Overall, guests describe Le Balthazar as a lively spot with a welcoming vibe, a wide beer selection, and solid food that pairs well with music from live bands or a DJ. The service is consistently praised for friendliness, attentiveness, and smooth operation, making it a good fit for gatherings with friends or a casual date.

While some nights can be loud and portions vary, the place remains a reliable go-to for good times, tasty bites, and dependable hospitality.
The tables are very close together & the music is fairly loud so it is hard to have a conversation. My burrata pasta dish was very bland & the cheese was not very fresh. Of the 4 dishes ordered at the table only one was decent which was the chicken pesto sandwich. The servers were not very attentive & I had asked to add a cesar salad to my order & they finally came around after our main meals had been finished to see if I still wanted it.

The restaurant is very nicely decorated. The tables are small. The music is loud. Very hard to have a conversation if you were a table of 6. The prices are high for the quantity of food received. Service was very good, but as the restaurant filled up the service slightly degraded.
La musique du duo de musiciens était beaucoup trop forte. Puisque nous allions dans un restaurant pour bien manger, bien boire, passer un bon moment, mais surtout jaser, ce dernier point a été très difficile. Nous n'allions pas pour voir un spectacle (même s'ils étaient très bons) alors peu de temps après le repas, notre groupe de 11 personnes, sommes partis.
Mon seul point négatif est que la musique est trop forte, alors tout le monde doit parler fort pour se comprendre. Les gens y vont pour discuter & non pour écouter de la musique & danser non plus...
Les musiciens étaient excellent mais comme le niveau sonore est beaucoup trop élevé je n'y retournerai pas les soirs où il y a un band.
The music is awesome. I ordered a song, & the band played it very beautifully. We didn't try food, but the beer was great. They have a certain IPA fumé, very delicious. Will definitely go back again.
The live music is great but we were seated right next to the band, like we were almost the stage for how close we were. It's really hard to have a conversation with music blaring in your ears. I know you're trying to maximize the seating but it's not enjoyable to be yelling to have a conversation. I wont come back or recommend this place because of this
Jeudi le 19 oct 2023, nous étions un groupe de 4, la musique était beaucoup trop forte, très compliqué de se parler. Nous avons parlé de cet enjeux avec le serveur, il nous a dit que le restaurant ne pouvait rien faire, que c’est le musicien qui a le contrôle. Nous n’allons pas retourner manger là bien que les plats sont bons & le service aussi, c’est juste désagréable & au final la soirée n’est pas terrible.
Jeudi le 19 oct 2023 en soirée. La musique est beaucoup trop forte, c'est très compliqué de se parler à la table, nous étions que 4 personnes. Nous avons parlé de l'enjeu a notre serveur, ce dernier a mentionné que le restaurant n'avait pas de contrôle sur le volume & que c'est seulement les musiciens qui pouvaient reduire le niveau sonore, je me questionne sur la validité de cette explication, à la fin les musiciens ils sont payés par le restaurant. En bref, nous ne pensons pas retourner manger dans ce restaurant ce n'est pas agréable.

Food was delicious .. Our server Francis was amazing. He was Polite , professional & friendly ! The only thing I really didnt enjoy was the music .. The girl singer kept screaming sooooo loud (I’m sorry but that wasn’t singing ) in the end we all left with a headache but a full tummy with delicious food .
Bonne expérience en général. Le gros bémol, c'est le musicien. Il était excellent, mais de grâce, baisser le volume de moitié! Ce n'est pas une discothèque quand même!. On devait crier pour s'entendre parler, même face à face. C'était abrutissant comme son & nos oreilles ont bourdonné en sortant. Bref, belle place, mais je n'amènerais plus jamais ma gang là. Dommage.
