| - Sugar shack season is a time I look forward to every year and "a la feuille d'erable" really ruined it for me this year.
It started off well as the place is welcoming,small (about 6-8 tables of 20)and quaint with large windows showing a view of the woods and lots of sunlight.the waiter,who was slow and forgetful,seemed nice and polite.
The food was not awful,but disapointing as it was very commercial,had a poor variety,and everything seemed watered down and bland.
The worse and most important part why I would warn everyone NOT TO GO THERE is the management.Upon reservation,I was never warned that I only had a 90min meal time for my group of 20pple.Upon arrival,because we were missing a few people (who were lost and arrived 15min late),they would not sit us down and told us we would only have75 min to eat.About 5 minutes after the desserts finally arrived and we barely had time to eat any of it,the manager barged to our table and yelled out that we had to leave immediately as our time was up.We were NEVER given a warning during the dinner but instead were kicked out like animals.I have more than 5 years of experience working in restaurants and have never seen a manager kick out customers this way when the time was due.We tried talking to her and expressed our shock and how insulted we were at how she approached us.Her behavior was awful,you could definitely tell that she was out of control and was not in a state to even listen to us through her screams and that other customers were waiting.Her screaming and body gestures were definitely scaring children and all the other customers.This could all have been avoided with better management.If i were warned upon reservation, if they had sped up the service this way our group would have finished eating more quickly,and if they would have given any kind of warning regarding the time frame we had left during the meal this experience would not have been ruined.Instead the management left 20 customers angry and insulted,and all theother customers who were witness to the manager's outburst scared and shocked.
PLEASE SAVE your families and friends from being disrespected and having your outing ruined by bad management.AVOID la cabane a la feuille d'erable and warn everyone who is thinking of going there.
When there are so many better choices next door in St-gregoire,do not hesitate to go elsewhere!!!
I will definitely never go back here and instead plan for cabane a sucre Charbonneau next year(my all time favorite).
