Probably the best steak house in quebec city. Delicious appetizers, we tried the beef & salmon tartare, caesar salad, scallops, shrimp cocktail, & escargot, all were excellent. Best roast beef I've ever had, seasoned & cooked to perfection. Our server Julie was excellent!

We arrived at this charming restaurant right next to the VIA train station at 1:45 PM, just 15 minutes before the kitchen closed at 2 PM. Despite the late hour, the staff were incredibly kind & accommodating, warmly welcoming us & reminding us of the limited time to order.

We opted for the steak & salad, & every dish exceeded expectations. The cauliflower soup was creamy & bursting with flavor, while the steak was cooked to perfection as requested, accompanied by a richly flavored sauce. The fries & potatoes were delightful, & the salad was elevated by its excellent dressing. Even the pork was impeccably cooked.

What truly stood out was the staff's exceptional hospitality, they were so friendly & understanding of our train schedule, making us feel right at home.

I particularly want to express my gratitude to the female staff member who assisted us; her kindness & efficiency were invaluable, & I regret not asking for her name.

This is a must-visit spot for anyone passing through the area. This is a must-visit spot for anyone passing through the area.

Woaw & re-woaw! L'un des meilleurs steak que j'ai mangé. La salade césar était excellente & même le dessert. Notre serveuse amanda était à la fois chaleureuse & professionnelle. Elle connaissait visiblement bien les produits offerts. Longue vie au charbon & au plaisir d'en retrouver une succursale à Montréal un jour :)

Merci beaucoup Philippe! We had a great time here! Everything is superb! All staff are friendly & nice. Philippe served our table & he is the best! I have not experienced such a service with manner & class in years. I ordered a prime steak with vegetables & salad. Steak is 10 out of 10. Salad is great. To my surprise, the asparagus which I normally hate, taste great here! I will definitely come back for more!

Sincèrement ORDINAIRE! Commançons par le meilleur, le service est top! L'ambiance a rien de sexy/ au goût du jour. ( J'y suis allé il y a 10 ans & rien n'a changé.) La viande ... bonne Mais quand on me sert du brocoli gelé & un salade César avec des câpres, du bacon & une sauce qui goûte plus la ranch... ouin désolé du commentaire mais c'est la vérité!

Les années dernières chaque repas était servie avec du pain chaud, la salade de chou, cornichons. Cette fois rien du tout. Patate au four, impression qu'elle était préparée hier, pas mangeable.

Très bon serveur mais il manquait cruellement de présence. Les légumes dans les assiettes n'étaient vraiment pas très appétissants. Le délai pour le dessert était très long ( minimum 25-30 minutes) . En general nous sommes déçu à un point tel que nous allons essayer un autre steak house . Nous avons demandé si il y avait de la salade de chou & du pain & on nous a répondu que maintenant il fallait le demander (ouff ) il aurait pu l'offrir au lieu de le demander Je trouve ça plate car ça fait des années qu'on va à votre resto
