    We visited Café Lunette for brunch as a party of three. The atmosphere is charming, and both the food and drinks were enjoyable in terms of taste. However, the temperature of the food was not ideal—it was served cooler than expected for hot dishes. Unfortunately, the service left much to be desired. It was quite slow, and our server was not attentive. He did not check in with us during the meal, and we eventually had to ask another staff member to help locate him so we could request our bills. There were multiple errors on the bills, which had to be reprinted three times. By the time we were finally able to pay, we were feeling frustrated. The manager did come by to apologize and offered us a complimentary dessert or coffee, which we appreciated. However, after two hours, with our meal long finished and the bill already paid, the gesture felt a bit too late. Overall, while the food and ambiance were nice, the service experience made it unlikely that we would return.

    I’ve been to most of the restaurants at the Queen’s Marque now and loved basically all of them except for this one. We went for the dinner service and the service and ambiance were great! The food really not so much. We had the French onion soup which was mostly croutons and cheese, you actually had to search for onions. The broth was good, but it was very much overwhelmed by all the croutons and cheese. I love cheese and that was too much cheese for me. We shared the scallop crudo and it wasn’t great flavour or texture wise. It was a struggle for us to finish it. I had the steak tartare and all I could taste in it was Dijon mustard and my mom had the coquille St Jacques, which was alright but we’ve both had better at Agricola St Brasserie, which isn’t a French restaurant. I can definitely see that they’re trying to do interesting things, but I don’t feel like they’re quite there yet.
