Good meal. We had the steak frites & pork chop. Steak & pork chop were cooked really well but pork chop was not hot & the fries were right out of a McCain bag. Side salad & sauce vegetables were great.
Service fantastique, décoration du restaurant très chaleureuse. & le foie de veau, compotée d'oignons & bacon, wow, succulent, la sauce à la moutarde est juste incroyable.
Totally disappointed with my meal here. Value- Price is poor.
Service was just ok.
Order to table time not acceptable
Seating:
When we first came in, there was nobody at the front desk for a good five minutes… eventually we were seated.
Service:
Our server was nice, but I had to ask somebody else twice to refill my water. I did mention to my server that I have coeliac & that I could not have anything with gluten, & when we were served our appetizers someone other than our server brought the food &, they had switched our dishes. Not good.
Service was very slow & not really attentive. The restaurant was not busy at all. All the employees seem to be congregating inside at the bar.
The parking here offers 75 minutes for free & if you validate your ticket inside the restaurant, you get two hours for free.
We did not think that we would go over 75 minutes as all we had was an appetizer, drinks, & one main dish. there were only 2 of us. We ordered right away but we still went over that 75 minutes so we ended up paying the parking. Side note: if you scan your parking ticket in the restaurant, you get up to two hours free, you might need it. I see a few reviews here mentioning soeed of service being slow.
Food:
Our appetizers were decent. This was actually the best part of the meal. My only complaint is that the sauce for my duck drumsticks was cold, not sure if that's normal for the recipe but it was a little disappointing.
Main course was a sandwich. It took very long for the sandwich to come out. We joked that they must be baking the bread. When it came out the meat was cold. The accompanying coleslaw was disgusting. It tasted like an over fermented alcohol.
Note:
We did mention the cold meat to our server when we settled the bill. He advised that we should have let him know sooner so he could rectify the problem. We would have loved to, but he did not come by at all while we were having our main meal.
Conclusion:
Considering the price of roughly $100 for two people, the slow service that lacked attention to detail, & the 2 cold food incidents. I am actually a little upset & feel ripped off.
I would not go back here & I would not recommend it.

Was in town with work & this was near my hotel & was a great experience. The waitress was very helpful & polite. The French Onion Soup was amazing. I was adventurous & tried the Black/Blood pudding & it was excellently balanced with the sauce, mashed potatoes, & sweet vegetables & sautéed onions. I really enjoyed this restaurant.
J'ai été déçu de mon expérience. Premièrement, la soupe aux oignons était fade, sans goût, grave manque d'assaisonnement, bouillon clair qui goûtait l'eau ou presque, sans compter la petite quantité d'oignons & trop de pain. La pire soupe aux onions que j'ai mangé depuis longtemps. Deuxièmement, le sandwich au boeuf façon Philly. Bien en dessous de la moyenne pour ce type de sandwich. Le pain était mou & bien ordinaire, le boeuf passable mais je doute fort que c'était de la brisket. Ressemblait plus à du boeuf à fondue chinoise. Fromage, champignons & oignons manquants de goût & assaisonnement. La sauce pour tremper était loin d'un simple jus de viande, ça l'avait la texture & le goût sucré d'une sauce BBQ bas de gamme. Mauvais combinaison avec un tel sandwich. La mayonnaise était tout simplement indigeste. Je n'y ai pas touché sauf pour y goûter à deux reprises pour m'assurer que je n'étais pas fou. Une deuxième personne est arrivée à la même conclusion. Le positif: La salade de choux était bonne. Le serveur était poli & efficace. La décoration est bien. & les autres personnes du groupe se sont montrés satisfaites, sans plus, de leur repas. En bref, une expérience décevante pour ma part.
We weren't sure what to expect from a chain restaurant but were very pleasantly surprised! The restaurant is very spacious with modern Parisian vibes - when we arrived around 5:30pm on a Friday, we were seated right away. There are some larger tables as well which would be great for groups. We ordered from the table d'hôte (dinner set menu) to share - the shellfish bisque, smoked pork belly, grilled rainbow trout, steak frites with mushroom sauce & ending with the creme brulee & chocolate mousse cake. Dishes were all fantastic & portion sizes were good. The rainbow trout was a bit bland on its own, could've used more seasoning. Otherwise, everything was very flavorful & cooked perfectly. We really loved the desserts too, especially the chocolate mousse cake which was rich & decadent. Overall, very good value for the quality & quantity of food. Service is very friendly & efficient - we don't speak a word of French but Alicia made us feel right at home. 4.5/5
Service ultra rapide
Les assiettes déjeuner ont diminués en quantité de nourriture.....
Saucisses déjeuner plus petite
Mini pain baguette
Moins de sauce hollandaise
Un jour il faudrait que les effets de la pandémie finissent...& que les prix/quantité redeviennent à la normale.
Bonjour! Merci pour la préparation, l'excellent service pour notre table de groupe. C'était à la hauteur de nos attentes! À côté de moi, la personne n'a pas aimé son plat (viande/porc je crois avec sauce ) dans la table d'hôte ni la cuisson. Elle n'a pas osé le dire mais je passe le message car je trouve ça important pour vous de savoir que certains plats sont peut-être parfois moins appréciés unanimement. Moi j'ai pris des gnocchis & ils étaient très bons. Merci
Mon commentaire se veut constructif. A notre arrivée, il n'y avait pas de menu de breuvages (en soit pas grave). Donc quand la serveuse vient pour voir ce qu'on veut boire, on lui demande le menu. Mais après, ce fut vraiment très long avant qu'elle revienne (& il était 17h30, donc pas encore très achalandé). Ensuite, évidemment c'est une question de goût, mais voici des commentaires sur blanc nourriture :
- le mocktail que j'ai pris (j'oublie le nom) goûtait seulement le jus de pamplemousse (& je prends souvent des mocktail). Donc décevant.
- dans la table d'hôte, il y avait une chaudrée de palourdes, mais elle goûtait un peu bizarre. On pense qu'il y avait beaucoup trop de jus lime...
- le sandwich au boeuf brisket : pourbla sauce, il y avait vraiment beaucoup de canelle. Il serait bien de l'inscrire dans le menu ou que le serveur le dise (ce n'est pas tout le monde qui aime ça)
