    I visited to celebrate my boyfriend's birthday and arrived about five minutes early for our reservation. Unfortunately, we were informed that due to traffic delays, our table would be pushed back by 45 minutes. While the delayed start was a bit disappointing, the service at the bar was excellent as we enjoyed a drink while we waited. Overall, it turned into a pleasant experience thanks to the attentive staff and great atmosphere.

    We had a exceptional birthday dinner for my daughter’s 8th bday. The view, food, ambiance, service… all remarkable and unforgettable. Our server is very knowledgeable about the history of the restaurant. He even sang a Happy Birthday song twice (French and English). Definitely a place to be for intimate and private dinner. Highly recommended
