Caesar salad was decent, the inside of the foie gras was a bit too runny, & the orange duck was average & I couldn't tell if they forgot the butter or if that's just not supposed to be in the dish.
Couldn't have had a better experience. The Staff is superb & the service is unparalleled.
The flambe service is definitely a unique & highly recommended experience. Highly recommend the caesar salad because it is made right in front of you. The ambiance of the restaurant is gorgeous & the care that the staff puts into everything they do will touch your heart. Flawless & highly recommended restaurant.

Our waiter was fantastic! So skilled at the table side preparations, & very friendly. Food was fantastic. Literally the best Caesar salad of my life! & the flambé coffee drink was life-changing.
Overall, our experience was very positive & special! Our waiter was a bit too much impressed with himself. More modesty would havre been more appropriate. Caesar salad was too mustardy for my palate & lettuce could have been crisper. Finally, sirloin with mustard was cooked very nicely(med-rare) & sauce was delicious.
We recently had the privilege of dining at Le Continental, an esteemed restaurant nestled in the historic heart of Quebec City, Canada. From the moment we entered, we were captivated by the old-world charm, accentuated by waitstaff donned in crisp white tuxedo jackets, who skillfully prepared many dishes right at our table. The evening commenced with a classic Negroni, a harmonious blend of gin, Campari, & sweet vermouth, artfully garnished with an orange peel. Alongside it, an extra dry vodka martini provided a sophisticated start to our culinary journey. The first act of this gastronomic ballet was the Salade Cesar, a Caesar salad for two, prepared tableside. The spectacle of its creation was as impressive as the salad itself. The server deftly combined egg yolk, olive oil, chopped anchovies, garlic, & Worcestershire sauce, among other ingredients, to craft what might just be the finest Caesar salad I've ever tasted. Truly a masterpiece in a bowl. Next, we delved into the Bisque de homard parfumẽe Au Cognac, a lobster bisque infused with a hint of cognac. It was a delightful departure from the traditional New England lobster bisque I'm accustomed to, offering a unique texture & flavor profile that was both surprising & satisfying. The pièce de résistance was the Boeuf Wellington Au foie gras poêlé, duxelle de champignons & sauce Périgourdine. This dish, a symphony of seared foie gras, mushroom duxelles, & Périgourdine sauce, elevated the classic Wellington beef to new heights. We paired it with a broiled lobster tail, creating an exquisite surf & turf that was both indulgent & memorable. Although the dessert offerings were tempting, we concluded our meal with signature cappuccinos, a perfect ending to an extraordinary dining experience. Le Continental is more than just a restaurant; it's a culinary institution that I would highly recommend to anyone seeking fine dining excellence. Their ability to blend tradition with innovation is truly "très magnifique!"
The food was excellent - we would have enjoyed our experience more (table side Caesar salad preparation & table side Duck a l'Orange preparation) if the waiter/chef had even a sliver of personality. Other tables had the waiter/chef offer to take photos of them while the entree went up in flames. Our waiter didn't even acknowledge our presence, kept a deadpan serious face & moved on! Not nearly the reception we expected.
We had a supreme dining experience. It was as expected & more. The Caesar salad preparation by the table was something we haven't seen in many years. Preparation of the filet tableside was was both entertaining & interesting. The Brazilian coffee was amazing! The entire dining experience will always be a wonderful memory for us on the occasion of our wedding annniversary!
