Hello, this restaurant has very poor service. The waitresses are really rude. They do everything to make customers uncomfortable. My plate was literally thrown at me.I strongly advise against…

Bon resto, bonne bouffe, bon service. Bémol très très bruyant. Malheureusement je ne crois pas y retourner pour cette raison. La musique est tellement forte que nous devions pratiquement crier pour s'entendre. Si vous cherchez une place avec beaucoup d'ambiance (style party) et bonne bouffe, c'est pour vous! Perso, moins dans mes cordes.

Good service despite the clearly obligatory outfit (just for the ladies, the men seem to have the right to pants, including the manager who restyled the customers making them uncomfortable by having difficulty pulling his own up) frankly non-functional and moved waitresses. The barely-to-the-point leatherette skirt, we would have done without it and I'm glad I didn't bring children because I would have had a hard time justifying the whole thing, especially in 2024. The poor discreetly pulled up their “uniform” as soon as their hands became free. Unacceptable and shameful. Never here again, even though the waitress was nice and the steak was tasty. The lack of ethics of the management and the awkward manager were enough to take away our appetite.Kid-friendliness: IN NO WAY.

Great experience like always. A bit tight as there is a LOT of table, and some with chairs that barely fit but once packed it is a great ambiance!Parking: Some don’t know how to park which made it somewhat a clusterf. But plenty of parkingKid-friendliness: Kids meal available with drawings. Kids had plenty of fun drawing and playing the labyrinth and words games.Wheelchair accessibility: Accessible restroom on first floor.

I was there for the first time this evening. I'm a little disappointed. Service was very slow. My New York steak I asked for medium cooking and it was blue. Overcooked vegetables. Fries too. I'm glad I tried but I don't think I'll go back. Positive point the waitress was nice and she did her best.

We went there around 2pm on a Friday so it wasn’t busy at all and the service was fast and reasonable but again it could be because they weren’t busy. The interior space is really nice, however when you look up the lighting looks a bit moldy which isn’t nice to look at but I guess just don’t look up lol. But the main meals were so delicious. We got the fajitas and the steak medium rare with peppercorn sauce and they were both 10/10. The steak was even 11/10 perfect medium rare the spices were paired beautifully and the Sauce topped it off so well even getting the sauce with the fajitas tasted delish. We got the creme brûlée for dessert and it was over cooked and burnt at the top, I wish it could’ve gotten remade but the server just took it off our bill which works too I guess. We also got a bottle of wine, Pinot Grigio..nothing crazy it’s Pinot Grigio. But overall really good, would recommend and will go again.

We went to take advantage of the “Raw Wednesday 2 for 1” promotion. As part of this promotion, dishes like tartares and carpaccios are 2 servings for the price of one.My friend and I enjoyed a beef tartare and a salmon tartare. All accompanied by an excellent wine from their exclusive selection.The dishes were refined, slightly spicy, absolutely delicious. The service was discreet, respectful. Tipping made me happy.A great “habit” to get into!

I was disappointed the last two times I have eaten here. Poor quality veggies with my underdone steak. This time, I got chicken fajitas, and the tortillas were so tiny you couldn't wrap them. Service was less than adequate. Restaurants want more money for less quality. Hope it changes soon.
