My wife and I are vacationing in Quebec and had our 45th Anniversary dinner here. Was delicious, a fine dining experience.

Nice spot to eat if the food was cooked by someone with working arms. Steak was cooked completely wrong from what was asked, and the muscles tasted awful. Do not recommend.

The meal was very good. Pasta and Steak frites were very hot and very good. Nice size portions and nice atmosphere. Service was relaxed. Come for a relaxing dinner, not when you are in a hurry. Recommended for couples, adult groups. Merci Beaucoup!

Main meals were very good. But had to beg other servers for bread I was really surprised I was charged extra for additional sauce for my 38$ sirloin steak. What is next? Will I be charged for extra ketchup?

Excellent Staff + Service, unfortunately mussels were horrible, gritty and smelled like feet.  The strange odor from the mussels is a clear indication that it's already rotting and were not cooked from fresh. Staff did not try to rectify the situation, very disappointed. 12/27/21

Disappointing... We didnt have high expectations, and in the end, it fell short of our expectations! The drinks served with a solid delay and not great, mixed service in the orders, no service during the meal... Average dishes. The burattini stands out a little from the crowd. Anyway, our first and last time here! Too bad because the hotel is quite good...

Impeccable service. Well done to the whole team (reception, waitress, kitchen, etc.) nothing to say, it was perfect in terms of service. The ravioli stuffed with lobsters with general toppings (shrimp + scallops) 10/10 was a delight. Dish of the day: salmon in a pistachio crust perhaps a little overcooked for my taste as well as its simplistic accompaniments but still very good. I ate it all and was satisfied.

Table on the edge of the window with a view of the river. Tasty food and excellent portion, quality and price ratio. Tomato basil cream, beetroot mousseline and goat cheese, I really enjoyed the hot roll with these 2 dishes. Tagliatelle with shredded duck and mushrooms. White cake with strawberry coulis that tasted like summer. Everything was delicious. Outstanding and discreet service. Very satisfying dining experience.

Very nice place to eat a good meal! The fish with snails and pink pasta was delicious. The tartare has a fairly pronounced orange taste, but still good. The service was great! THANKS Dietary restrictions: Lactose-free option if needed

Well located. But the building has a cold approach as well as the decoration of the restaurant where the light is a little too weak. On the other hand, we had a very good dinner, the food was excellent. Ravioli stuffed with lobster with large shrimp and scallops. Sweetbreads and sweet potato puree. The sweetbreads were just hot, a bit of a shame.

★★

I have always given 5 stars, but since the pandemic, unfortunately I see that the buffet is no longer like before the pandemic (it was really better). Really! For the price which has increased elsewhere, there is no more Roast Beef, no more whole Salmon,...there are only eggs anyway, fried foods, potatoes...no more meat, no more vegetables,.. cold mussels, and ribs...I agree with the fact that the Sunday Brunch is increased by $6 but for fried foods no. Very disappointed with the 2024 New Years Day Brunch!

Dishes prepared in advance. The salmon trio is just okay, but the accompanying croutons were refrigerated with the salmon. The croutons instead of being dry and crispy are cold and moist. The braised beef ravioli are dry on the outside and around the edges, the pasta is not thin as it should be and the stuffing provides no texture, is it really braised beef? Are we served the starter before the bottle of wine?

December 23, 2023

Degeullase, go elsewhere, the reviews dont lie, dish made in advance and bland.

Horrible. Plate of salmon straight from the fridge and assembled in advance, soft crouton. Bloody with olive cheese and proscuitto on top, prosciutto with a taste of not fresh, shrimp without flavor. The amaretto for $10 the quantity looks like a shooter. Mold not fresh, my friend ate 5, then she said because the waitress that it was fresh, that the mussels were delivered every day when clearly it was laughing at us, the mussels had been frozen and were not not good at all (in fact almost no supplier delivers every day in lower Saint-Laurent). I hadnt even had my main meal yet I wanted to leave because it was so bland. We notified the waitress who notified the maître d. They laugh in our faces, they tell us that we shouldnt know tartare and mussels. Then we were offered a free dessert to compensate, but honestly we didnt want to eat anything from this cuisine at all. Very disappointed, I have rarely eaten so badly in a restaurant, I have been a chef for 14 years and I have a sushi/tartare franchise, never go there.

December 23, 2023

We ate there with my friends thinking that it was a good idea after the beach... apart from contempt and disdain in the face of our criticism of the tasteless dishes and certainly frozen beforehand, nothing to discover, a disdainful waitress, a condescending butler and disgusting food as well as stale and overcooked mussels, tasteless, I go home with a stomach ache. Avoid at all costs!!!!

Visited last night 07-14-2023. We had the mussels and two other dishes. More than half of the mussels still had their fibrous membrane attached. I found several that were closed. And many were raw. I showed everything I had found to the waitress and asked to re-cook the mussels I had left. It took too long and I started to feel sick so we left. They were discounted from the bill but I still had indigestion for several hours after the visit.

Classic buffet without more (eggs, bacon, fruit and pancakes). Non-existent service. Be careful, when I go to eat at a lunch buffet I have two expectations: coffee to warm up and for the plates to be removed from the table. The extra is when the waitress offers us a glass of water. None of this in our case. The price on the site was inaccurate and already expensive.

Great service! Very fast! The food was very tasty, wow! Nothing could spoil dinner, always in good company its very pleasant. There was a young person who only served water throughout the restaurant, a small service that can seem insignificant sometimes, but is always much appreciated! My girlfriend didnt like her plate and they replaced it!

Simply delicious. I had a bouillabaisse, and the quantity of fish and seafood was very good, several mussels, 3 large clams, 5 giant shrimps, cod and a succulent tomato broth, the whole thing was beautifully balanced and tasty. My wife had the salmon, although a little overcooked for our taste (we had the rosé), everything was good and delicate. A few wines by the glass (3 whites, 3 reds) are good and decently made. Courteous and attentive staff, a good experience.

We did this in December 2016 and 2017 and we also plan to do it again this year in December 2018.

The food is good, but not great for the price. There is also a lack of service. For a dinner that lasted more than an hour, the waitress came a maximum of 3 times. Finally, the terrace is not heated, which could be interesting for a 4-star hotel.
