Was looking forward to this one... after a beautiful weekend in Quebec City, I was excited to see this as the only full restaurant on Wednesday. Unfortunately, our dinner tonight was a disappointment, & the service was borderline offensive. While the price is fair, the food doesn't live up to the expectations. (It was fine) Our biggest issue was with the service. The waiter was impolite, distant, & almost ignoring us for stretches of 15-20 minutes. It felt like a challenge to get his attention was he was chitchatting with staff (& not about work). Waiters were messing around, texting on phones behind the bar, & just not focused on service. We were asked twice about drinks, & greeted by 3 different staff members before our original waiter returned to take our food order. The service just appeared to have no organization. After our entree, we collected a dessert menu, & eventually gave up on placing an order, & simply asked for the check. For our final night in the city, this was a letdown. Though the food was fine, I would not recommend a night out here. I typically don't leave reviews, but I was quite frustrated after this experience.

Nous avons passé une belle soirée agréable.

Seule chose, le dessert se nommait "tarte au sucre" , alors que c'était clairement un gâteau au fromage.

Nous avons choisi le menu de Québec à table. L'entrée de pétoncles était délicieuse. Par contre, la magret de canard servi en plat principal n'était pas à la hauteur. Nous avons dû demander un couteau à steak, celui fourni ne réussissait pas à couper le canard. Malheureusement, même avec le couteau à steak, la viande était très difficile à couper. Le dessert était parfait par contre, tout comme le service. Merci.

Service trop rapide. On nous sert notre entrée avant notre vin & notre dessert alors que nos verres de vin étaient encore pleins. Réservation à 18h30, nous étions de retour à la maison à Sainte-Foy, à 20h15.

o Was looking forward to appetizer (onion soup) but was never brought to table. Waitress apologized & took it off bill but better customer service would have been to offer an alternative such as a free dessert. It set bad tone for the remainder of dinner. Butcher cut hanger steak perfectly cooked but serving was skimpy for the price at only 3 small pieces, & the maple glaze mixed into the beet sauce such that I could not get distinct flavor of either - food was poorly plated. Hopefully will have better experience at next visit.

Nous étions ravie de la nourriture au début (très bien présenté & bon en général; sauf le poisson était trop salé)
Le dessert était super aussi.
Au retour toutes le deux on a eu une diarrhée aiguë malheureusement ça a gâcher notre expérience; quelques chose était pas propre ou pas fraîche malheureusement.

I was very pleasantly surprised by this restaurant. I only went because it was attached to my hotel & I have low expectations for hotel affiliated restaurants, but they blew me away! I had the duo blood pudding & cabbage pudding, & the flavor complexity was outstanding. The server was also super lovely. I didn't have the dessert, but the couple next to me ended up ordering two rounds of the crème brûlée because they loved it so much! The one tiny note is that the music playing didn't quite match the atmosphere. Don't get me wrong, I love the Yeah Yeah Yeahs & Vampire Weekend, but it's not the music I would have paired with my meal. Overall lovely experience.

Un plus si le petit pain servie au début serait chaud, aisi que la crème brûlée en dessert si elle serait chaude sa serait un bon plus !

Superb, from the cocktails (classics had a new twist) to the desserts. Everything is a bit unexpected in the best way. Although very elevated, portions are not skimpy. Highly recommend.
