We arrived at 2:30, a family on vacation. Maybe three other parties present, not busy. We ordered a burger, pizza and a salad. Our waitress did not return after taking our order and giving one pour of water. After 30 minutes we asked another staff person about our order and we were told it would be another 10 minutes, and given a pitcher of water without ice and with a fly in it. Two cooks exited the kitchen, one ate a meal and chatted with the bartender. We waited another 30 minutes and were not served. Running low on time to get to a ticketed show (which we missed), we again asked about our meal and whether or not we should just leave. The original waitress (who never returned) had acted exasperated by my simple French (Iâm a native English speaker from the States with conversational French skills from my Canadian family). Given the wait and indifference we were shown, I had to wonder if they were refusing to serve us as Americans. I had heard that this can happen in interior Quebec but never experienced it. The bartender then said in English, âOh, you want to leave? Weâll cancel the order.â It was hard to explain to my 7 and 9 year old kids why after an hour they still didnât have...

Nous Ă©tions lĂ bas pour un souper de travail et honnĂȘtement nous avons reçu un service plus que mĂ©diocre. Nous nous sommes fait dire non pour de lâeau et avons dĂ» demander Ă un autre serveur, le temps dâattente a atteint les 30 minutes pour les premiĂšres boissons et 2h30 pour la nourriture (qui nâest pas toute arrivĂ©e en mĂȘme temps mĂȘme aprĂšs 2h30, certains nâont pu mangĂ© quâĂ 21h45 alors que nous Ă©tions lĂ Ă 18h et que les commandes ont passĂ©s vers 18h15 Ă 18h30). Ăvidement aprĂšs tout ça, notre rĂ©flexe nâĂ©tait pas de donner beaucoup de tip, donc nous avons donner un maigre 5% (en mĂȘme temps vu le service câĂ©tait dĂ©jĂ gĂ©nĂ©reux) qui sâĂ©levait Ă plus de 200$ pour tout le monde et nous nous sommes fait accoster par des serveurs qui nous menaçant en nous disant quâil fallait tipper plus parce quâils nâavaient pas de quoi vivre. Je me suis fait dire par le gars au bar quâils Ă©taient Ă 9$/heure avant impĂŽts. Jâai refusĂ© de payer plus, mais certains employĂ©s ont dĂ©cidĂ©s de les aider et ont donnĂ©s de 20% Ă 25% (certains de ceux-lĂ avait 14-15 ans et Ă©taient au salaire minimum). Je nâavais jamais vĂ©cu une telle chose et honnĂȘtement câest triste que les employĂ©s ne soient pas payĂ©s assez pour vivre au point quâils doivent PRESQUE MENACER les clients pour payer plus. Laissez moi vous dire que lâambiance Ă©tait pas mal gĂąchĂ© Ă ce moment lĂ . JâespĂšre que le gĂ©rant du « Les Tire-Bouchons » osera rĂ©pondre car je serais curieux de la dĂ©fense. Payer 9$/h dans le monde de 2023 câest loin dâĂȘtre acceptable, agissez, ANNULEZ votre rĂ©servation et ne vivez pas cela, câest le temps que les gĂ©rants arrĂȘtent DâEXPLOITER les gens avec des payent comme ça. Si la direction de « Les Tire-Bouchons » ne rĂ©pondent pas Ă ce commentaire, ça lâajoute Ă mon avis un autre Ă©lĂ©ment dans le mauvais traitement...
   Read moreWe ended our spontaneous trip to Sorel-Tracy with dinner at Les Tire-Bouchons Resto, and it was a great choice! The location is lovely, with a terrace facing the park and a cozy interior. The restaurant wasnât crowded, which made for a very relaxing atmosphere. The house white wine was a pleasant surprise, and the selection of wine and beer is more than enough. The food was delicious â we had salmon, and steak with shrimp â all perfectly cooked. Service was excellent too: polite, smiling,...
