Tout a été excellent, service, nourriture; la seule chose est lorsque nous payons avec des cartes cadeaux il devrait être possible de laisser les balance de carte comme pourboires au serveur. Inutile de nous laisser avec une balance de carte de 5$ lorsqu'on pourrait bonifier le pourboire laissé aux serveurs.

Ce n'est pas la première fois que j'utilise ce genre de carte & ailleurs nous avons pu laisser le solde de la carte en pourboires.

C'est juste déplorable car bien souvent cela bonifierait le montant laissé qui souvent ne sera pas utilisé.

Merci

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.
