This experience was very nice, the service is welcoming. We had the wild mushroom escargot, the pepper cognac filet mignon & the chimichurri onglet with a side of lobster tail. The meat was cooked precisely though the side of season vegetables were simply steamed. This is very boring considering it's a 65$ order, I believe there was a lack of creativity on that front. Some of the decorations were nice with local artists paintings. The paint white paint was chipped & looked cheap. Usually this wouldn't bother me but considering this is the top of what st Anne's has to offer, I'd like to see a good paint job.
We spent our anniversary here last week & the service was amazing, great recommendations from the waitress to try a variety of dishes which were all incredibly tasty & savoury. The wine selection was great & very fair priced. Definitely recommend the foie gras, & filet mignon. Loved our experience & we will definitely return.
Nous avons eu le plaisir de célébrer les 90 ans de ma belle-mère dans cet établissement, à l'occasion d'un repas réunissant 10 adultes & 3 jeunes enfants. Un menu, préalablement commandé & comprenant notamment champagne, vin blanc & café, nous a été proposé. L'ensemble des plats s'est distingué par une excellente qualité gustative & une présentation soignée.
Le service a été irréprochable du début à la fin, avec une équipe professionnelle, attentive & accueillante. Tout a été mis en oeuvre pour faire de cet événement familial un moment particulièrement réussi.
Nous recommandons cet établissement sans la moindre hésitation & le conseillons vivement pour toute occasion spéciale.
Excellent souper & service. Le filet mignon & le thon mi-cuit était parfait & succulent. La roulade de céréli-rave au crabe était parfaite & délicieuse.
It had been years since my last visit to this lovely restaurant. We booked for 8 people for New Year's Eve & it did not disappoint! There was a short delay in getting our table but the hostess was so attentive & took our coats & offered us a free drink while we waited.
Ordered the rack of lamb, beef & chicken from Bisyr menu.
All were delicious. But the chicken had very little brie or prusciuto. Servers were pleasant & helpful. A really nice evening.
Very busy night. Full restaurant. New waitress ( 2 months) named Victoria. Everything was amazing. The staff including our'new' Victoria were pleasant, friendly & very efficient. Smooth in every way. A favourite that keeps getting better.
