Nous y sommes déjà allés donc nous savions ce qui nous attendait. La nourriture est excellente, inventive; le service est courtois & amical. Seul bémol: l'endroit devient vite très bruyant.
Repas excellent, sauce & garnitures originales.
Service attentionné. Musique un peu fortes même avec les grandes portes ouvertes.
Très belle soirée de mai
Merci
We really loved our meal here. The food was fresh, the preparations inventive & tasty, & the staff both professional & friendly. We are visiting from NYC, spending a month in Montreal & are very happy that we came here early in our stay, since we may well come back again. Highly recommended. Reminder: BYOB.
Bon accueil; excellent service; endroit bruyant; pieuvre à améliorer; contre-filet de veau excellent qui allait à merveille avec notre délicieux Côte Rôtie 2007.
