*Trigger warning* pics of uncooked food attached. Mention of raw uncooked meat in review. The ambiance & decor was nice. The appetizers: arrancini balls were good but not consistent. Some balls were tastier than others. However they were all consistently crispy. A 7/10 The Calamari was done nicely. Not greasy. A touch heavy with the salt. A solid 7.5/10 - we really came to this place because we were nostalgic for the bread-bar we remembered as kids; nice to see that there is a bread-bar station. Good assortment of breads & spreads. Fun to toast bread on the grill. Mains: Pizza: tomato + cheese= 8/10 Nice presentation. Came to the table hot. Pasta Carbonara: Nice! 8.5 /10 Tasty. Arrived Hot. Pretty presentation with the egg. Spaghetti & shrimp: 8/10 Tasty, good. Satisfying Salad : Kale + lemon appetizer size : For me this portion size was perfect. The salad overall was fresh, zesty & delicious. 8.5 /10 **Meatballs : appetizers. This was supposed to be paired with my kale salad. So sad that it arrived lukewarm & was so dissapointing to find the meatballs raw in the middle. (Can you hear Gordon Ramsay yell "RAW"!!) They were so raw. - I would err on side of caution for this dish- I think this place is good for groups. Its got a good vibe & if popular items on the menu are chosen then its very likely that it will not dissapoint. * the reason for the low stars : obviously the raw unedible meatballs. After politely letting our waitress know that we were unable to eat or enjoy the dish because... it was raw. She said she would let the kitchen know. I was expecting that she would update us ; or offer apologies. She carried on as if nothing were amiss. & When it came time to pay. We were quite surprised to see the raw dish on the bill. SIGH We had to awkwardly ask that it be removed since ...the WHOLE thing was raw/ unedible/ no one ate it. *& no she never offered to replace the dish or offer a solution.* Ugh. the awkwardness..Ugh the raw meaty-ness UGH

Only one choice of IPA, & the keg was empty. Most restaurant i go to nowadays have at least 2 or 3 choices of IPA, including local brews. I mean... Micro des trois lac in Vaudreuil is just on the other side of the highway & you dont even sell their product?
We came to the restaurant at 18h00, & waited until 19h30 to finally get our food. This is a VERY LONG waiting time for a familly with 3 kids.
My garlic snails were half burnt on the outer rim of the plate.
Music for a birthday was so loud that our kid had to plug their ears & my 2 years old almost cried wondering what was going on.
Twice when we went to the grill, there was no more white bread.
The server was very apologetic about all those things, but told us there was sadly nothing she could do. She still offered a very nice service.

Food was mediocre, pizza was dry. Escargot cheese was burnt. We were not told about the bread bar.... until the entrees arrived & asked for bread with the pasta. It would have been nice to have with the escargot & the fondu which was good. paper napkins which is the first thing that I noticed it was second rate along with not changing the utensils after the appetizers. My biggest pet peeve is when the waiter takes the plates when everyone is not finished. It makes the people who are not finished feel rushed & uncomfortable.When I arrived I asked for a cozy table, the hostess said it was very busy, I had to point out it was an early reservation, & the restaurant is about 20% full, but she did give us a nice table & was very professional about it & a nice goodnight when leaving. For the price the service details should have been better. The atmosphere has a high potential of being a very classy place if it had those details in effect. Staff was very nice but inexperienced. I did like everyone I met they were very polite. I hope this helps you, you have great potential to be one of the best restaurants in the area.
