Took my daughter & her friend for dinner last night. It was supposed to be a special night. Ordered soup & drinks - not bad. When waiting for the mains, however, we waited almost 2 HOURS. This is unacceptable. If we had gotten a previous heads up stating that the wait would be so long, it would have been better. However, with being told it would be coming after 10 minutes repeatedly, the process became infuriating, & for compensation after the 2 hours of being there, the manager gave us the smallest piece of cheesecake I have ever seen & the thinnest slice of chocolate cake, only knocking off our drinks from the tab. Bad management & bad'client recovery' attempt.

The waiters were very nice but we had to wait for more than an hour to get our food. Also on the menu it said the salmon had carrots & the burger had lettuce & onions but when we ordered the food none of that was there.
We sat outside on the patio overlooking the square. Great atmosphere. They specialize in agreed steaks & ask if it's came out perfect. Food came out fast & the service was amazing. Again, like most restaurant here, we were never bothered to pay the check. We could talk & relax as long as we wanted to unlike in the States.
Absolutely phenomenal food & service. Our waiter was very tentative to us when we were dining. He asked for example oh did he give you the lemon water for when you're done with the lobster? & to top things off the food, the lobster & sirloin steak was absolutely amazing. The sirloin literally cut like butter & the lobster was delicious with the sweet potato fries
Alors certes la cuisine est bonne... Mais le prix largement est surcôté ! & surtout le service est interminable alors que nous sommes en semaine & que le restaurant n'est pas plein... 30 min pour le vin, 45 min poor le plat, au bout de 20 min à attendre un serveur pour commander le dessert, nous avons préféré partir.

The menu is creative (I had the fried cauliflower with smokey sour cream on beet hummus). We ate inside in the delightful dining room which had innovative lighting fixtures, golden accents & celebrity pictures. Our waiter, Louis, was friendly & efficient.
