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.
Our office luncheon of 18 experienced polished service & great food. The restaurant was beautifully decorated for the holidays completing the experience. Always delighted to recommend this restaurant
We had the scallops & rack of lamb. The seared foie gras was expensive (even for here) but very different & tasty. The escargots were also very good. Not a cheap dinner, but a great place to treat yourself once in a while. No cheap wines on this winelist. The daily specials would be be cheaper.
