probably the worst & rudest service I've ever seen. Someone hates the job they work at. Food was good

We had a larger group of 11 people. The food was good but I wouldn't say it was exceptional. The biggest reason for only three stars is that the service was really slow. This is definitely fine dining & by no means were we in a rush but it was a solid 1 hour & 45 minutes before we got our entrees. Our server was very nice but some of the food runners were not as pleasant. Also, I had made the reservation through the concierge & she told me there would be fireworks on that particular evening that we could watch from the restaurant but there were no fireworks. That was not a big deal but I was surprised that the concierge had gotten this wrong.

Fantastic food with an amazing venue. If reserving, try for the interior alcove for a river view. You can also park at the hotel where the client entry is - it was valet & free! Our waiter Gautier was fantastic - he spoke English & French & was very personable. Took a while for our drinks to come, though. Food was nicely portioned & good quality for the price. We were two adults & a teen, none of us very hungry. We split a burger that came with fries & a side salad, calamari & the starter ribs & could barely finish it. It cost roughly CAD 100.

What a wonderful dining experience! Our table looked out over the St. Lawrence River, which provided a beautiful backdrop for our meal. The cocktails were fantastic & the charcuterie board is not to be missed. The salad dressing was the best I have ever tasted & the service was great.

Un magnifique lieu un personnel adorable mais une cuisine loin d être à la hauteur du prix exigé pour le menu des feux lotos quebec. Néanmoins je recommande pour la vue inégalable & la gentillesse des équipes de services
