Through the years, we've dined here every time we visit Old Québec. What I've found is that their once 5-star service has dwindled. In years gone by, if you took a sip of water, your glass was refilled immediately. This visit, we had empty wine glasses & martini glasses sitting in the table for over 20-minutes. When staff did show, they were gracious & professional - it's just that there seems fewer staff overall. Cuisine is good, but in the past, it's been awe-inspiring...

We really enjoyed our dinner. It would have been nice to have the prices of the sampling menu & wine pairing mentioned to us rather than having to ask. Being on PEI I was surprise that the oyster with foie gras was served at room temperature & not cold or chilled.

A wonderful dining experience, & a perfect way to get to know some of the local cuisine. We had the 7-course tasting menu with the classic wine the pairing. The service was excellent. The food was incredible, the portions perfect.

We were so disappointed with our meal & experience here.

The dining room is lovely, elegant & calming, really tasteful & attractive decor.

The food was mostly OK. Not earth-shattering (as we had been led to expect), but just pretty good. The best dish was the amuse-bouche, though, & it kind of went downhill from there. The foie gras experience was nice but it was a lot of "same-same" (very tasty/unusual oyster with a (tee-tiny) bit of seared foie gras; but then three different kinds of foie gras terrine that were all very similar; & two foie gras sweets that were just sort of odd). The Wagyu beef carpaccio & scallop & caviar were both meh, nothing really special or notable). Both of our main courses (squab, lamb) were covered in heavy, sweet sauce, with undistinguished sides. The squab in particular was ridiculously expensive ($72), a little dry, & not treated delicately or carefully as one would expect such a dish to be. The cheese course was excellent & the dessert we ordered was fine too.

Our main problem was the service -- inattentive, long delays in bringing wine, bringing the wrong wine. Nobody was rude to us, & the pace of the meal was OK, but it was just very hard to enjoy the experience when we were so overtly being overlooked. Not at all what I expect in a fine dining restaurant (& quite frankly, not the experience our neighboring tables were generally receiving; not sure if that was because we were women, a smaller group than those tables, or English-speaking rather than French; or maybe it was not intentional, but it was very noticeable).

Dry expensive wine choices - would have preferred a wine under $100 USD

We arrived at a nearly empty dining room for 6:00p reservation. There was only one other table occupied. We received water & menus promptly then sat for 22 minutes before being greeted by a haughty waiter. No one inquired if we wanted to order wine or food. The other table received attentive service, food & drinks. Perhaps it is because we are Americans & do not speak French? He was unfriendly to the point of rudeness, & obviously sitting for 22 minutes is awkward. After we finally were allowed to place an order we were served by a very nice woman. The food was good but not spectacular. The dining room decor is tired, uninspired & very dated. There are much better restaurants in Quebec City.
