Worst restaurant experience we’ve had. From the seating to taking our order, the service was cold and unwelcoming. An older waiter kept staring at our kids while they were eating bread, which made us very uncomfortable. As non-white customers, the attitude felt discriminatory throughout the entire experience. We lost our appetite, paid for two bottles of sparkling water, and left. Very disappointing for such a well-known restaurant.

This is a special spot on the West Island of Montreal. We recently took 12 guests who had expressed the desire for local Quebec cuisine. They were not disappointed! The attention to the little details, the food was delicious, tasty with beautiful aromas. Selection of wine is ample. It’s a hidden gem and a great spot for all sorts of entertaining or a special date night. The historical house makes it even more special, you can really sense the history. During the summer of the patio is a great size with awning and flowers throughout. Summer nights make it a spot not to be missed. For those looking for a quick bite and a drink, there’s a small bar area with top shelf Spirits. Over the last 25 years we’ve always enjoyed visiting with family, bring people for business when possible and when in Montreal. It’s always a short hit, with people wanting to go back. Thank you to chef Sean and MICHAEL and Jessica for the hospitality.
Excellent service and excellent food, seated at 5 pm, my wife and I we had a wonderful dinner evening 😋
We got the tasting menu as we were a large group. The food was good and had some unique flavours. The restaurant is in a charming, historical home in Sainte-Anne. It’s perfect for the Summer.
I've been here many times for dinner. They've never let me go home hungry! - Is it considered bad manners to lick the plate?
Though not my first time here, I celebrated a milestone birthday this February. My friend and I were not disappointed. The staff, the service, the food...💯%. Started off with a nice bottle of wine. The terrine and the mushroom entrée were outstanding. My friend and I both had the shrimp and scallops. The sprouts could have been a little crunchier for our taste, but overall, delicious. To finish off, our crème brûlée topped off a fantastic meal. I will definitely come back for my next big 0
We flew in from San Diego, California for business and a mini vacation. We came to this spot for a business dinner but wound up having so much fun. The food is absolutely delicious, the atmosphere is lovely and cozy, and the staff are knowledgeable and helpful. We highly recommend this place and can't wait to come back!!
The food arrived cold and looked like it had been sitting for a while. The pasta was dry, the sauce lacked flavor, and the chicken was overcooked. For the prices charged, I expected much better quality. Presentation was sloppy, and the portion sizes were small. Extremely disappointing.
The food was perfection on a plate. At our table, there was the Elk entree, Duck, Cajun Shrimp, Crab Cakes, Gnocchi and a basic salad and Onion soup. I didn’t love the crab cakes, they tasted like tuna salad to me (makes no sense, I know!) in any case, I wouldn’t get them again.
I haven’t been here in 30 years and it was as good as the last time. It’s a cozy small stone house with a fireplace and some bright coloured paintings. We had veal scallopini with mushrooms that came with cheesy potatoes and the cod in a saffron sauce. Both were delicious. We had a wonderful profiterol for dessert. Even the coffee was super. I had a really good decaf cappuccino! So we’ll be back for sure.
