went in on a friday afternoon, the place is pretty nice visually and i ordered a cocktail OTD which was pretty good given that it was a surprise, the lady and i got 2 apps, one being a seared tuna and the other being a double salmon tartare(?) i believe thats what it was called, seared tuna was all right, but the salmon, wow.... stay away. it tasted to they cooked it with a wet towel that was sitting in the window overnight. service was alright. i would recommend this place for drinks but im not to sure about the food

It was a blast. But for people overweight the tall chairs and bankets are to high and to small. Other than that the music was very good and the waiters were very nice. I had a great evening. Will do again ♥️

Food is great, service was incredibly slow, taking an hour for our food to arrive. Noted that the restaurant was only about 2/3 full. The server never came to even check on us or offer a reason for the delay. Eventually the manager came when we had our food to see if we were satisfied, and then we told him it was very long waiting. He gave us a free dessert.

Overall, very nice restaurant with decent pricing and polite staff. unfortunately, I felt pushed out as the operating hours are not as reflected on Google. (closing midnight) I was recently looking for a new hang-out place where I could take out my staff and enjoy a few drinks after in the same location or perhaps even throw a staff party. Google shows the restaurants closing at midnight so I showed up at 8:45 PM last Thursday. At 9:07 the very polite waiter informed me that it was the last call for food. I was surprised and a bit disappointed but ordered my meal. About 10 minutes later I was told it was the last call for drinks and that he believed the restaurant was closing at 10:00 PM today because there were not enough people. Being in the retail business, I can clearly understand that some days are harder than others however, when you advertise certain hours of operations, you must respect them regardless of how many customers you have. I couldn’t imagine myself telling any of my clients “You’re going to have to hurry up because we’re closing early today” As I said, overall, the restaurant was a great experience, but definitely not somewhere. I would consider going again without being reassured that the hours are going back to what figured on Google.

It was a very bad experience. I ordered Caesar salad with salmon. When I came home and opened the food, I was surprised to see that the fish was burnt. Much of back of Salmon was burnt and all the sides were burned and a bite was torn and missing. When eating a salad, a big hair was wrapped around the salad. I paid $ 31 for a hairy salad and burnt fish.

Great place for cocktails with friends. Lots of options, including beers, wines, and shooters. Daily promotions on drinks. The food is good too. Mainly for burgers and tartares. And there is live entertainment on occasion. We did have to wait a while at the door though before someone greeted us; which seems to be a recurring critic in many reviews.

It was my first time coming here, and I was not expecting the vibe to be that hype on a Friday night. We got seated really fast, and the bus boy was very friendly. We also got drinks really fast, and we loved that they have daily drink deals. The food came really fast as well, and the servers were all very friendly. The red tuna mango tartare was delicious and filling.

nice specials - wine at SAAQ price - cool to know the quantity of sugar too My comment would be regarding the replacement of fries for green salad or extra rice, or vegetables. Being diabetic, I believe that a green salad on the side should not cost extra and options at the same price as fries should exist. Thank you for the beautiful evening - it was very good You also have a light bulb changed and it was unpleasant while we were eating. THANKS Dietary restrictions: replacement sides that are healthier and free of charge than fries.

Very dissipointing that your only vegetarian option, the veggie burger, cannot be made vegan because the bun you offer contains egg. A very strange choice, considering no vegan will be able to dine at your restaurant. Please improve your menu.

September 21, 2024

The service was excessively slow and impersonal. It took at least 30 minutes from my arrival, ordering a sangria to receiving it. Then another 30 minutes to order the meal and another 30 minutes before it is served. Very disappointing.

Me, my husband and friend went there for the first time on August 28 for dinner and we really liked it. Our waitress Nellie gave us impeccable service!! We asked him for his suggestions for drinks and meals and were happy with them and really not disappointed and liked them. I had the Hibiscus drink, tuna tataki with beet caparcio, my partner Michalob Ultra beer on tap, Caesar salad with Cajun chicken and my boyfriend the summer cucumber, tuna tataki and lobster and shrimp poutine. Everything was excellent!! Some say the service is slow but we found the service excellent. You have time to have a drink or 2 and chat quietly before receiving your dinner. Drinks are wow and the beer very cold. We cant wait to go back!! Thank you Nellie for everything and see you soon.

Overall experience a four star. The service was friendly and inviting. The food came out fast, we both ordered the tartar however I m taking a star off because this is the fourth time we come and there is never enough croutons for the tartar. Barely enough for half of the portion. (3 croutons total, approx 3in long). The atmosphere is where it was more of a let down. The music was loud to the point of having difficulty hearing eachother and the service staff.

At my age, I decide to not just settle for good food, I also want amazing service to come with it. It costs a lot to eat out and I wont support the businesses that dont train their staff to make the atmosphere pleasant. SO, I wont come back!! I was craving for beef/ salmon tartare and saw they offered a nice variety. After getting our groceries, we decided to stop for a quick meal since it was not busy at all. We go in there, two people pass us, not greeting us. Finally, the waitress shows up and shows us the tables. We asked for a booth but despite no one was there, she said we could only get one starting 3 people. Unbelievable! So we had a very uncomfortable table because there was two of us, while the couple with the child could have a booth. That was a bad start. The cutlery was not clean and our concerns were not addressed properly. The two stars are for the salmon tartare that was good but awfully tiny for 28$!

