I've never been greeted by such a rude Hostess. Left immediately, enjoy the Snobish atmosphere in an otherwise friendly town.

My friend and I arrived at around 12:00 noon for lunch and waited to be seated at the terrasse. Since no one welcomed us, we seated ourselves at a table for four -- the place was not busy and there were many empty tables. Then the waitress came over and said that she couldn't give us our preferred table since there were only two of us. I pointed out that there was one customer seated at a table for four! She said that the customer arrived at 11:00 and was there for early lunch. Sure, I said and left it at that. We sat at a table for two, ordered, and ate lunch. At 12:30, I pointed out to the waitress that there were two people now seated at a table for four. "Oh, the manager said it was okay," she said. "I should have talked to the manager then," I retorted. I told her that I was just trying to point out her inconsistency. There was NO APOLOGY from the waitress, nor did any manager approach to see us. The food was good, but I did not enjoy it because of the waitress's attitude. She was inconsistent at best, and discriminating at worst. (Yes, I'm not white.)

Was there for a birthday celebration for a 94 year old neighbour, we were several age groups. From the beginning, the waitresses were not professional. They never answered our message for a change in the numbers of diners, and they said if you called we got it.We finally got a waiter, that was very nice but not professional for this type of restaurant. We all ordered finally, I had the tagliatelle with a ragu sauce, i got a fettucine meat sauce (nothing that was explained on the menu,) other people got a trio of pasta, and apart from the Penne Arrabiata, did not like the other pastas, tortellini cream sauce, and spaghetti pesto sauce. We got our appetizers, and the dishes were taken away, finally one of the original waitresses came to the table, and asked us are you waiting or something else, and we said yes the main meals, the plates were not hot, and food ordinary. They did give us a Sambucca to compensate, but still would not go back.

Beautiful place with a beautiful vue of the saint laurent river from the terrasse. The menu was very good an we had a 3 course meal including coffee. The portions were very big and the tiramisu a delight. The service was also great . Nice place to have lunch on a sunny day .

We were three for lunch recently on the advice of someone who had been a few times for dinner. The seating outside was very nice and our waiter, Sean, was very professional, friendly, but not overbearing. Actually, the other waitress also pitched in. It was nice to see staff helping each other out.We all had the veal lunch special which included a soup or salad, dessert and coffee. The lentil soup was good and made from scratch. The pasta side dish was al dente, and the grilled veggies were copious. I didn't care for the brown sauce on the veal. It need a touch of brandy,or some other added flavour, to make it more interesting.The dessert was a nice helping of tiramisiu. The coffee was very good. All in all, a reasonably priced lunch at $17.95 Other lunch special were less expensive. This resto now has a pizza oven as well. The dining-room inside looked very comfy and inviting.
