The view is beautiful. The service was great. We didn't have a reservation, but they were able to accommodate my sister & me for lunch in a very sunny portion of the restaurant where we could see the view of the Dufferin Terrace. The scallops & fennel were chef's kiss 💋. My sister had the seafood casserole that tasted really yummy, also. I ordered the truffle popcorn for dessert. The cosmopolitan 🍸 was sooo nice. Would definitely recommend, & will return.

Fabulous drinks, great food. Friendly staff. Great place to enjoy while staying at the Chateau Frontenac. Highly recommend.

Shoutout to Annika, who had to deal with some drunk hockey parents, who were part of the Pee-Wee hockey tournament. The restaurant was overwhelmed with poorly behaved kids & & their difficult parents. Regardless of such, the staff kept things in good order & it was much appreciated!
