Worst restaurant experience we've had. From the seating to taking our order, the service was cold & unwelcoming. An older waiter kept staring at our kids while they were eating bread, which made us very uncomfortable.
As non-white customers, the attitude felt discriminatory throughout the entire experience. We lost our appetite, paid for two bottles of sparkling water, & left.
Very disappointing for such a well-known restaurant.
This is a special spot on the West Island of Montreal. We recently took 12 guests who had expressed the desire for local Quebec cuisine. They were not disappointed! The attention to the little details, the food was delicious, tasty with beautiful aromas. Selection of wine is ample. It's a hidden gem & a great spot for all sorts of entertaining or a special date night. The historical house makes it even more special, you can really sense the history. During the summer of the patio is a great size with awning & flowers throughout. Summer nights make it a spot not to be missed. For those looking for a quick bite & a drink, there's a small bar area with top shelf Spirits. Over the last 25 years we've always enjoyed visiting with family, bring people for business when possible & when in Montreal. It's always a short hit, with people wanting to go back. Thank you to chef Sean & MICHAEL & Jessica for the hospitality.
Restaurant dont la réputation est surévaluée. Cote 3.5 sur 5
Très très cher compte tenu de la qualité & de la cuisson des aliments.
Ne retournerai plus à ce restaurant & ne le recommanderai plus.
Très insastifait.
The food arrived cold & looked like it had been sitting for a while. The pasta was dry, the sauce lacked flavor, & the chicken was overcooked. For the prices charged, I expected much better quality. Presentation was sloppy, & the portion sizes were small. Extremely disappointing.
Though not my first time here, I celebrated a milestone birthday this February. My friend & I were not disappointed. The staff, the service, the food...💯%.
Started off with a nice bottle of wine. The terrine & the mushroom entrée were outstanding. My friend & I both had the shrimp & scallops. The sprouts could have been a little crunchier for our taste, but overall, delicious. To finish off, our crème brûlée topped off a fantastic meal.
I will definitely come back for my next big 0
We flew in from San Diego, California for business & a mini vacation. We came to this spot for a business dinner but wound up having so much fun. The food is absolutely delicious, the atmosphere is lovely & cozy, & the staff are knowledgeable & helpful. We highly recommend this place & can't wait to come back!!
