Came to pick up a DoorDash order for my husband, and the staff does not even greet you. Ignored me and decided to sit the group standing behind me. After waiting 10 mins and being ignored by 5 different staff members, I pulled out my phone to write this Google review. Only then did they acknowledge that I existed and needed something. Instead of apologizing for their bad service and poor communication skills, one of their staff told me that it is my responsibility to take the initiative to ask for what I need and it is not up to them as the restaurant to provide the service upfront. I find it ridiculous that they were able to greet and seat a group of three that were standing behind me but not greet the one first in line. Wouldn't recommend and never ordering from here again. Reply to resto: If the servers were so busy and couldn’t serve me, why were they able to serve the 3 customers that came in behind me? It does not matter that the order was completed in time. If a customer has to ask to be greeted because your staff cannot handle it, then close your restaurant. I get better service at McDonald’s.

Nice choice of beers from Quebec, the dishes are made with meats and cheese from the region, a big plus in my opinion Everything is really good and very tasty. I recommend the poutine coch-on and the ribs. Be careful, very generous portions you will get what you pay for. Very nice server. A little noisy place for a date but very good place with friends because it is very friendly. Parking: Free parking after 6 p.m. on weekdays and free in FDS

★★
November 22, 2024

I like this restaurant, Ive been there a few times. Less conclusive take out experience because the order promised at 6:00 p.m. was not ready before 6:25 p.m. Also, the fake veggie chicken balls were overcooked, so that it was quite difficult to chew them In short, at $25 + taxes per portion, my expectations were not met. In the dining room on the other hand, it wasnt burnt...

Fairly good food (excellent poutine) decent service given the number of customers but you cant hear the music which is already loud but since its already loud, the customers shout to be heard so we come out, no voice. the owner is allows you to insult customers who have a bad comment, which is obviously not done. Apart from the great cardboard signs with their comments that make you laugh, there is nothing more than another restaurant.

Last Saturday I ordered the smooth pork poutine with smoke meat... Its not smoke meat but ultra-cheep and cold sandwich meat. Dont even cut everything into strips. My poutine had a huge puddle of pickle water. In short, it was cold and really disappointing compared to what Im used to eating here. The waitress had an attitude and refused to take our starter order because the group was not all seated in their final seats and it was too hard for her to remember we had to convince the waitress to take our order... In addition, she forgot to give the order to about 5 of our group who got their plates 15 minutes after everyone else had finished eating. I asked to see someone for my cold poutine with pickle water, I never saw anyone. It was probably my 15/20th visit to the restaurant, its always been a good summer, but I dont think Ill go back. We were a good group and half of them were also very disappointed....

Truly the best restaurant in the area in my opinion!! The staff is dynamic and it shows that they love what they do. The food is just delicious and the variety of tapas makes this place unique.

Only complains about his customers on Social Networks and encourages people who have never been there to give 5 Stars. You can expose me on your Facebook page to force your customers to insult me in the end your rating will only go down That s all people will remember. Your Guillaume Lemay Thivierge-style marketing will do you no good. One day you should think about stopping insulting your customers.

The owner/manager shouts on social networks against the customers and treats them like a lot of business when his service and his probable management must be worse than the bad customers. These people have no idea that without customers, their little restaurant cannot exist...

Really pleasant atmosphere and we didnt found the music so strong if I read some of the comments. Quite a discovery for us! To return for sure! When there is something positive in life, you have to say it!

For a restaurant-bar, the noise level is ridiculously high, which means everyone is shouting over each other in a more or less useful cacophony (there is no dance floor that I saw ?). That said, the food is excellent to the point where we will come back despite everything. We were four people and among the 7-8 starters and dishes ordered, no major disappointments and several nice surprises! Try the nachos el cerdo, the beer pogos and the Gaspard burger: out of this world! Also the fried squid was cooked to perfection and generous in squid (not like some places where there is only breading). 9/10, could live with 20 decibels less.

An excellent place for a 5 to 7! I recommend it. The atmosphere is great and the beer is still good. A place where fun is guaranteed. On the other hand, although in general the food and service was very good, there were times when this was not the case. For the same dish from one evening to the next the quality varies. Its a bit the same thing for the service, sometimes its fast and courteous and other times less so. Its uneven.

Horrible place, blatant lack of empathy and excessively classist (prejudices and different treatment depending on social classes). Instead of trying to resolve their problems in a committed and mature manner, they prefer to ridicule needy and vulnerable people in the eyes of more privileged people. Dont waste time encouraging them!

Excellent meal! Great atmosphere! Big downside in terms of service though... 1 hour before the starters (with error on the order) almost 2 hours before the meals but it was worth the wait though . It s the start of the season, they will be able to improve these points, I m sure! Keep Up The Good Work

December 22, 2023

I was really disappointed with my experience, even though the food was good. The evening I went to dinner, the fryer had been broken for several days, but no one had warned me, even though I had a reservation. When I showed up at the restaurant, the waiter also didnt warn me that the fryer was broken and that half of the menu was therefore unavailable. I waited 45 minutes before the waiter finally came to take my order and it was only then that I found out about the fryer! As I had a show in the evening, it was too late for me to change restaurants.

★★
December 22, 2021

Good food, the flavors were there (beef burger with meat a little dry on the other hand). Clean and welcoming place. On the other hand, disappointment in the infrequency with which the service came to see the tables. We waited a long time before receiving the menus (in fact they no longer give them, we had to look on the Internet but we were not told) and also disappointed because no one came to see us to find out if we wanted more drinks, drinks, dessert or other. We would have spent a lot more. I even went directly to the bar to ask for a drink after 1 hour without a visit from our waitress. It seemed overloaded elsewhere and yet we were a group (so potentially very expensive). Last call, we didnt hear it and yet we started shooting. The other waitress told us they had to flash the lights to warn. But outside on the terrace we saw nothing and no one had informed us of this code. Too bad for them, we went to spend elsewhere.
