Everything was great except it was so loud. I'm a 26 year old woman & my ears were ringing. The jazz band compounded with the table behind us. My ears were in pain. We were downstairs too, further from the band. I had the lamb chop & profiterole with a latte. Absolutely wonderful. You'll get a great dinner but not a quiet one !View more

It's worth trying their duck confit & mussels & fries, the sauce on both dishes was so good! We also ordered onion soup & beef tartare for starters, the soup was a bit salty & the toast served with the beef was a bit hard. They tasted good but weren't as good as the main courses. Their bread basket was so delicious btwView more

Avec un foyer qui nous réchauffait autant le corps que le coeur, notre hôte nous a offert un service impeccable. Recommandé, nous avons choisi le contre-filet garni avec une sauce délectable & des légumes cuits à la perfection ; Nous n'avons pas été déçu. Le prix étant quand même raisonnable, nous avons choisi un vin à 65$ qui est parmi les moins chère de la carte. J'y retournerais sans hésiter pour goûter un des mets de la spécialité, l'agneau, & pour vivre l'ambiance avec les musiciens qui n'étaient toujours pas présent si tôt un lundi.View more

Excellent service! Went for a dinner with my family. I would say the food was pretty average considering the prices. Also wish they have better cocktails. My mom loved the duck confit though.View more

BEST rack of lamb I've ever had..!!!! The poutine used to be incredible, but they changed the gravy to a different style sauce so it's not the best anymore. The chocolate pyramid dessert was AMAZING!! A must get!!View more

Amazing lamb dinner in inviting decor. Best lamb chops I've had in a long time, marinade was delicious with rosemary, olive oil & slight tang of lemon. Vegetable accompaniment was perfect. Just the right portion size to have dessert & not feel too full. We went early with our toddler & they had a high chair available.View more

Un resto à découvrir pour l'ambiance & le bon service. Par contre la nouriture ne nous a pas impressionnée. La soupe à l'oignon sans gout particulier & le confit de canard beaucoup trop sec. Le groupe jazz était vraiment bien.View more

Honest review. For the price this restaurant is excellent. The service is great, the atmosphere excellent. If you get there on the earlier side it is kid friendly. I had the rack of lamb & I was hesitant when my waiter mentioned it was a lamb & red wine reduction & mint. Mint is used & overused on lamb & I've seen it overpower many a delicious meal. However, it was subtle to perfection. Just the hint of mint which added just a little clear bite to the deliciousness of the red wine reduction & the crispness of the charred herb. A delightful experience all around.View more
