Première visite à ce restaurant de la rue Duluth. Un Apportez votre vin comme beaucoup de restos du genre dont les prix ne justifient pas le contenu des assiettes. Entrées minimalistes, plat principal correct & un seul & unique dessert sur la carte ce soir-là. Service décontracté. En résumé, je ne pense pas y retourner.
Le service était d'une qualité admirable. L'ensemble des 3 serveuses étaient au top & se sont assurées que le repas se passait sans encombre. Cependant, bien que bons, les plats étaient à un prix bien trop élevé pour la qualité du repas. Cela reste un restaurant sympathique en terrasse!

Accueil des plus agréables, terrasse & ambiance parfaite, qualité de la nourriture originalité dans les saveurs. Merci aux serveurs, serveuses & cuisiniers.
Totally delicious, amazing ambiance, awesome staff. Portions a little small for my taste but I say that about everywhere.. I'm a hungry man i guess. Halibut ratatouille was superb.
Food was wonderful. However, seating was uncomfortable, service was a bit absent (avoiding eye contact), & meal was unbearably long arriving... & then arrived in pieces, some taking 20 minutes longer than others... It ended up being not very fun. Too bad. Quality of meals had potential, it was quite good when it arrived. Experience was uncomfortable & disappointing though.

Très agréable terrasse sur Duluth, service hors pair. Belle carte. Huîtres bien assaisonnées. Pieuvre savoureuse. Portions de tartare généreuses. N'oubliez pas d'apportez votre vin, il y a une SAQ à deux pas.
Super restaurant, belle ambiance & excellente bouffe. A noter qu'ils ont même mis des couvertures disponibles pour les clients lors des températures froides pour manger sur la terrasse! Vraiment belle attention!
Un service courtois, la bouffe était vraiment délicieuse. On était sur la terrasse & on a vraiment apprécier la bonne musique & l'ambiance décontracté. Le petit plus de la soirée pour moi a été les couvertures disponibles aux clients en cas de soirée fraîche. Franchement ce petit détail à fait ma soirée. On a passé une super soirée & on reviendra sans aucun doute, merci !