July 21, 2024

Tried this location after enjoying other locations. We were essentielles completely abandoned until I aprocahed the manager. The new waitress did not check up on us for over 60 minutes. It took them 90 minutes to get our food. Everyone around us mysteriously kept getting served. Manager was absolutely great in picking up the slack after we broached the matter with her (after being ignored by our waitress for 60 minutes). Food was good. Still have no idea what occurred.

UPDATE: Nice evening, good service. The menu has changed again. We gather in a section with a group of 30 people who do not all order at the same time. We arrived at 7 p.m. and our main meal was served at 8:35 p.m. Phew! Another chance that the waitress was really very nice because we would have taken everything to take away and we would have left straight away. Not only did this group really make the evening difficult for us, lacking in interpersonal skills and good manners, but the wait because of them was interminable. We arrived to eat it was 9 p.m. on Friday September 9. It was quite full but we managed to get a place. The waiter comes to see us and asks us what we want to drink and at the same time takes our food order. We never had water, it probably took 15 to 20 minutes I would say to get our drinks and the food arrived at the same time! Talk about having a cocktail with your food! He clearly didnt understand anything about the restoration!!! We ordered the tartar trios and decided to share. I have come several times in the past, I have often taken the duo, my children too, and we see the plate arriving and the first reaction: the portions have diminished or there! Their template in which they make their tartare has gone from perfect to really too small. I would have been curious to see when you order a single portion of tartare if it is the same size or if they reduce the portions for duos and trios of tartares Then we finish the meal with our cocktails, the waiter made an order mistake we never got our sweet potatoes but fries which we didnt eat, and never came to see us but made us a of the large table further on, youre talking about a service. We never had a glass of water... 20 minutes later we looked for it in sight in the restaurant, it was nowhere. I go to see the bartender to ask for someone to get our server, I want my bill and to pay. It took at least another 5 minutes. He didnt apologize for anything, these young people dont know what customer service is. I worked in Quebec City on Grande-Allee to pay for my studies and I would never have dared to go see my clients without apologizing a little. Really ordinary. Volume of music with DJ a little too loud it was cool atmosphere but really too difficult to talk. But the music was really good. Ill give you this.

It is a very noisy restaurant, the music is loud and the birthdays are celebrated by the sound of a cowbell and flashing lights. Our waitress made mistakes at every step she had to serve us. We had to send back a vegeburg because it was cold and the not melted cheese proved just that. Fortunately they were able to make another one which tasted much better. One of our friend ordered an entree as a main meal and funny enough it came 15 min after everyones food. The tartare was actually very delicious so that is their saving grace. I would recommend getting the tartare (I had salmon but other friends enjoyed their beef tartare).

Horrible service . We had to wait get seated there were no staff in the bar/restaurant . Only had about four tables filled and had to wait an hour to get food .

Only reason we went there because we got a gift certificate. Ill never go again

First of all, you should know that I am a big fan of the concept of the Shaker franchise. For my birthday I decided to celebrate it at Shaker in Gatineau, it was ultimately a disappointment in every way. Our waitress did a good job. On the other hand, in terms of the menu, 25% of the menu was noticeably missing, such as nachos, salmon steak, vegetable side dish, etc. A guests tartar was served rather hot, a piece of crab shell in a poutine, less generous portions than at other franchises, not the same decorations on the cocktails, etc. As a result, I am used to the fact that at 10:00 p.m. the shakers continue to fill with the arrival of the DJ and that we can stay up until the early hours of the morning, unfortunately at 9:00 p.m. almost no one is left in the restaurant and the last call came very early. Hoping that this franchise gets its act together, because we are far from the standards that I know of this company.

One of the worst experiences of my life. The restaurant wasn t even full and our server barely acknowledge that we were there. We had to ask for utensils, more water and had to hunt him down for the bill. Food was really dry, lacking of flavour and burnt. It took over an hour to receive 3 burgers and fish and chips. I am truly disappointed and will not be eating here again.

I am writing to you to share my comments on the musical atmosphere of your establishment. I think there is great potential to improve the customer experience by varying the background music. It is not necessary to hire a DJ, but rather use an afrobeat or Rnb music compilation on YouTube (e.g. Dj Boat) which could go a long way in creating a more engaging atmosphere. I highly recommend you consider this suggestion as I am confident it will help you attract more customers.

We stumbled upon Shaker Gatineau when it reopened post-pandemic, and it exceeded our expectations. The food was superb, and the drinks were impressive. Over the years, weve hosted various celebrations there, thanks to their affordable yet top-notch menu and generous promotions for group dinners. Recently, we enjoyed a relaxed double date dinner, exploring new dishes and drinks. The timing of the food was perfect, allowing us to savor each course while enjoying conversation. The staff was attentive yet discreet, enhancing our experience. Shaker continues to impress us, and we eagerly anticipate our next visit, perhaps to enjoy their cool terrace on a hot day. Thank you, Shaker, for consistently providing exceptional service and keeping us hydrated with those phenomenal drinks.

