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.

The best charcuterie board we've ever had! Would definitely go back for another. Great ambiance as well, I only wish they didn't play only American music. It Ruined what could have been an authentic French Canadian vibe.
