Fiasco total !
On commence par un cocktail à 14,50$ noyé sous une avalanche de glaçons… j'aurais préféré goûter davantage le gin & le jus de bleuets non dilués.
Ensuite, le menu (prometteur) annonçait un « Os à la moelle, ris de veau frits, sauce homardine, légumes marinés » : j'au eu droit à un os surdimensionné qui ne contenait qu'une demi-bouchée de moelle, 2 gouttes de sauce qui ne goûtait pas le homard & je cherche encore les légumes grillés…
Le plat quant à lui devait être un « Boudin noir de Charlevoix sauce à la bière, pommes de terre aligot truffées, rapinis, oignons caramélisés », & il ne goûtait rien de tout ça ! On peut mettre à jour le menu & indiquer « pomme de terre » au singulier car j'avais un quart de patate dans mon assiette !
Dommage de terminer un souper la faim au ventre sans avoir pris aucun plaisir, & ce pour la modique somme de 110$.
En bref, un rapport qualité/quantité/ prix aberrant.
Je comprends que cet établissement soit toujours en activité après 3 décennies à prendre ses clients pour des vaches à lait !

Les serveurs sont très amicales!
L'ambiance est chaleureuse & la nourriture est… WOW! j'ai prit le plat tartare au saumon avec le cocktail floralie & mon copain a prit le plat hamburger avec la tarte aux bleuets comme dessert. 10/10 pour chacun de ces aliments. tout ça en bas de 200$ taxe & tip inclus. Si nous étions de cette région, nous serions revenus certainement. Merci

Wanted to try a fancier restaurant in Saguenay. Service- My friend & I waited 45 minutes for our main dishes after our appetizers.. NOT ok. I was extremely disappointed with that. Our waitress was professional, nice. Food- I got the "Fondue aux Fromages" as an appetizer. Not what I expected & all, I don't like their take on fondue. & it was very mid. Definitely overpriced. I got the "Contre-Filet de boeuf highland" for my main dish. It was pretty good! Cooked to the temperature I ordered. The sauce on the plate went well with everything else. Parsnip purée was good, however, it was cold rather than room temperature/warm. Carrot was cooked well, it wasn't hard to cut. I didn't care for the other vegetables personally. Cocktail- I forget what the full name was but "D'avril" is in the name. The cocktail was well made, strong, good & easy to drink! Dessert- classic crème brûlée. Yummy. Due to the wait for my meal alone, I wouldn't return here. I also think they are a bit overpriced.
