| - Really unfortunate circumstance where great food was overshadowed by absolutely abysmal service and poor communication. My girlfriend took me to this well-reviewed authentic French restaurant (God bless you babe, you were a wonderful date!), and I was really looking forward to good ol' Quebecan food. We had ordered the cheese platter as appetizer and shared both the salmon tartare and the duck confit with scalloped potatoes. The cheese platter was decent (albeit a little small) and the salmon tartare was well plated and fresh.
Unfortunately, that was when the night took a turn for the worst. When the server brought me my dish, it was a completely different dish than I had ordered [tuna salad]. I politely waited as he scrambled to get the correct dish. By the time he brought the dish, it was a pulled pork dish over salad, also not what I had ordered. By this time, I had waited over 20 minutes while my girlfriend's dish had become cold and the sweet potato fries soggy. Finally, after 30 minutes of waiting, I finally received the correct dish, and it was amazing! But still had a bitter aftertaste from half an hour of waiting and no real apologizes from the staff.
At the end of the dinner, we were not given a real explanation on why my meal was inaccurately delivered 3 times in a roll. And worst of all, they still charged me for the dish [although they took $2 off the price] and had the courage to ask for a 15% tip. If it weren't for my girlfriend politely asking me to stay calm, I would have ranted out loud for the horrible service.
The food may have been good, but the service was so atrocious that I will NEVER come back.
ps: We weren't the only people who got the wrong orders; there were at least 2 other families that ate there that night who also got the wrong plates.
Food: 3 stars
Price: 3 stars
Service: unmentionable.
