Pooh and I have been wanting to experience this restaurant for a while now. The atmosphere was…read moreupscale without being pretentious. We wanted to try the Tomahawk but it wasn't on the menu so we decided to do steak on another day. To drink we ordered the apple cider. The cider was delicious and very crispy like I was eating a Cortland apple. We were served crispy bread with herb butter. The bread was crispy like toast and the butter was soft. It came with a small jar of baby dill pickles. They had a good crunch! We started with the lobster bisque. This bisque was very tasty. We could taste the lobster and it was very light; not a heavy or overly creamy soup. Pooh ordered the seafood risotto and I took the Dijon chicken. Both dishes were amazing. Pooh really enjoyed his risotto. He likes the addition of zucchini to give it a little crunch . The seafood was cooked to perfection. My chicken was super tender. I could taste the Dijon mustard. The mashed potatoes were smooth and the green beans were crispy and cooked perfectly. Our server was very polite and checked on us regularly. He apologized for not getting the wine when our meal arrived. Our only complaint was the wine. Usually the wine arrives right before the meal but our meal arrived first and we ate slowly as we waited for the wine to come. The wine arrived five minutes later and the server explained that it wasn't cold enough to give us. By the time I finished eating (because we had to wait for the wine) my potatoes were cold. We finished our evening with dessert. I had the lemon-in-a-jar and Pooh had the Crème brûlée. Pooh's crème brûlée was perfect. My lemon dessert was too sweet. The tartness of the lemon was overpowered by the sweetness of the almond crumble We enjoyed our meal and the service was excellent but they need to put the white wine in a cooler sooner.

I order a salmon meal. The salmon was tasteless but thankfully the sauce helped it. The mocktail was good. They had quite good amount of people there on a Sunday but definitely had open tables if I wanted to sit at a two seater but they suggested I go to the bar which is huge, but no one else was sitting there. Overall an okay spot, nice inside, my one dish was mediocre but not sure what the other dishes taste like.

Fine Dining in the Saint-Hubert, Longueuil area. Bring your…read moreown wine .. Opened August 2021, it's a fine dining cuisine, modern bistro style. It's local seasonal products and everything made in house brings the flavours to life. Open concept with relaxed and friendly environment makes the environment all the more enjoyable. The dining holds about 50 people and they now have an outdoor terrace. The menu changes about every two weeks, so it just makes you wanting more. I recommend if your going for the first time to try the 5 course tasting. I have to say that I can't talk about one specific favourite item but what I can say is that anything you have, you will not be disappointed. Check out the $50.00 promo on Wednesday and Thursday (soup or salad / any plate / desert) No need to describe the amazing beef tartare, Bavette, boudin, Trout , Tiramisu or crème brûlée.... By the time you go the menu would be slightly different and just don't forget ur wine!

I loved this. Never saw another restaurant plop down mustard and pickles. The mustard was also possibly the most delicious mustard I've ever had. Very spicy and slightly salty - Duck confit on beans $37. Tasty, crispy, rich. - Grilled octopus on pepper sauce with potatos $24. Really tender and flavourful. The sauce was bright and acidic - Sorrel soup $13.75. First time having sorrel. It has a slightly sour taste. The soup was creamy and tangy. I'm glad we tried it - Quail with quail eggs on purple rice $37.50. Quail itself wasn't as flavourful but the sauce was amazing and soaked into the rice - Creme brulee $15. Flavour was impeccable. Had a slight grainy texture which was odd but this is just nit picking. Comes with a warm cookie Everything was good. I'm being more nitpicky here than usual, mostly to go back to these notes again in the future. I loved the meal and would definitely go back. Service is very friendly. Food came out super fast. The restaurant is bright and lively. Tables are quite cramped together but it makes sense as they quickly filled up for the evening. Thanks, we'll definitely be back!

The ambiance was…read morecool and it was packed when we arrived around 730pm on a Monday night, which was a great sign. Our waiter, Jordan, was very personable and recommended his favourite dishes. I chose the French onion soup and salmon entree, my mom went with the escargot to start and the pork chop for her main. The soup was so rich and delicious, my mom loved the snails. The salmon was cooked perfectly and my mom also enjoyed her pork chop. We also ordered a side of Brussels sprouts which were super tasty too. The portions were surprisingly large so we couldn't finish everything. They had asked us to switch tables partway through dining to accompany a larger party, which was fine for us and they offered us a complimentary dessert for the trouble. Since we were stuffed, we took the dessert to go. It was a deconstructed dulce de leche cheesecake and it was rich and so tasty. Would definitely return!

The bone marrow with snails was also good, but the combination was a little weird. I liked the bone marrow. I liked the snails. But served together took away from enjoying each part on its own. The duck was roasted to perfection. The skin was so crispy and the meat just fell off the bone. Same goes for the braised veal cheeks. There was no bone to fall off of, but the meat was so tender and just came apart as soon as I pressed down with my knife. I can't wait to come back to try the Salle à Manger since it's a different menu. Foie gras parfait 8/10 Bone marrow, Burgundy snails 8/10 Braised veal cheeks 9/10 Duck confit 9/10

Server was nice even though at some point he was just standing there and we were waiting for him to come back to order dessert to the point where u actually had to call him but this was nothing truly. Lamb with sweet garlic sauce Filet mignon with five peppercorn and cognac sauce Key lime pie The meat was great, truly. The sauces? a total disgrace / turn off considering the price of each plate. Sweet garlic, had nothing I could say I feel the garlic in at all. Flavorless. Five pepercorn with cognac non existent ! The only time i taste the peppercorn was if I BIT the actual peppercorn. The dessert ? I ate 2 bites and left the entire thing. The "crust" was nowhere to be found it was watered down carton... and the lime layer felt like I was biting into fake jelly. I have nothing else to say but you can decide how you spend your money. The "fancy" restaurant leaves a lot to desire.

The one time I would say "I highly recommend this place"…read more Without a single reservation. There are two dining options; an inner courtyard to dine, with that outdoor feeling, where the live music is heard, and a sidewalk cafe venue. Live piano combo music. They segue from one song to the next, seamlessly. You know, this isn't their "first rodeo". The menu has in alphabetical order: American, Canadian, French, Hawaiian, Italian, and Tex-Mex. It may sound impossible to accomplish in one kitchen, but they've done it exceptionally well! We tried three of 6. Each of us was very happy. The servers have mastered Continental service, it's a pleasure to dine there. We inquired how large the small pitcher of sangria was? Enough for two people? She said it would give us about two glasses a piece. Perfect. It wasn't all fruit or cheap wine. If we lived in the neighborhood, we'd be there a few times a month until we tried everything on the menu; then start all over again! It has a certain romantic atmosphere to it; it's also an excellent value compared to some of the places we ate. That is how impressed we were. The food is superb, just enough so there's room for dessert and coffee if you like. One minor complaint: washrooms in most restaurants are either 40 feet above the main floor or below it. =(
