Had a great dinner experience with family - group of 10 ; square table set up allowed easy conversation - we loved our dishes, especially the filet mignon, local fish & amazing ribs .Service was excellent, too.

Highly recommend the escargot, as well. Requested without cheese
We'll definitely be dining here again.

I cant believe I have not reviewed this place before. This is a Gem of Sainte Sauveur.

I have been going to this place for almost 2 decades & as long as ive been cottaging in the sainte sauveur & tremblant area. The first time I tried it my cottage was over an hour away & it was worth every min.

The ribs are fantastic. I have lots of confidence in the rest of the food but I personally always get a full rack.

The staff are also absolutely wonderful.

Even today they made a point of reminding me that calling in my order would have saved me some money vs placing it online.

I highly highly recommend. It is worth the trip.

I visited with my family for a rare dinner out. We've eaten there before & already knew we would enjoy it. They didn't let us down. The friendly atmosphere & service with a smile. Their food was just as good as I remembered. Highly recommend this great local family restaurant.
