   My daughter was celebrating her 18th birthday. George was our server. Could not have been a better experience. From offering to take photos, to letting my daughter taste and approve of the wine , to singing Happy Birthday along with the whole patio. Amazing food, fresh, attention to gluten allergy, seamless. Thank you George for making this night so special for our family.

   As usual the food we ordered was very good. However the portions were considerably reduced, compared to previous visits. The appetizers of calamari and veal meatballs were much smaller by 50% vs previous visits. The beef carpaccio was also smaller with less meat, cheese and roquette.

   Dear Normand, Thank you for your continued support and for sharing your honest feedback. We’re pleased you enjoyed the quality of our food and service, but we regret that your experience didn’t fully meet your expectations regarding portion sizes. We take pride in delivering both exceptional quality and generous, consistent portions; so we’re disappointed to hear this wasn’t reflected during your visit. We’ve shared your feedback with our culinary team to ensure this was an isolated oversight rather than a standard change. We’d love the opportunity to make it up to you. Please reach out to me directly at lisa.k@bonterra.ca, and we’ll ensure your next visit is nothing short of outstanding. We look forward to welcoming you back soon. Best regards, Bonterra Family
