In the dining room, Martin Bernier, owner, welcomes you in a setting where maple, stainless steel and stained glass fuse together, all creating a bewitching atmosphere.  Martin will allow you to discover the exceptional wines of our vast cellar.  He will be able to advise you on our wide variety of private import wines at prices as affordable as $28 a bottle.

Nous avons réservé une salle pour une fête surprise. 21 adultes & 8 enfants. L'espace était intime & assez spacieux. Le personnel était disponible & accomodant. Les plats copieux, goûteux & chauds. Je recommande vivement.View more

Went in the summer. Had the salmon. It was supposed to be grilled well done. When my plate came it was a piece of fried salmon It was disappointing. The Ceasar salad was so wrong. This was a first & last visit. When you pay the price & service & food was not good.View more

We were very lucky that there was no line & we got table by the window. Food is excellent, lots of choice. Love the savoury crepes & that they don’t come with all the trimmings (potatoes…) as is perfect for a lighter eater. The omelets were huge & so full of ingredients. Service was so prompt, coffee & water flowing… it didn’t feel like each server had their area, for things like topping up coffee, whomever had the carafe would walk around. & they had time to check in a few times to make sure things were good.
Highly recommend, we often taking visiting friends & family hereView more

Service kind of odd. The waitress insisted that there were two entrées but no coffee with the table d’hôte menu. The table on the terrasse continued to wobble after an attempt by staff to wedge something. I just gave up & continued sloshing wine around in the glasses eith the wobbly table. Close by to 5160 for a show though.View more

Very nice place by the st. Lawrence river. Beautiful park surroundings, massive deck patio. It was a Sunday & it was full of older folk enjoying the huge menu of excellent food. A bit expensive but damn good food.View more

Brunch très très moyen. La salle à manger est plus jolie que la terrasse. La nourriture est vraiment basique & rend les prix pas très justifiés. 14$ + tax + tip pour une brioche dorée sans rien du tout, même pas du sirop d’érable …
Les plats du brunchs ne sont vraiment pas soignés. Je vous laisse juger des photos !
Le goût n’est pas pire mais on est vraiment loin de la qualité qu’on souhaiterait avoir lors d’un brunch. Bel emplacement du restaurant en tous cas !View more

Restaurant with a nice view of the water.
Went for breakfast & it was really good, & service also was great. The only reason for the 4 stars is because it's a regular breakfast but a little more expensive than other restaurants in the area. Will definitely go back to try the italian dishes as that is the specialty.View more
