Everything was perfect but we were a *little* disappointed to be seated by the door, even with a reservation, when there were many available tables in the cozy room at the back.

The food & service were impeccable, though! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Musique trop forte & peut-être que la serveuse avait besoin d'un peu plus de formation. Nourriture correcte & endroit parfait

Assez ordinaire comme visite. On nous a offert l'addition avant de recevoir le plat principal. La cuisine ferme également très tôt.

En entrée, nous avions pris l'assiette de charcuterie pour 2 à 40$. Le fromage sortait tout droit du frigo & était loin d'être à une température optimale. L'assiette était énorme & avant même qu'elle nous soit servie, on nous a offert une boite pour rapporter les surplus!. Pourquoi pas une plus petite portion à un prix moindre?
La joue de boeuf & le canard étaient très bon.
On avait demandé un coin tranquille...on nous a alloué une banquette près d'une table à 8, occupée.
