The steak my boyfriend ordered was just fair quality, nothing impressive. I order the seafood pot en pot but again I wasn't like amazed or surprised by the flavour.... My boyfriend also ordered the vanilla creme brulee but they didn't have it anymore which kind of kill our mood. Overall only the alcoholic cocktails taste great, but the food was just fair.

To summarize:
Steak was dry & overcooked (1.5/5)
Duck confit was good. (4/5)
Waited almost 30min after being seated for the waitress to first visit our table for water or take our order. (2/5)

Steak saignant servi rose cuit.
La présentation du tartare laissait à désirer (un peu garocher dans l'assiette sans aucune forme)

Excellent restaurant, the service, ambiance (decor), & food was all highly recommended. One thing tho, the bun for the Philly Steak sandwich was a bit burnt...

Notre expérience au Cochon Dingue a été généralement agréable. Notre serveur (David, si je ne m'abuse), était très courtois, serviable & gentil. Nous avons adoré être servi par lui & il a rendu l'expérience très agréable.

Par contre, nous avons eu plusieurs erreurs dans nos commandes.

Nous avions demandés une mayonnaise épicées pour nos frites & avons reçu un autre type de trempette. J'ai l'impression que le chef a inversé nos cuissons car j'avais un steak medium saignant en ayant demandé medium & ma conjointe a fait le contraire. Heureusement, malgré ces erreurs, le service de notre serveur nous gardait dans la bonne humeur & rajoutait à notre expérience.

Steak Philly fade & 3 ou 4 champignons. Je n'y au pas goûté d' oignons caramélisés. Service avenant mais mal synchronisé. Tartare de saumon un peu vinaigré. Burger pour enfant très petit.

There is better food but not for the price....not fine dining but pretty darn close at a fraction of cost of true fine dining. Ambience was overall good except i got corner table looking at a wall with jackets & high chairs piled on stones. Nicholas was our waiter & 10 out of 10. Steaks cooked beautifully, fries were tasty, salad was tasty but just lettuce. Creme brule was amongst top ive ever bad & that is my go to dessert at restaurants. Definitely recommend. Ceasar drink ...they called it a Dingue bloody mary...was very good. Only complaint is my appetizer came out one minute after my cocktail. Still highly recommend.
