Unless you are a big spending party, you may feel ignored. The food is amazing, though I felt that the smoked pasta was a bit too smoked. I really like dessert. The cheese presentation was nice, but we didn't like the cheese tastes that much. We reserved a table by the window but we were told we could not have the window table because they were prioritizing it for other parties who reserved before us. The window table sat empty the whole night. This frustrated us. We were also served a different wine without us knowing, & someone received the wrong sauce. It took maybe 30 minutes for our water to be refilled. I also felt like my age made the waiter give me less respect. I am a young adult, dining with older guests. The waiter would ask the others if they wanted anything or how their food was, but I was seldom asked. This felt disrespectful. There was a large big-spending business dinner to which our waiter attended at the same time as us. It was very clear that we were not a priority for our waiter. He prioritized the higher spending table in a way that was very obvious. Someone in our party ordered the 4-course meal with dessert, they served their dessert before asking if anyone else wanted to order dessert. We also were asked after dessert if we wanted to order coffee. This felt unacceptable for such a fine dining restaurant. The food was great but the experience left a sour taste.

We had a group dinner here -- the tasting menu -- & everyone left hungry. While the room is quite charming, the wine list is grossly overpriced & the expectation seems to be that patrons will fill up on bread & dessert & not on proteins or the featured dishes. Hugely expensive & not worth it.

We chose to head to this restaurant knowing it would be pricey & wanting to enjoy our anniversary in a special location. Other than being challenging to find within this historic hotel, this restaurant offered outstanding service, a unique, memorable & tasty set menu, & a unique & delicate atmosphere. Here you are truly treated to unique cuisine & innovative dishes designed to ignite ideas - we enjoyed the set menu though the crème brûlée dessert was not to our tastes

Nous y étions pour les 25 ans de mon conjoint en mars 2022. & je peux vous dire qu’on a eu un service d’exception. Des coupes de champagne à l’entrée au service de Jean-François (oui je me souviens de son nom….. & en plus il a offert le dessert à mon conjoint vu que c’était son anniversaire)…. On a vraiment vraiment apprécier notre expérience la bas.
