You have images of different types of entrées on the Internet, on your own website & when we get to your establishment your menu is completely different. We were looking forward to specific meals & dishes, & after we sit down. We find out that none of those particular entrées were even available. In addition, I believe that prices are too far inflated, & the place is overrated. Granted, you are in the middle of Quebec city. I get it! It's a tourist magnet! But, if you're going to sell a product. Be honest about what you advertise on your own website & the Internet.
