César de Bruxelles, soupe à l'oignon, suppli & salade provençale : tout était excellent !
Service rapide & très sympathique bien que le restaurant était rempli.
Je recommande !
On Christmas Day we were able to get a table for 6 people. A small hidden gem because the service & food was excellent! Espresso martinis on point, French onion soup was cup size & perfect as an appetizer. I ordered the mushroom ravioli, BEST ravioli I have ever had. Amazing!!! Friends got the burger & fries, they said it was so delicious! Fries were perfectly seasoned & cooked, thin sliced & enjoyed every fry. Our server was awesome & excellent service. Highly recommend, you will not be disappointed.
Server was pleasant but not overtly attentive. Busy night with expected slow service, but she did not check on her tables, or reassure us that food was on the way yet.
Souper de Noël avec mon comité de gestion de 12 personnes. Personnel souriant & gentil. Repas excellent & vaste choix au menu. Bel endroit. Je recommande.
The deco & ambience is great & the food was exceptionally delicious. Tried a mezcapital cocktail which was different but a very good seller & tried the Japanese blonde, very refreshing. The only downside of our experience is our drinks arrived way after our food but everything else was pretty good. It was also going to be nice is we had information about the Chef's special of the day.
This was, unfortunately, one of the worst restaurant experiences I have had in over 20 years in the food industry.
This was our first visit. We arrived as a party of 16 (four families with children) & were immediately treated rudely by the staff. We were told they would not serve us properly because we were a'large group' & were only offered a very limited menu. We explained multiple times that we were willing to split into smaller groups of four & sit separately to accommodate the restaurant. This solution was refused without a clear explanation.
What made this especially frustrating is that other parties of four or five were being seated & served the full menu without issue. If the restaurant had limited food availability or staffing concerns, we would have completely understood & were even willing to wait longer for our meals. However, the issue was clearly the size of our group, not availability.
We spoke with the manager on duty & again offered to wait, but the only food they were willing to serve was pasta & fries for the children. At that point, we considered leaving, but our kids were already seated, tired from traveling, & hungry.
It is also misleading to advertise a full menu at the entrance while restricting it once guests arrive. This is not good business practice & creates unnecessary frustration for customers.
Based on this experience, I would not recommend this restaurant. In most places, owners & staff are appreciative of customers & eager to provide service. Unfortunately, that was not the case here. This was a very disappointing experience.
