Enfin testé le Cochon Dingue pour un brunch !
J'avais toujours voulu y aller & j'ai enfin pu le faire. Le personnel est agréable & le service sympathique. La nourriture est bonne, sans réelle surprise, des classiques bien exécutés.
Je mets 4 étoiles car nos assiettes n'étaient malheureusement pas chaudes & la tasse de mon latté aurait mérité d'être nettoyée après que le barista ait renversé du lait dessus.
Avec un peu plus de rigueur sur ces petits détails, vous aurez facilement les 5 étoiles à ma prochaine visite !

Je demande, car je suis malade (chronique)
si je peux manger ma propre nourriture pour profiter avec ma famille qui va au restaurant. On me sort un « non » bye.

Les restaurants plus loin ont tous accepté.

I should've read the lowest reviews before visiting. I was recommended the Lower location, but I regret coming here because it was closer to my hotel. The food was very good, but the service was terrible.

We were seated right behind the front area where servers were constantly walking by, yet we received water later than people who arrived more than 10 minutes after us. No one came to take our order, so we asked a passing manager, but he told us our server would come-another 10 minutes wasted.

It's not just about others getting water, ordering, & receiving their food before us. If the servers are overwhelmed, the manager should step in or help coordinate, but there was none of that. The tall female server didn't even ask how the food was-she only refilled water & finally asked how everything was when it was time to pay.

I thought maybe I was just being sensitive because I was very hungry, but after reading other reviews today, I think I understand why I felt that way.

Très belle expérience à tous les égards. Accueil courtois, service attentionné, souriant & efficace, repas succulent à chaque bouchée. Nous avons opté pour la Formule Dingue (entrée - plat principal - dessert - café), TOUT était exquis...un choix judicieux qui offre un bon rapport qualité-prix. Note: nous avions réservé en ligne, une bonne idée pour le samedi soir.

Aucune attente pour avoir une table & service très rapide sans doute parce que c'était un vendredi brumeux un peu avant 8h.
