens qui attendait pour notre table. Nous avons reçu notre facture (une facture pour toute la table), personne n'est venu nous collecter jusqu'a temps qu'un des serveurs viennent nous voir pour nous dire qu'il serait le temps de payer en déposant sauvagement la machine interac sur la table. Nous lui avons demandé de séparer les factures en noux expliquant comment c'est possible de nous charger pour de l'eau PLATE à 8$. Une fois que les factures ont été payées, alors que nous mettions notre manteau, un autre serveur est venu nous dire de libérer la table. Le pire service que j'ai eu de ma vie, malgré le cout de notre facture de 100$ chacune... avoir su, on serait allée au Mcdo & on aurait eu une meilleure ambiance, meilleure nourriture & meilleur service. Dans un monde où la restauration en arrache & que nous trouvons le moyen malgré tout d'aller au restaurant, cette expérience ne donne absolument pas le goût de les aider a prospérer. Alors qu'il y a des restos encore plus respectables & chaleureux qui ferment, dommage que celui ci reste ouvert.
