| - My mother wanted a fancier place to celebrate her birthday, and her being French, she wanted a taste of the Motherland, in other words, lots of meat!!
The place was deserted when we went (earlier this year) and we chose our seats. Now maybe they size them for the europeans, but we felt quite cramped! The decor is lovely, I love the slightly antiqued feel and the massive Old-Port stones. The menu is a nightmare for vegetarians, you've all been warned! They specialized in finer, rarer (more expensive) meat, generally game: dear, boar, moose, geese and the like. I remember ordering sausages and not being terribly impressed. My parents were delighted with their choices tough.
I find the portions inversely proportional to the price, which is a crying shame.
The real highlight if the meal was the desert: I was almost ordered by my parents to take a creme brulée (which I don't usually care for). Now this is the real deal: so rich, so creamy and flavorful..
Just a note on the service: I am by no means a child, but I felt rather ignored by our waiter. They probably have an eye for the customer with the wallet..
