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.

J'ai organisé un souper de mariage pour ma femme. J'en ai pleuré tellement c'était parfait. Milles merci. Le chef est jeune & trop talentueux. On va beaucoup entendre parler de lui dans les prochaines années. Ses sauces sont quelque chose. Le boréal & les produits de qualité y étaient grandement valorisé. Je conseille fortement

Came here for our 5th anniversary. We got the expanded tasting menu that had a mix of seafood, berries, meat, & of course maple syrup. We got to try interesting wines alongside the dishes. Staff was very friendly & understanding of my broken French. We had a lovely view of the St. Lawrence River. Great ambience. If only we had rooms at the Frontenac where the restaurant is located so we could just walk up after. Not sure if valet parking is mandatory but that was our only option. It is an expensive experience so highly recommend going here for a special occasion.

I & my friends had a very pleasant experience & were serviced by Jean-Francois. The service was exceptional & we got the best spot looking out towards St.Laurent river. We took discovery dinner menus & all the courses were delicious & very well presented. It's quite pricey but definitely worth every penny!

Malheureusement, nous n'avons pas retrouvé le plaisir de la dernière fois: les accords mets vin n'était pas surprenant ceux-ci pour la plus part débouchés de la journée d'avant avait parfois perdus en legerté . Il n'y avait pas de couleur dans es assiette & aucun légumes. La présentation des plats était correct mais sans originalité. Le service était plutôt froid l'embianse exclusive du Champain a fait place a un service empressé & un peu impétueux bien que très professionnel. Les toilettes qui se trouvent dans le hall n'étaient pas très propres. Pour le prix je ne crois pas que nous allons y retourner . Je déconseille le menu découverte pour l'instant.

Great environment for a dinner. We had a seat overlooking the st Lawrence river. Our waiter was very friendly & informative. The set menu contained dishes we would have never ordered but enjoyed. The wine pairing is a must. 4/5 wines that I had were fantastic. This is an expensive dinner. We spent $700 as a couple. Not something we could do on a regular basis but the experience was worth every penny.

Nous y sommes allés pour le brunch du dimanche. Très bien en général. Excellent service, nourriture variée mais un peu dispendieux par rapport à la qualité des plats. J'y retournerai tout de même éventuellement.

Incredible experience. We loved it! Expérience sublime, nous avons mangé le menu découverte en accord avec le vin. Le service était parfait, l'ambiance parfaite pour un jeudi soir en famille au château. Un menu sans gluten était disponible & adapté pour toutes les bouches fines!
