The rack of lamb was absolutely amazing. I highly recommend it to anyone going here. The staff was friendly & accommodating. The waiter was kind enough to heed our odd request to split the bill across 4 credit cards. I never felt like we were waiting for the staff. They just magically appeared the moment we were just thinking about needing them. Not intrusive, excellent timing.View more

Great overall experience. The music was a bit on the loud side. Service was great! The octopus was fantastic! The rack of lamb was good, maybe a pinch more salt.View more

We visited in the summer. Lovely restaurant in the Old Port, a place I totally love. We had basque chicken, lamb pappardelle, but the most unforgettable dish was a bone marrow appetizer. My heavens. I love, love bone marrow, grew up eating a lot of it. This was the best prepared I’ve had yet. The drinks were wonderful. The jazz was great!View more

A very elegant restaurant, great food & atmosphere. Didn't get drinks but their garlic snails & poutine are must trys for appetizers. Can't go wrong choosing anything with lamb on their menu. I had the Quebec Lamb Pappardelle & was not disappointedView more

I had a gift certificate for this place so I decided to go try it our with my boyfriend.
We had a fried calamari, braised lamb millefeuille, chicken piccata, an apple pie with ice cream, a tiramisu & two glasses of white wine. The food was good. The wine we had was great! I loved the apple pie & the lamb. The waiter was really nice.
When we got in, the restaurant was nice (a few people at the bar & a few groups eating). But the place gradually got louder & louder (& the place wasn't even full). We were sitting on the first floor. It felt like people were yelling. There wasn't even any music playing on the first floor. We could sort of hear the music from the second floor though.
I liked the food & the service but the ambience is awful.
