I would give this restauranf & my family's experience 5 stars!!! I am not easy to please so know this is a very thought out & honest review. Probably the first time I'm giving a 5 star review.

We came to celebrate my son's 5th birthday & it was our first time here. On the website I made reservations & requested a window seat. As soon as we arrived we were seated right away at a requested window seat. Let me tell you the view speaks for itself but the food was extraordinary! We made reservations around sunset so it made the experience even more worthwhile. There was a kid's menu available which I thought was an added touch for a very high end restaurant & it was only 15 dollars- quite affordable!

The restaurant was very accomodating in merting our food needs. My son & I are vegetarian & the restaurant had no problems adjusting the meal to his liking & adding vegetables on the side at no additonal cost!!

Our server was very friendly & the timing of our orders/ meals came out promptly! The drinks did not disappoint. I ordered the grapeftuit cocktail ; not one but 2 & it was super refreshing, light & thirst quenching. My husband very much enjoyed his beers. My son gulped down his apple juice.

For starters, I had the sheep cheese dip & my husband had the tomato soup. Both were delicious but if I could go back, id definetly reccomend the soup- it was so good , I could eat it all day! My son devoured his cup of soup. For mains, I had the zuchini tofu while my husband had the halibut. My son had a butter cheese pasta & to say the least, all of our plates were emptied clean. The vegetarian dish did not disappoint- i didnt miss the carbs & it was quite filling. For dessert, we thoroughly enjoyed the crreme brulee which was just the perfect treat to end the meal.

My son, had a wonderful surprise. Seeing as it was his birthday, our server brought out a special sparkly candle with his dessert & that was the highlight for him. He gave this restaurant "10" thumbs up! Soon after realizing he only has 2 thumbs.

Overall, a very wonderful experience!! I would definitely go back again & highly reccomend!!

The staff, service & view was absolutely amazing. The place was extremely clean but the reason for the 3 star is the food was ok. We have paid less for a better steak as my well done steak was half pink in the middle & my boyfriends steak was more rare in the middle than medium. But aside from that it was a really neat experience & we are happy we did it!

Wonderful experience! We were able to sit at the window so made it even better. Our server was lovely & never rushed us throughout the entire meal. We had a bottle of Prosecco & our glasses were never empty (until it ran out haha). We had a tomato salad appetizer that was delicious delicious & also shared the cheese platter. I had the chicken dish with creamy polenta & my husband had the halibut. Both were expertly prepared & beautiful. We shared a lemon tartlet for dessert that had lemon & peanut butter layers (it doesn't sound like it would work but it did!) that was equally enjoyable. We were in town during the music festival so our views of the activity below were spectacular & we even ventured through the festival a bit after our meal. The prices were very affordable (cheaper than some places in old Quebec) & we will definitely return!

Great staff, views & the kids' menu is an amazing value. Food is very rich with nice flavours. The vegetarian was a little lacking with two slices of zucchini & I couldn't find the tofu it mentioned in the description. Good cocktails.
