We went there on the occasion of my daughter's second birthday. While the ambience is amazing, the food was just average & the service was just bad. The server was just grumpy all the time (we felt almost unwelcome there). When we asked him to change the salad we ordered to something on the kids menu, we just ended up with both. It's as if whatever we were requesting was not being heard at all. He didn't even ask if her veggies should be raw or steamed & was brought raw. You guys can do better. Please. The whole experience was hence very underwhelming 🥹

Food was good but nothing special & portions were not great for the price. There was no way my "8 oz" steak was 8 oz. Caesar salad had little to no dressing. Green salad too. Fries were aight-no flav or crisp. Cod fish was good, but very small. Too much fries in comparison.

L'endroit est magnifique. Nous avions une table pour 2 avec la vue directement sur le fleuve & Lévis tout illuminé. Les tables sont plus espacées que bien d'autres restaurants nous donnant plus d'intimité. Le service a été excellent & le personnel est très courtois. Mon assiette de pétoncle (50$) ne contenait que 3 pétoncles. Elles étaient très bonnes mais il y aurait pus en avoir plus. Je suis resté sur ma faim. La salade de ma conjointe était plutôt ordinaire.

The atmosphere & ambiance are wonderful. There's a great view over the city, especially at night. We had the ribs & salmon tartare as appetizers. Both were great. I had the seafood casserole & would order again. Lots of seafood & quite tasty. My husband ordered the fish & chips. Coming from Newfoundland & enjoying fresh cod & knowing the difference in cod that has been frozen for some time, this was well frozen cod & quite dry. The waiter couldn't tell us where it was sourced from other than it is "Atlantic", & that means it could have come from Europe! If you're a fan of cod, don't order this. It's not terrible, just not great, especially for the price. Otherwise it was a great experience & would recommend.
