Great evening on the patio! Ordered a range of dishes, and the bison tartare and charcuterie/cheese platter were particularly outstanding. Red and sparkling wine "flights" were a great way to accompany the meal.

Touche personnalisée de la part de Mme Rivest qui est venue nous jaser quelques instants. Bouffe et vin variés et de qualité. En tout une très belle soirée à recommander et à refaire. Merci à tous ox

Unfortunately service was lacking. We had 4 different servers. One of them dropped utensils and knocked my friend with a dirty dish. It was my birthday (and clearly noted in the reservation) yet no staff acknowledged it. They seated us 10 minutes after our reservation. Was quite deceiving to be honest, as I truly admire and respect Mme Rivest.
