La nourriture était très bonne, mais pas "incroyable"! Le personnel était génial! Vous devez goûter aux desserts (gâteau au chocolat & biscuit au pouding de riz) ça c'était excellent!

Of course I had to visit the #1 ranked restaurant in Canada. These guys know a thing or two about food & hospitality, I'll tell you that. We were greeted warmly & the staff knew what they were talking about. The way they were articulating their opinions on various wines, it was like poetry. The ambience was nice, although it could get a little loud sometimes. Staff were extremely attentive. The food was very interesting. The dishes incorporated a lot of combinations I never would've thought would pair well together, but there was harmony on my taste buds. Some dishes were exceptional, like the duck breast & tartare, while the eggplant with eel & sea urchin dish was a little lacklustre. I respect the creativity & inventiveness with all the offerings on the menu, but not at the cost of flavour. Small detail, we did have to remind staff about appetizers we had ordered that didn't arrive as our mains were being brought out. Overall, definitely worth the visit. A meal worth splurging for!

Ask for Rose. Took our already 5-star experience to the next level with her energy & service. Food was incredible. Nothing we ordered tasted like something we've ever had before, yet none of them disappointed. Menu constantly changes so it's always nice to visit every once in a while which we plan to do. Rates Canada's best restaurant & totally agree

A very enjoyable kick back evening. Not pretentious, tasty cooking. Vibe inside is pumping & happy. Our server was really good at engaging with the tables & hearing what we wanted for a drink. The wait between some dishes was a little long, but nothing too overly long. I didn't really like the longish wait for a table beyond our reservation time (second seating) though, but in part this is due to there being not much outside the front door. Overall, I think this would be like your favourite neighbourhood wine bar: great for a catch up with friends, not so great for a first date but fine otherwise. Would return.

Lived up to its rating. A minor service slip to start but a full recovery for a wonderful meal. Unique dishes & wines.

Excellent experience. Dining room on the noisier side of things, but passionate & knowledgeable service + great food more than makes up for it. Sea Urchin from Rimouski was delightful.

I find it's overpriced & we left hungry as the portions were very small. The waitress was amazing but the ambiance was lacking with high foot traffic constantly rushing by, & lights by the bar that kept flickering.
