This place has good reviews so I expected a lot from it & was very disappointed.
We were a party of 3 for lunch. 2 of us had the fish & chips which was highly recommended. Fish & chips are greasy, I know this. But this was so greasy that when you cut into it grease bubbled up on the surface of the batter. The fries were cold. We shared a $13 carrot cake for dessert & it was mushy, like it had been in the fridge for days. I'm sorry to give such a well loved place a bad review but it was honestly terrible. Would not recommend.

Not the least expensive restaurant nor the closest, but we'll worth the trip & treat. Onion soup & fish & chips are awesome. The roast beef is out of this world. Wide selection of local & imported beers on tap also

Délicieux resto dans un bâtiment rustique qui sent la vieille maison de campagne. Tous les plats commandés étaient bons! L'architecture traditionnelle de la maison a été conservée ce qui donne plusieurs raccoins à l'endroit pour avoir de l'intimité à plusieurs tables. Très bon service.

Amazing experience , we shared 2 appetizers, spinach salad & the escargot gratin, a bottle of Rioja, & a bigger size prime rib eye. Much recommended if you are in the area.

Incredible food, building old with lots of history. Outdoor seating in the gardens beyond expectations.

It's always nice to go back to this place whenever I'm in the area, food & service is excellent. That old rustic look has a feeling of warmth & comfort. Only negative is the trip downstairs to the washrooms.. whoa those carpets need replacing.

Wow vraiment extraordinaire. Notre serveuse Elise très professionnel, attentive, souriant ☺?
Coup coeur pour le terre & mer🩷
Les prix vraiment corrects pour la qualité des mets. La carte des vins très abordable. Nous y retournerons avec famille & amis.

Went there with 3 people. The cook messed up every order. One person ordered a club sandwich on whole wheat & got white bread. The other 3 of us ordered eggs over easy & all of the eggs had the yolks cooked. We received a basked of toast, & when you butter it right away, the butter melts onto the toast. If you leave it until the toast gets cold then the butter sits on top of the bread like jam & is gross. For the waitress Marilou I give 2 big thumbs up. For the cook I rate as 2 BIG THUMBS DOWN. Accordingly I would be very hesitant to go back. It's too bad because it was a really nice place...

⭐?Extremely Disappointing Experience

Honestly, one of the worst restaurant experiences we've had in a long time, especially considering we were there to celebrate our anniversary.

Our reservation was for 8:00 p.m. in one of the private rooms upstairs, which we were told had a two-hour limit. Despite that, we weren't seated until approximately 8:30 p.m. There was no apparent reason for the delay, considering the reservation before ours should have ended around 7:30. We decided to let it go & hoped the rest of the evening would make up for it.

Unfortunately, things only got worse.

I ordered a Bloody Caesar, & it arrived warm. I had to ask for extra ice, & it honestly tasted like there was barely any alcohol in it. Before our main courses arrived, I ordered a second Caesar & specifically asked that it be made cold. It was colder, but once again, it tasted like there was little to no alcohol in it.

We ordered chicken wings & nachos as appetizers, to share with friends which were probably the highlight of the meal.

I also ordered a cream of mushroom soup, but unfortunately, the amount of pepper was so overwhelming that all you could taste was spice. It was completely inedible, so I sent it back.

Then came the main courses.

I ordered a rib steak, blue rare, with salt & pepper, & fries. My husband ordered an 8 oz filet mignon, medium, with mashed potatoes.

When our meals arrived, the steaks came with the wrong sides. I received mashed potatoes instead of fries, & my husband received fries instead of mashed potatoes. Rather than make an issue out of it, we simply switched the steaks between our plates.

However, we then realized the steaks themselves were cooked incorrectly. My rib steak, which should have been blue rare, was cooked medium. My husband's filet which he ordered medium, was cooked rare. Neither of us could eat our steaks.

Our friends weren't having much better luck.

One ordered a chicken brochette that was so dry that she ended up dipping it into the sour cream from our nachos just to make it edible.

Another friend ordered a salad with fruit, nuts & chicken. The salad itself looked fine, but she said the chicken was rubbery.

We were then told that we wouldn't be charged for the two steaks. Well, of course we weren't-we couldn't eat them because they weren't prepared as ordered.

What really bothered me was that they still charged us for the drinks. Considering the overall experience-the delayed seating, the warm first Caesar, the second Caesar that still tasted like it contained virtually no alcohol, the inedible soup, & the incorrectly prepared steaks-waiving the drinks would have been a genuine gesture of goodwill. Not charging us for two meals we couldn't eat is simply the bare minimum.

Because it was our anniversary, they eventually brought us a piece of cake. Unfortunately, it was stale. & honestly, I didn't really want it anyway, since I hadnt eaten dinner & originally planned on ordering my own dessert after dinner.

At this point, it wasn't about one mistake. It was the combination of everything that made the evening so disappointing.

We came to celebrate our anniversary & spend a nice evening with friends. Instead, we dealt with a delayed seating, poorly prepared drinks, an inedible soup, incorrectly cooked steaks, dry & rubbery food, & stale cake.

Mistakes happen in restaurants. That's understandable. What matters is how those mistakes are handled & whether the restaurant makes an effort to turn the experience around. Unfortunately, we didn't feel that happened here.

Very disappointing experience. We came for a special occasion & left wishing we had chosen somewhere else. Unfortunately, we will not be returning.
