We stayed over one night in the hotel & had dinner here. We ordered the plate-sized beef tartare & chicken caesar salad.

The beef tartare was actually quite good. It was seasoned & fresh, & was a healthy portion. Sadly, this was the only redeeming aspect of our meal.

The chicken caesar salad was shockingly bad. The chicken was overcooked, dry, & tasted as if it had been refrigerated for too many days. The romaine was limp & with barely any caesar dressing on it. A few scant slivers of parmesan & rubbery bacon were equally unappealing. Worst of all, the croutons were inedible owing to an unpleasant rancid flavour.

For the beef tartare plate (again, not including the tartare itself which was of good quality) the fries were cold & chewy, & the side salad was limp & did not taste fresh; it had an unpleasant taste & texture.

All this aside our server was pleasant & attentive. However, you will find a fresher, tastier (& far cheaper) chicken caesar salad at Wendy's. I hope our bad experience was an exception due to reasons that can be identified & resolved for the sake of future customers.

Let's just say I was disappointed. I sat at the bar & ordered a glass of French Malbec - nice. Nothing came with it so I asked for some peanuts. They were not available. I knew that in the adjoining'La Griffe' restaurant they provided a nice bread & spread & I was hoping that this would be offered, but no. I guess I should have asked but I don't like a dining experience to be hard work - I want to be offered options! I ended up being upsold on a small bowl of olives at $6 CAD. I ordered the lobster roll ($30 CAD) with fries & that was a disappointment & took a long time to come. A lobster roll should speak for itself but this one had a'curry' dressing & included strawberries, all on a burnt roll, & impossible to hand-hold The fries were soggy. Years ago the offerings at La Grief (& presumably this adjoining bar) were superb, but I guess nothing stays the same.

Homme d'affaire de Montréal à riviere du loup, jaimerais principalement donner un grand 5 étoiles à Ludovick le bar man qui traite ses clients & mes clients avec un respect inégalable. Je devais rester a un autre hotel mais par souci de bon service pour moi & mes clients... je suis venu au bar le 171 en espérant me faire servir par le même bon barman que les autres fois...encore une fois merci ludo pour cette superbe soirée je suis satisfait & mes clients le sont également
