Le service était parfait mais côté cuisine le Ris de veau immangeable, fade & insipide , l'entrée de feuilleté de champignons bâclé sans sauce on savait pas si ça devait être chaud ou froid... La Prunelle PLUS JAMAIS
A truly excellent dining experience. First, the restaurant features a wonderful & bright atmosphere. The garage door style windows all around the dining room make you feel part of the intimate surrounding neighborhood, giving diners a feeling of the outdoors even when they are inside. The room is airy, nicely decorated, & though far from quite, the noise level is moderate enough to speak in conversational tones. Second, the service is exceptional. It is friendly & well-paced. Third of course is the food. All of our courses were flavorful & beautifully presented, & featured a generous portion size. I can highly recommend the trout tartare appetizer, which featured a milder & more delicate flavor than the traditional salmon tartare. As a main course, the steak was perfectly medium rare. It was tender & tasty, & cut easily. The chocolate souffle with homemade soft ice cream for dessert was a fabulous topper to the meal. I would highly recommend that you do as I, & have the ice cream on the side. If there was only one minor flaw in the entire meal, it was that the cappuccino was on the rather weak side. Overall a terrific night. I foresee many return visits.
Nourriture 5 etoiles, superieure aux attentes, excellent service, le resto en lui-même est un peu petit & echo, pas super cher mais pas donné non plus. Apportez votre vin ça c'est apprécié
A EVITER! Nous avons réservé pour 4 personnes au 1er service à 18h15 & on nous a obligés à quitter la table à 19h30 pour le 2ème service. Nous avons payé plus de 300$ à quatre & pour nous forcer à partir, le manager nous a rappelé deux fois qu'il fallait partir, puis a ramassé les verres de la table en nous disant que nous étions "bêtes"...
Tout était parfait. Délicieux tartare de truite, entrée délicieuse & excellent service.
Seul bémol les portions sont un peu petites, pourraient être un peu plus garnis.

Très bon service & très bonne ambiance (malgré notre table du fond derrière un appareil frigorifique). Chaque plat était très bon. Nous avons passé un bon moment & nous reviendrons.
Service très attentionnée, la mise en valeur des produits du Québec rend l'expérience intéressante. Cuisson de la viande sous vide délicieuse, flétan cuit à la perfection. Nous y retournerons évidemment.
