I finally scored a dinner reservation for Saturday night and overall, I had a good time. I tried the carmelized onion soup, tourtiere, steak main, brussel sprouts, and something for dessert that I can't remember. The setting was nice, as we had seating upstairs overlooking the floor below. It was dark, a bit rustic, and minimalist. I like ambience because they don't try too hard. The service was great and I enjoyed the carefully selected beer selection that had some excellent European and Quebec options. \n\nThe food was well prepared and presented nicely. They don't over season their mains and have a very eclectic menu that should have something for everyone, including vegetarian options. My only complaint was the cut of steak I had. It was the shoulder or something and it was a little bit overdone and tougher than I would prefer, but the b\u00E9arnaise sauce and mushrooms were nice. The tourtiere was great and the soup reminded me of a classic French onion, and also tasty. They apparently bake all their bread fresh in house as well, but I found the bread the same as anywhere else. \n\nLike others, I did find the menu a bit pricey so I can't really say I was blown away for the price. This is common problem I have with many places as I like to account for value-to-price in my rating. But it was still a solid dining experience. Quality food with good portion sizes in a nice setting. I could go back one day, especially to try that gnocci."^^ . . .
