Extremely pricy. Food very tasty, service is great, at the end of the day, I can’t fathom who came up with the price list. 20 something dollars for 75 cents of string beans is absurd. Portions are not big at all. I won’t return at those rates.

Arrived, from Quebec City found Garde Manger, a bit difficult to find but amazing food and service. Great bartender, you are allowed to mix up the appetizers which allows for nice variety. Lots of wine choices, nice local beers. The fresh Quebec mushrooms, were unbelievable. For desert the rhubarb tart, with ice cream will bring you back again.

One of the best gastronomic experiences we have ever had. The food is certainly pricy, but the quality, freshness, and diversity of the ingredients make it absolutely worth it. Fastastic service too. 10/10 would recommend!

This evening was above and beyond in all aspects. Our third dinner here over the years and still does not disappoint. The flavours knocked it out of the park! And Norris (sp) our bartender and David who seems to cover a lot of bases (and awesome music director) as well as the floating butterflies of staff that seamlessly served our courses and wiped away trays while we never noticed them intruding made the whole celebration for us memorable 👏🏻

I will go out on a limb and say this was the best meal we have ever indulged. We did the chefs course and loved every bite. Wow. Thoughtful flavors in each course. Pricey but as I say. Perhaps the best meal I have ever enjoyed.
