    The young waitress that we had did not no have any personality for 50 plus women. She was all about the men coming in and then she was helpful. The food was good and I tried this place the next day when it wasn’t as busy and service was excellent.

    Chez Francois was a lovely dining experience. The service was top notch and the food was a welcoming experience. This was my wife’s and I first restaurant we stopped at in Canada and I’m so glad we did. The location was easy to find and the menu had a little bit of everything. I would highly recommend the poutine!

    Breakfast is wonderful!!!! Having to purchase your maple syrup, extra, for your blueberry pancakes, was rediculous. Yes, I ordered the pancake breakfast and SYRUP, of all things, is not included. One little shot glass of syrup, for over $2.00, was almost an insult to their customers. The only other shocker was ICED TEA is NOT REFILLED unless you want to pay over $3.00 again. I mean COME ON, it’s the cheapest beverage to make, basically water with some flavor, and you get one glass of it, ONE AND DONE. Completely up to the customer, but I reverted back to water with no ice, STILL DO NOT UNDERSTAND THAT???? Main thing to remember is you will love the food!!!, you just won’t love the extra unexpected fees. Don’t let this discourage you from going, just be ready for some unexpected expenses. Maybe they will rethink all of this with tourist season right on their heels. I think that would be a great way to keep current customers, and new ones!!!
