This was our second time eating at Le Riverain. Our first time, almost one year ago, was wonderful 5 stars for Food, Service & Atmosphere. When I pay $500 CAD on dinner for two people I expect impeccable. The location/atmosphere was impeccable both times. The service was darn near impeccable.

My only complaint, when I ask for an old fashioned with bourbon, the waiter told me because of tariffs there is no bourbon. When I mentioned in your a list there is 15-20 bourbons he said where. I showed him in their spirts/cocktails book he quickly said let me check. They had both Canadian & US bourbons so I ordered one with a single barrel Jack Daniels. When the waiter brought it he couldn't resist telling me they just opened the last bottle of Jack Daniels. This won't get better until you elect someone new in two years. I'm here to enjoy a wonderful night out with my wife on her birthday - so I refused to engage him. Entertainers & restauranteurs should understand, by now, that people come to escape the woes of the world & have fun, not debate politics. My drink was impeccable.

The food was the biggest disappointment. It was no where near our first experience. The bread,'3 bites' tasting was good. We had two different appetizers my wife's foie gras was great my tomato with halloumi was edible - not bad but not good. The entrees were the downfall my wife's black cod tasted old & my fillet mignon was extremely crusty & cut in half but the Madeira sauce was lovely.

Our desserts of strawberry/rhubarb tart were very tart, the rhubarb fence was tough & stringy but the sorbet on top was delicious.

We're unsure if the problems are due to a different chef, mid week, fall versus summer or something more endemic. We'll probably not return.

Nous avons beaucoup apprécié la nourriture! Très rafiné & on voit le travail dans la recherche. Que dire du service, sinon qu'il est impeccable, professionnel & surtout, très attentionné. Merci à toute la brigade!

This is our 3rd time at this restaurant. We come here always to celebrate a special event. Even though this time it was raining, the atmosphere sitting close to the water is still amazing! The food was absolutely delicious! We had the table d'hôte & enjoyed every single dish! The chef surpassed himself! & the service was top quality!

Le risotto au homard, têtes de violon & fromage....ce n était pas un risotto... riz arborio dans une bisque de homard.. pas de têtes de violon, fromage(?)... déception 48$ le midi. Un risotto doit être crémeux, vin blanc, il doit être onctueux & riche de goût.... une déception
