    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.

    We had two groups of 6 for a corporate dinner. We couldn't have picked a more fabulous place to have dinner! The ambience and view were outstanding. The food was fabulous and the service was definitely top-notch! We had a relaxing, leisurely dinner and had simply the best evening. Recommend 100% when in Quebec City!

    Anyone telling you Canadians in Quebec City are snooty have never been here. The nicest people, staff and the food is amazing. We talk about Southern hospitality in the US, Quebec City has the same kindness to visitors.
