Je n'ai pas l'habitude de laisser de mauvais avis (c'est d'ailleurs mon premier) mais je trouve notre expérience aujourd'hui suffisamment décevante pour la partager (principalement le service & le manque d'hygiène d'une employée en particulier).

Nous sommes venus bruncher pour la fête du travail avec mon chum & avons été placés au fond du restaurant, juste à côté de la cuisine. L'emplacement était très bruyant : nous entendions constamment les sonnettes de la cuisine & avons même entendu une assiette se casser.

Le service a aussi été particulièrement décevant. La serveuse (petite blonde dans la quarantaine) s'occupait du groupe à côté de nous, & semblait être la manager par sa façon d'intéragir avec l'équipe. Malgré cela, nous avons eu l'impression d'être complètement délaissés. Nous avons attendu très longtemps avant de pouvoir commander, au point qu'une autre serveuse est finalement venue nous voir parce qu'elle nous voyait attendre depuis un bout. Nous comprenons qu'un groupe occupe beaucoup l'attention, mais notre table était juste à côté & nous avons régulièrement manqué d'eau. Même après avoir empilé nos assiettes pour montrer que nous avions terminé, elle n'est pas venue les débarrasser.

Enfin, un point d'hygiène nous a particulièrement dérangés. Nous avons vu la serveuse (manager?) tousser plusieurs fois directement dans ses mains & aller voir des clients sans se les laver. Aussi, étant assis juste à côté de la cuisine, nous l'avons également entendue tousser puis immédiatement passer directement avec des plats destinés aux clients.

Une expérience malheureusement très décevante, autant au niveau du service que & de l'hygiène.

Booked a table for two for 11 AM & arrived a few minutes early. We were initially seated right by the front entrance & window, but it was uncomfortably warm in that spot.
When I asked one of the male servers if we could move toward the back, he gave us an immediate'no' without even bothering to check. A few minutes later, we watched several new parties get walked straight to the back section, so I decided to ask the hostess instead. She was great-once she understood that moving one table over wouldn't help with the heat, she checked the system & happily found us a table in the back.
Shoutout to the hostess & the rest of the floor staff, who provided wonderful service for the remainder of our meal. The first server was dismissive & unhelpful, but the rest of the team completely turned the experience around & earned their tip.

Nice place. Decent food options. Had the French toast. It was a little different than i expected but it was good. Wait staff were friendly & the atmosphere was nice.

Lovely server. The food was average & high priced. I wanted the breakfast croissant & you had to get a protein on it. I thought that was odd snd undesirable.

I honestly don't understand the negative reviews. We came here on a Wednesday for a birthday brunch, & everything was exceptional. The drinks were fantastic, the food was delicious, & it was well worth the price. The service was impressively fast, & the staff attended to our every need. If anything, the food came out almost too quickly… we barely had time to catch up & talk! Every dish was 5-star quality, & the dessert was out of this world.

Great spot for brunch. The food was good, but it feels like they try too hard with the flavors. Potatoes wedges were way too big, & slightly undercooked. It was a good experience, but slightly over priced.

Les plats etaient beaux & bons mais pas le meilleur rapport qualité prix. Le service laissait à désirer. Nos plats non pas été servi en même temps (ordinaire pour une table de 3 personnes) & nous avons du faire un rappel pour les boissons commandées avant le repas pour 2 des 3 convives. Les smoothies sont arrivés à la fin du brunch. J'ai trouvé le service mal organisé (3 serveurs pour une seule table) & 2 sur 3 avaient l'air vraiment perdu. C'est sans compter les discussions « de formation «  qui ont eu lieu juste à côté de notre table. Ça gâche un peu l'atmosphère.
