| - I absolutely loved this place! Easily my favorite restaurant in my trip so far. And since is my last dinner in Canada, the best dinner of the
Unfortunetaly we came too early for the live jazz (which starts at 7:30) but they were still playing recorded jazz over there speakers, and that definitely set a great mood.
First the service. I've noticed that in Quebec there is a certain snootiness. Maybe they are trying too hard to imitate the French, even in their negative traits, but it definitely exists. But not here. The waiter was super friendly, very fast and really helped the night flow smoothly.
As an appetizer we go the brie baked in something, then with some nuts, some sauce and some pears. Ok, i'm not describing it well at all, but it was awesome!
For the main course I got the Greek-style lamb. It came with some vegetables, including this beat puree, and freshly made potato chips. The lamb was absolutely delicious. I tried a different lamb dish, that also was delicious. If you come here, get the lamb.
For dessert we tried the creme brulee. I completely agree with Leighann F. This was not the best creme brulee I've had. Not even in the top twenty. The sugar was too thick and the creme was too clumpy. I'm told that means they cooked it for too long. The taste was fine, but the texture was just off.
However, I also got the blueberry tea, which it turns out doesn't have any blueberries in it, but is made of Grand Marnier, Amaretto and hot Orange pekoe tea. It gets its name because it smells and even tastes amazingly like blueberries. Definitely something I'm going to ask for in the future!
Overall, amazing experience. Good for a date or a nice evening out.
