Quite like many places in the area, it's overpriced & underproportioned. We mainly went for the view, we were expecting the meal to be mediocre. Still, I was disappointed that my 28$ duck meal was 75% salad. My partner's brunch meal was also severely overpriced for how small the portions were. Who serves that kind of brunch for 25$? The baguette option he chose wasn't even a baguette. It was a small ciabatta. You can find better portions & better food quality for less, that's for sure. I will definitely not be coming back :) Update after their response: 28$ for 75% salad is still excessive, even if my pricing was incorrect. Seriously, look at my plate. Would you pay 28$ for that? My duck thigh is about the same size as the ciabatta lol. The brunch was still mediocre.

Food is not amazing. Coffee made freshly was really good (flat white) but the coffee they had from the pot was awful. The views are nice. Duck confit salad was tasty but Cafe du Monde breakfast wasnt

Nice place with a nice view, food was also good as the service, however I ordered a glass of wine & she just sent me the most expensive one (my bad I guess). I would definitely go back

This is a tourist trap. The food is very average & expensive for what it is. Probably just a place for the view but not for the food. The server was not friendly. There are far better places in the city than this one.

The food here was excellent & worth the price & they have a really good bar menu. The service was not the best & it was pretty obvious that some of the staff were racist & pretentious. We still had a great time but I wouldn't go back. The view of the river & the seafood menu is absolutely a reason to visit!

The hostess will try to seat you in a bad seat when a better water view seats is available. The service from the waiter was good.
