service was really good, the quality of the food was just not what we expected for $160. The steak was really tough & the fries were soggy however, we liked the pork

We went on a Wednesday evening in September & the place was less than half full. We ordered beside drinks, a starter & a main course. Drinks came quickly starter as well, but unfortunately cold. The waiter did not asked once, if everything is okay neither while we were eating or as he took away the plates.
We then had to wait more than 45 minutes for our main courses (steak & frites & the other was ribs). During this time nobody was asking if we wanted another drink as our glasses were empty for a long time. Finally the food came, but one of the half racks was completely burned (hidden under the BBQ sauce). To be fair after I complained they exchanged the burned rack), but as chef you must recognize before you prepare the plate.
Even as several waiters were involved none of them recognized our empty glasses or was asking how the food tastes.
The taste itself was good, but it is what you see often in restaurant chains. Nobody cares if customers come back or not & that is the way how you are treated.
In addition the atmosphere is like in a waiting hall & it is extremely loud although it was not full.

The food was OK. We ordered the duck drumsticks for an appetizer & it was delicious. I had the seafood linguine & asked for the cheese. I did not know it was going to be smothered & baked with the cheese. It made the whole dish too rich & it over powered everything. My husband had the steak & that was well done, however everything else on his plate was underwhelming. The service was friendly but non-existent. We were sat at the back & forgotten about. Out food took a long time to come out & when it did it was disappointing. Overall my experience wasn't horrible, but I definitely expected more from this place.

Excellent dining experience. The steak with frites were incredibly tender & full of flavor. The wine recommended by the sommelier was a perfect match for the meal. I finished with the a café machiatto which was delicious. Great food, excellent service, & a very enjoyable atmosphere. Highly recommended.

Realmente fue una mala experiencia. El menú refleja de entrada la locura de su nombre. Es un menú que no tiene identidad, uno realmente entra buscando que su especialidad sea el cochino, pero no es asi. Pasemos a la experiencia de ese dia en Québec. El pollo pfc, copiando a PFC, infame...seco y sin gusto. Mi esposa pidió un steak & frite que literalmente le descuadro su mandíbula y mi poutine....mejor la próxima vaya a costco y disfrutará de un poutine superior y a mejor precio. Solo rescatable el salmón que pidió mi hijo. Conclusión, no volvería jamás.

We had dinner here & sat at the bar because it was very busy. The staff were great & very friendly. The bar staff weren't the ones serving us but they greeted us & we're really kind. The food was okay. I ordered the Philly cheese steak & was a bit disappointed. The meat was like deli meat & not what I was expecting. It tasted okay but it was definitely underwhelming. My husband got the poutine & the pork that comes on it was dry & not super flavourful.

Was sat down & waiter didn't come take the order nor provide us with water well after 10 mins we were seated. Ordered the duck & a dinner set with the steak. We asked for medium rare, the steak was overcooked & the duck was rubbery. For tea, I asked for peppermint tea, the waiter came with green tea & lukewarm water. Not sure how he expected the customer to make tea with lukewarm water? He also rushed us to pay the bill when we clearly had half a bottle of wine left, which I did mention. The food was mediocre with terrible service. Not a place I would recommend nor come back ever again.

Visit, Wednesday September 3, 2025, party of six for dinner. Mobility impaired accessible, seasonal patio, no on street parking during summer season. Modern chique interior, lovely sidewalk patio. Soups, Ceasars salad, & steak were excellent. Good menu & beverage selection. Staff were good & items priced moderate.
