2nd time I got to this restaurant & never again. Service sucked big time. We arrived at 18:30 for a Bday party (16 people). We were brought downstairs where ONLY one waiter was catering to 32 people. After ordering our cocktails, entrees & main dish, we received our entrees around 8pm...& our main dish arrived at 9:10pm....way too long in between services... Never again.

We just had a fantastic meal here! It was not too crowded but by the time we left it was bustling. Really good, fresh, flavorful. Wonderful attention from our server too. I highly recommend!

La nourriture était délicieuse & le service « aux petits oignons ». Tous les employés sur le plancher étaient vraiment gentils. Un restaurant qui vaut vraiment la peine d'être essayé.

L'ambiance est vraiment plaisante.

Les prix sont vraiment correct pour les portions généreuses.

Mon seul petit bémol/proposition est que la carte de vin pourrait être améliorer, dû moins selon mes goûts personnels.
