Tried the grilled lobster & was impressed. Meat was tender, fresh, & easy to remove from the shell. A light grilled note added extra flavor without covering the natural sweetness. Very enjoyable seafood option.
Met a friend here after work & we both had a great time. No delays, no mistakes, & the terrace had a lively feel. It is a dependable place when you want an easy evening out.

Toujours un plaisir de revenir ici. Le personnel reste souriant & le service bien coordonné même quand ça se remplit. Merci à Alexandra pour son professionnalisme & sa gentillesse durant notre repas.
The poutine was exactly what I hoped for. Fries stayed crisp, gravy had strong flavor, & the cheese curds softened nicely without disappearing. Rich meal done properly & very satisfying from first bite to last.
Repas agréable avec une belle vue sur l'animation autour. Le service restait rapide malgré plusieurs arrivées en même temps. Les plats étaient bien exécutés & l'équipe donnait une impression de maîtrise constante.
I ordered the butterflied shrimps & really enjoyed them. They were cooked nicely with a tender bite & good flavor throughout. Everything tasted fresh, & the light seasoning let the shrimp stand out in the best way.

C'était incroyable les gens étais vraiment gentil & serviable! J'ai adoré manger la bas, surtout que j'étais pressé alors le service était excellent 💕🫶✨?
Très bon moment en terrasse aujourd'hui. Le service suivait bien le rythme & les plats étaient savoureux. Merci à Ivo pour son accueil chaleureux & sa disponibilité pendant tout le repas. Une visite réussie.
Tried the double cheeseburger & left satisfied. Patties were juicy, cheese melted properly, & the bun held everything together well. Fresh toppings added crunch & balance. Classic comfort meal done right & worth trying.
Had lunch here with a friend & both meals arrived quickly. Staff stayed organized even with many tables occupied. Food was fresh & the whole visit felt simple in the best possible way.

J'aime beaucoup l'ambiance ici. On entend la rue vivre autour de nous sans que cela dérange le repas. Service efficace, plats réussis & une atmosphère détendue qui rend la visite encore plus agréable.
The steak sandwich with cheese was a solid choice. Bread had a nice texture, steak was flavorful, & the melted cheese tied everything together well. Filling meal with good balance & something I would gladly order again.
Came by during a busy afternoon & still felt well looked after. The pace stayed smooth & our order came fast. Thanks to Victor for being attentive & making sure we had everything we needed.
Belle expérience du début à la fin. On nous a trouvés une table rapidement malgré plusieurs clients déjà présents. Les plats sont arrivés chauds & l'équipe gardait le sourire. Une terrasse agréable où l'on se sent bien accueili.
