Restaurant élégant avec une ambiance raffinée. Le service est impeccable, attentionné sans être intrusif. Les plats sont savoureux, magnifiquement présentés & préparés avec des produits de grande qualité. Une adresse idéale pour une soirée spéciale ou un dîner en tête-à-tête. Je recommande sans hésite

We really enjoyed the burger & the duck poutine but the gravy on a side. Alsothe escargot were decent with the cheese. I do recommend this place because the food was served quickly. It was fresh & they sit you as soon as they can. Staff was friendly & I give them a five star review

The food is really delicious. Strongly recommend cocktail shrimps & duck. I came alone with my backpack. I tried to put my backpack on a second chair but the waitress took it away saying that they don't have enough places. Ok totally understood. However I saw other customers could take spare chair & put their stuff on. The difference that how she treats & the others make me feel uncomfortable.
