Nous avons apprécié le service, chouette resto quoique il n'y avait pas foule, c'était un mardi.
Pour la table d'hôte, les entrées très bien (carpaccio & gravlax), en plat principal: le risotto un peu lourd, tartare de saumon & tartare de boeuf - la portion aurait pu être plus généreuse, salade de chèvre chaud excellente quant au dessert très bien (profiterole & mi-cuit).
Nous y retournerons un vendredi ou un samedi pour plus d'atmosphère.
came here with my hubs for date night. I had an awesome filet mignon & crazy good leeks/potatoes? husband had a Bavette which was delicioso my friends!!
service is awesome. I ordered a dessert which was not up to par(over cooked) & the server recognized immediately & apologized & did not charge us a penny for it.
I will definitely go back. what a treat!
Honnetement, nous nous attendions a beaucoup plus en general. Le service de la serveuse etait vraiment ordinaire, pas mauvais, juste tres ordinaire. Pour la nourriture, le foie gras etait tres bien, mais le tartare de boeuf etait tres decevant, aucun gout & boeuf ne semblait pas frais. Le magret de canard etait mastiqueux & pas tendre du tout. Les desserts etaient par contre excellents! Le petit cheesecake & les profiteroles, succulents!

Quel bon restaurant! Tout était délicieux, de l'entrée au dessert, en passant par l'assiette de fromage. Mon épouse & moi avons tellement apprécié la saveur des aliments, leur fraîcheur, leur présentation & la cuisson du pavé de saumon tout comme celle de la bavette étaient parfaites. Nous ne pouvons ignorer le service qui a été impeccable. C'est avec plaisir que nous y retournerons & que nous recommandons ce restaurant.
Ok.. So let's start with the positive. The service was adequate enough. Restaurant was at 50 % capacity & therefore we received fair attention. I ordered a velouté d'haricot blanc avec sirop d'erable & bacon crousillant. Wow! He should have said velouté de sirope d'erable avec haricot! It was way way too sweet & felt really like dessert. I had to add quite a bit of salt to balance out all the sweetness. Then came the tartare. It was a regular tartare. Nothing to go running home about. & finally the main dish. Not good. It was the lamb osso buco. I would have been embarrassed to serve such a dish. First things first, the lamb were these three tough hard little pieces & the meat did not fall off the bone the way a slow cooked osso buco should fall off. This meat was served in a bowl accompanied by plain bland tagliatelle that must have beenprecooked early in the morning & passed under boiling water for thirty seconds. It had absolutely no spring to it. Just horrible. It sat in the bowl with a little watered down juice from the osso buco- could be that the water even came from the pasta not being well drained. Anyhow dessert was good. Had this crispy caramel mousse. We would have liked a percolated coffee but again there, impossible. Had to serve us "un caffé a l'americain" which was a extra long watered down espresso. & lastly, at ten thirty, the place turned into a club. I assumed that the waiter was friends with a table of 10 ppl close to the kitchen & he started playing very horribly loud music to the point that we couldn't hear ourselves speak. We endured this for at least 20 minutes until we were annoyed to no end. So we wanted to leave, but we kept looking at the direction of the counter & although we we're acknowledge by I think the bartender, we still had to wait for Mr. Waiter to find the right song on his iPhone for his friends while we waited for our bill under the blasting music. I don't plan on returning to this restaurant & certainly will not be recommending it.
Nous sommes venus pour un diner entre amis, & avons etes ravis du service malgre une salle bien remplie un samedi soir. Les differentes table d'hote offrent plusieurs options satisfaisantes a des prix abordables. Nous avons eu entre autres, des tagliatelles au foie gras, une bavette & des desserts delicieux. C'est un tres bon restaurant que je recommenderai sans hesiter!
Bonjour,
Nous avons apprécié le service.
& notamment le fait d'avoir une cruche d'eau sur la table. Les prix étaient corrects pour les plats proposés.
Malheureusement les cuissons n'étaient pas maîtrisées.
Magret de canard saignant au lieu de rosé & poisson un peu trop cuit du point de vue de ma blonde.
Là où je n'ai pas compris, vraiment, ceux sont les desserts :
je m'attendais à une tarte aux pommes maisons :-(
& le clafoutis aux framboises était plutôt liquide & pas le goût d'un clafoutis.
Nous aurions dû le manifester & ça aurait peut être amélioré notre expérience, car je pense que le serveur très sympathique, aurait accepté de nous les changer.
Un peu trop bruyant pour être romantique. Il vaut mieux y aller avec des amis, je pense.
