Mon mari & moi sommes allés souper à ce restaurant hier. Nous y avons été très mal accueillis. L'hôtesse était froide, déplaisante. Nous souhaitions être assis à une des tables pour 2 personnes qui étaient disponibles, mais elle insistait pour que l'on prenne plutôt place au comptoir de style bistro qui longeait la terrasse. Nous lui avons demandé d'être assis à une table pour deux personnes & elle nous a dit qu'il n'y en avait pas, que les places assises étaient réservées aux groupes de 3 ou 4 personnes. Elle nous prenait pour des tatas? On est là avec elle, face à une terrasse sur laquelle il y a au moins 3 tables pour 2 personnes qui sont disponibles (toutes dispersées, que l'on ne peut pas coller pour en faire des tables de 3 ou 4 personnes) & elle nous dit qu'elle n'en a plus tout en nous faisant à nouveau signe pour qu'on la suive alors qu'elle nous dirigeait vers le bar longeant la terrasse. Mon mari a dû lui pointer du doigt les tables disponibles pour qu'elle accepte enfin de nous y installer, à contre-coeur. Très mauvais départ.

Sinon, pour le repas, nous avions pris une entrée de charcuteries & fromage à partager pour 2, mais on aurait facilement pu partager à 4. Ceci dit, le repas était délicieux (repas principaux (tartare de boeuf classique & cheeseburger Classico).
La serveuse était très polie, souriante & efficace. Devant l'hôtel derrière nous, un saxophoniste de grand talent jouait des airs qui se mariaient très bien à l'ambiance chaleureuse de la place. Un coup la poussière retombée (suite à l'accueil), nous avons passé une excellente soirée à ce restaurant.

Wonderful birthday dinner, party of 4, seated at the best table in the window looking up at the Chateau! All meals completely devoured & thoroughly enjoyed including escargot, duck, tuna tartare, steak & fish. Friendly & polite staff, however the drinks & extra bread took way too long. If not for that, rating would be 5 stars.

This is a cozy place but the orders got confused & noticed it when I got the bill. I said I wanted to have an entre & they charged me as the main dish which was $15 more. It was my first time so I didn't know I was getting the main dish. I ordered the tuna tartare not the tuna asian-style so make sure you order is clear.

Aucun steak, vous avez bien lu! J'étais extrêmement déçu de ce restaurant! Aucun poisson non plus sauf le tartare de thon. La seule viande disponible était une joue de boeuf braisée & un tartare de boeuf avec du contre-filet. J'ai dû commander les deux viandes qu'ils ont: tartare de thon & de boeuf & je n'ai pas pu commander une bouteille de vin qui était au arômes plus légères. Le vin le plus doux que j'ai pu acheter dans le rouge était un vin qui était avec des notes destinées à être accordées avec une grillade. J'avais encore très faim après mon assiette & j'ai pensé commandé une pizza mais les quatre sortes était tous des saveurs dites artisanales mais bizarres... une pizza avec des oeufs à la coque, & autres. Finalement, ma conjointe & moi avons mis le bouchon sur notre bouteille de vin & sommes venus manger à la maison après notre deux cent dollars de facture, sans compter les frais de stationnement.

Best meal during our trip!! The food was absolutely delicious! My husband & I had the fixed menu..
I had the salmon tartare, & grilled salmon; Husband had the French onion soup & steak.
& the CREME BRULE was excellent!
Best of all was the exceptional service. We were lucky to have Steve serve us that evening. He was delightful & gave great recommendations on our wine & food choices. & the atmosphere was a nice surprise. They had live music which made the whole experience even better.
I highly recommend making reservations! People were disappointed when they were not able to dine because the restaurant was full.

The wait for the food was a little long but it was worth the wait. The vegetable pizza was great as well as the tuna tartare.
