Service by Amber was great. Food was average. Our group of 5 ordered from the table d'hote.
Nothing special. Chicken was dry. Water for tea was not hot for some of the group. Did enjoy the creme caramel dessert and lemon ice cream. The chairs were uncomfortable (seating was hard).

La nourriture crevette trop cuite comme du caoutchouc comme entre 2 sur 5 pas pire et après plat principal pas bonne trop cuire lieux employés vient me voir et me dit de gérant un propriétaire est décédé on peux rien faire j étais avec 2 autres personnes repas très médium pour un soir de St Valentin et le prix assez cher pour une bouffe très médium et rien fait pour récupéré seul commentaire une personne va vous contacter je prend votre nom et numéro apres 1 semaine rien recu je donne mon commentaire désolé je ne le recommande pas. Peut être c étais une mauvaise journée du chef. Moi comme client insatisfait en général au dire des employés que je recerais un appel d un dirigeant et bouffe médium.

Nous sommes vraiment désolés que votre expérience n'ait pas été celle à laquelle vous vous attendiez et nous vous avons appelé pour vous offrir un repas gratuit pour deux dans notre restaurant pour compenser cela. Nous comprenons qu'il a fallu une semaine pour appeler, mais comme expliqué, l'un des propriétaires était décédé et il se passait beaucoup de choses.
Nous vous remercions d'avoir pris le temps de discuter avec nous au téléphone et sommes impatients de vous revoir et de vous offrir une bien meilleure expérience. Merci.

Food was terrific and both it and house wine were very reasonably priced. My wife had piri piri shrimp which was very tasty but probably could have been a little spicier for her given her tastes but very very good. I had madiera beef brochette which was excellent. Place was a little quiet for Saturday night but a larger group did come in and twice before I couldn't get a reservation earlier in the week. Place us a real gem and montrealers should pack the place every night

C’était correcte sans plus. Ls présentation des plats est plutôt ordinaire ainsi que la quantité. Le service et l’ambiance étaient excellent. Nous ne regrettons pas notre souper mais ce restaurant ne sera pas dans notre liste.
