Client qui fréquente beaucoup le Groupe Resto Plaisirs. Très déçu de notre dernière visite 1- saumon laqué avec quelques brindilles de carottes on passera pour les légumes $30.00 2- Gâteau aux carottes qui était délicieux auparavant, mais non un Cup Cake à $9.00 qui était dur avec une tonne de glaçage. 3- Demande de remplacer les frites avec le steak surchargé de $3.00 on a pas demandé un surplus mais un échange ( on s'en passe à ce prix )Conclusion de cette façon la clientèle ne sera plus au RV.A ces prix il faut s'assurer de garder l'image de l'entreprise qui était reconnu pour sa qualité.En espérant que nous ne serons pas déçu à notre brunch au Ciel le 31 décembre.
Bonne journée

Le pire steak depuis des années. Cuisson parfaite, goûteux, mais un contrefilet filandreux & plein de tiraille. A la maison, je l'aurais rapporté au boucher & me serais fait cuire un oeuf. Dommage.

Le 10 $ de surplus pour le gros steak est écrit trop petit. La sauve moutarde était trop sucrée. La mayo ne goûtait pas la Hellman's. je ne reconnais plus le COCHON DINGUE de 1984.

5$ était ajouté au 34$ du steak frites.j'aurais apprécié que ce soit plus évident sur le menu ou que la serveuse le mentionne.
La pâte de la tarte au sucre était très dure.
Le prix du verre de vin trop élevé.
Mon amie a apprécié son saumon & les légumes grillés.
Pour ma part, frites un peu "fatiguées".

Par contre, cet avis ne m'empêchera pas de retourner dans votre restaurant.

So many good things to say!! Food was superb, had the set menu the chicken drumlets were AMAZING!! The local charquterie board was great too. The timing of the service was perfect allowing each course to be finished before bringing the next with the wait staff being attentive but not constantly interrupting conversation... she was great too. The steak was perfectly cooked for my main course the house sauce very similar to a Bernaise & delicious even the side salad was dressed perfectly so fresh & lite, my wife had the pasta & yet again sauce was light creamy & portion size was perfect. Last I was introduced to Quebecs sugar pie!!!! Oh my God that's good again perfectly portioned & delicious 😋
After driving 7 hours to Quebec & then checking in to our hotel I could not have had a better meal, it was delicious.
If I had to offer any advice for improving it would be tough but if pushed maybe slightly more comfortable seating hard chairs are hard on old bones... that's really being nit picky though.... Overall great food, well priced, clean, with attentive but not obtrusive service in a light not pretentious friendly environment. I will be back!

Le steak frites est plutôt coriace. Je ne le reprendrais pas & ne le recommande pas non-plus.
