   Bistro Le SAM was amazing - the ambience, the food and the service! We arrived early for our reservation, and even though they were extremely busy, they were able to get us a table early. Our waiter was very helpful, witty and very attentive. We enjoyed the cheeseboard, French onion soup, Caesar salad to start. Our main dishes were amazing also. We were celebrating our 29th anniversary and they surprised us with dinner and two flutes of champagne. Overall, a wonderful experience & would highly recommend.

   Beautiful restaurant, window table was spectacular. My meal was s bit dry, however still quite lovely. I thought it was quite pricey especially the cocktails. However Staff were exceptional.

   We had a very enjoyable dining experience. We were sat at a table near the window for a lovely water view. Our server was very attentive and professional. The food was amazing! My husband had the steak that was cooked to perfection. Our daughter had the seafood casserole with a nice variety of seafood. The ravioli was so good! I had the pork chop that was a very generous size, I could not finish it. It was the perfect meal for our last night in Quebec City.

   Beautiful atmosphere with some tables having incredible views. The food was good, and although our waitress was warm and friendly, she was not very available or attentive.
