We had a fabulous meal at La Serpent with excellent service. I'll be honest, I don't go out for a fancy meal often, but this treat for my husband's birthday was totally worth it.

Belle ambiance, décor hangar contemporain urbain. Samedi dernier, ma femme & moi avons été servis par Éric vers 19h. Enthousiaste de nous présenter le menu , après l'apéritif nous avons opté pour une burrata & un tartare de thon avec wasabi en entrée; tous deux excellents. Nous avons choisi de prendre un verre de Chianti pour lequel Éric nous a même proposé une bouteille hors menu. Nous avons noté cette attention. Comme plat principal, nous avons partagé le contre filet de boeuf Angus AAA avec légumes & une purée gratinée; l'assiette plus dispendieuse du menu. Quelle déception cette pièce de viande, pleine de nerf, difficile à couper & encore plus à mâcher. Le plus décevant est que j'ai positionné certains morceaux inmangeable pour que le serveur me demande si tout a bien été, mais je me doute qu'il ait intentionnellement évite la question pour ne pas avoir de remous. Je suis persuadé qu'il a remarqué car son attitude est soudainement devenue non-chalant jusqu'à la fin du repas. Je suis resté sur ma faim 400$ plus tard. Commentaire au propriétaire par l'entremise du site de réservation qui ma envoyé une requête d'évaluation, mais aucune nouvelle. Dans cette gamme de prix, le service & le souci de satisfaire la clientèle est tout aussi importante que la préparation culinaire. Je dois dire que j'ai vu mieux.

A great dining experience between the food & service. I would highly recommend the venison if it is on offer. The Rococo is one delicious way to end your meal. The dining room is somewhat small & quite ambient so if a neighboring table is loud it affects everyone.

J'ai passé une très belle soirée assise au bar avec une copine. Philippe a eu une belle attention pour nous à notre arrivée. Livia nous a offert un fabuleux service. De beaux échanges avec le reste du staff dont Claudine & Eric. Il faut toujours s'asseoir au bar! ;) Nous avons bien mangé & bien bu. Chaleureux & accueuillant!

An Italian meal that wasn't spectacular but was delicious. However, dessert was a huge disappointment. My sister & I chose the following dishes: - Parfait au Foie Gras (appetizer) ~ $32 - Octopus (appetizer) ~ $26 - Lobster Risotto (main course) ~ $53 - Magret de Canard (main course) ~ $46 - Tiramisu (dessert) ~ $18 - Strawberry Rhubarbe (dessert) ~ $18 Talking about the food, I especially like the foie gras with the combination of cherries that makes the dish very fresh, but still retains the original flavor of the foie gras with a light, fatty elegance & a smooth texture. However, the Lobster Risotto, although the dish that my sister & I were looking forward to, was a bit bland, the flavor was normal & nothing special. Dessert was a real disappointment. This is the worst tiramisu I have ever eaten, whether it is a mid-range restaurant, dessert shops or Michelin restaurants, all have desserts that are superior to this one. My sister & I were having a very comfortable & enjoyable dinner, but the dessert experience made the meal go down a notch. In terms of space, the restaurant will be a bit difficult to find with a rather dark space. The price does not include 15% VAT & 25% tip. The total bill was nearly $300 for 2 people, not too expensive but still not worthy of the quality that my sister & I expected.