My boyfriend and I came in the afternoon. There s a sign that says wait to be seated . We waited and the bartender shouted at us from the bar to go find a seat. We seated ourselves and waited over 15 minutes to be greeted and asked about drinks. My boyfriend had to ask for menus. It s now been an hour since we got here. We haven t had a refill of our drinks, we haven t received any food even after ordering. There s maybe 3-4 people including the bartenders taking orders from customers, dealing with the bar, running food and checking people out. I don t understand how a restaurant/bar is so awful at customer service, preparing food and hospitality. Spare yourself the hassle and go somewhere else where the menus aren t only in French and the wait time for food is an hour.

I ordered a meal to go out last Saturday, the quantities of tartare and fries that I received was more than mediocre. I also ordered a tuna tataki, I received 4 slices of tuna in a glass, without mayonnaise as indicated in the menu, so I called the restaurant and the lady told me that the manager would not call back in a few minutes. I never heard back! Extremely disappointing, to be continued if I return

I wont the valentines day contest on Instagram. They didnt even acknowledge it and acted annoyed when i told them. Service was horrible, we had a reservation and waited almost 10 minutes to get our table. Server was cold and seemed like he did not want to be there. Food was amazing though. Burger and fries were fresh and were amazing.

lol service is so slow its crazy doesnt matter if you spend 100$ 200$ it wont make service faster, the server served me a shot with a shot glass that was clearly broken and I cut my lip, all the server said was Ill credit it for you, how about credit my entire meal my lip was bleeding, this place is for people who dont care about service and like a really loud atmosphere.

After our server took our drinks and appetizer order it took 40 minutes of wait for our server to come ask what our drinks where because I guess she forgot to put the order in which ok mistakes happens but no one came to check on us for very long and then we still waited for ever for the appetizers and an other for ever for the meal...and the worst is we saw other client sit eat and leave before we even had anything to eat. Nothing in our order was complicated but I think what really got me to give poor review was the fact no one apologized to us or told us there was extreme delay we where simply ignored...

Its been a few years since Ive had several bad experiences, we decided to give it another chance with the new menu! Yesterday the site was booked for the reservation we took the chance to go there, it was full! But the manager came to take my name and # and told me that she would call us if a place becomes available, 5 minutes later we were seated! The service was a little long for our drinks, the waitress seemed not very experienced but in general I have already experienced worse. The drinks were super good btw! We each had a hamburger, a super good hamburger I am more than happy that the poppy seed bread was removed from the menu it was not edible The only complaint is $3.99 for the poutine version = a scoop of sauce and 3 cheese grains in the fry rack, it s expensive! In general, I am happy with my experience and we will go back!

A very nice restaurant in Gatineau. The server was good. The problem is that waiting 25 minutes to receive 2 cocktails when there are 4 bartenders behind the counter escapes me. And to be told by the waiter that its because the bartender is in training... Yes, but the other bartenders... When you pay you expect service in an acceptable time. This was not acceptable. Especially not when its 2030 and its not full like last night.

Absolutely awful the waitress at the front on a Friday night was ignorant as a tourist I enjoy eating at different spots we told her we are English and she continued to speak in French and then told me their kitchen was closed, even though we called ahead to ask if kitchen was closed highly don t recommend.

For one the music is too loud. My throat hurts from trying to speak to the person next to me all night. They sat us at a booth next to the bar. Where they broke glass not once but twice. the broken glass flew and hit the back of our heads, our backs, our legs, our hair and most likely in my food and drink. So I quite obviously stopped eating my food. They never offered to take the food and drinks off my bill considering there was probably broken glass in it. But I digress I guess what was also pretty disappointing is the lack of vegetarian options they had. The menu is 98% meat and fish base. You have a veggie burger as option, nachos and poutine. And if you re vegan well maybe a 21$ burger with only ketchup lettuce and tomato will do the trick. I ended up ordering a round of Burt Reynolds for the birthday party. They didn t bother to add the rum to make it actually a shooter. It was straight up butterscotch liqueur. But they even had the audacity to give us shots that were barely half full. Last and not least it took about 25 mins for the server to come by and take my drink order. I m not sure how this place is still running. Me giving this place a 2 star is being nice.

Slow service, but very busy. Baked Brie was nice, but needs more bread, was out of bread and still had half a Brie. Had the Bavette de Boeuf. Beef and sauce were very tasty and well prepared. The rice side was plain and uninspired and the salad was fresh but the dressing was lacking.

The atmosphere was very good although the music was a little loud, we had to shout to hear each other. The food was tasty and delicious but the portions were too small. I took the 2x tartare 4oz duo for $35.99 and I was still hungry afterwards. I asked if it was possible to have 6oz tartares since there are individual tartars on the menu but I was told that it was impossible. I would have happily paid extra but hey.... impossibility obliges, I kept my money in my pocket.
