Nous sommes allés souper 6 personnes le 16 décembre 2023. Service impeccable par Jean Alexandre. Nourriture excellente & vin à la hauteur. Merci & à la prochaine !

Very disappointing dinner with even more disappointing service. French onion soup was maybe one of the worst I've had while the duck salad was just fine. My child's spaghetti tasted bland.

On est allé souper en amoureux vendredi 16 nov & le lendemain matin (samedi 17 nov) on y est retourné pour déjeuner avec des amis. Les 2 événements se sont très bien déroulé. Magnifique restaurant bien rodé, bien décoré, bon service & bonne bouffe. Merci! On y retournera assurément lorsqu'on sera de nouveau de passage à Québec.

Nous avons passé un excellent souper. La Table d'hôte a été un très bon choix. Le service a également été sur la "coche" avec du personnel très agréable. Merci!

Nous avons trouvé les assiettes un peu petite. Surtout celles pour enfant. Mais nous avons beaucoup apprécié notre souper.

Beautiful restaurant with excellent service. The poutine & the hot dog were exceptional with nice fat pieces of fresh curd. The fish & chips were disappointing with the impression that they had been just rewarmed, rather than freshly prepared for our meal. The French onion soup was ok but nothing exceptional. Overall a good experience.

Un restaurant vraiment à l'écoute de ses clients. Service extraordinaire, très bonne qualité au niveau de la nourriture & que dire de l'accueil chaleureux envers le groupe scolaire! Ce fut un très bon moment passé chez vous pour prendre le déjeuner. Nous vous disons à très bientôt pour prendre le repas en déjeuner, en dîner & en souper. Merci de nous avoir accueillis avec votre plus grand des sourires! Tout était parfait! 👌😋🫶
