We decided to try a new restaurant in our friends neighbourhood that had GF items on their menu. We made reservations and we’re seated immediately I believe that was the only thing that was done correctly as then it was all downhill from there. Although the outdoor seating was lovely the flies were outta control and the tables were wobbly. There was a customer who walked in and tripped on her way in and only the other customers around including my party helped her out. I even said give this woman some ice. They provided us with complementary meatballs (actually everybody got them). We ordered a few entrees, such as grilled octopus, and three salads. These overpriced entrees were small and we were starved. The octopus was hard, overcooked and tasteless at a heaping $29. We ordered cannelloni, and three GF pizzas. Honestly frozen meals would have tasted better. All meals had no flavour. We waited over an hour for these entrees and when we asked the waitress, her excuse was its gf crust! The waitress was insensitive and looked annoyed when asking her when the meal was coming. When the meal finally arrived, the gf pizzas looked like McCain frozen pizzas. I am gf and this was the most disgusting gf pizza crust I’ve ever tasted. My two friends were so unimpressed that they boxed their pizzas and as I am typing this, they are preparing meals at home as they are starved. The bill was $205. What a waste of money that is all. Of course we gave no tip how could we possibly do so? I’m not sure what all the hype is because it appears that those that frequent this tasteless joint live in a box in their neighborhood as they have no idea what is out there for restaurants as they likely don’t venture out of their hood. I am happy to pay this amount for the bill if it’s the perfect service, perfect food and has attentive service but certainly not at this place hell no! What a waste of money especially in this hard times. Trust me don’t do it especially if you are...
Read moreThe terrace is lovely at this time of year, but at lunch time on a Wednesday, it was very quiet, perhaps not so much because it was the middle of the week but perhaps because of the prices. The resto was recommended for being the best pizza around. When pizza arrived, i was surprised at the small size - fit inside a 9 inch plate. I ordered the one with mushrooms (counted 4 on the pie), shrimp (maybe 5?), with leak (very small amount cut into tiny tiny pieces so of course they were like little dry flakes that had no taste. My friend had the vegetarian pizza (i’ve seen more vegetables honestly on a frozen DrOetker pizza you buy for 4,99$. We had 2 beers, which was NOT COLD, and was warm by the time we finished our 1 hour lunch. I was treating my friend for lunch for her birthday. Left there with an 80$ bill + the tip…. The only positive thing i can say is that our server was very nice and efficient. Did i order the wrong thing off their menu ? Perhaps…. But i am very sure I will not be returning as i’m pretty sure that if what we ate was 26$ for pizza… the rest of the menu must be more...
Read moreNous sommes allé Chez Fabien samedi dernier. Très bon accueil , très bon service, personnel souriant et à l écoute.J ai commandé une salade César délicieuse , et mon mari a commandé la salade de chèvre et noix.Très bonne aussi .En plat principal , pour mon mari le carré d agneau qui n avait que trois côtes ! Sans goût , fade , dur , sec , avec un splash de sauce insipide .Servi avec légumes vapeur. Bon , il y a vapeur et vapeur. J aurais plutôt écris sur le menu ,"blanchit à la vapeur ". Autrement dit , pas cuits du tout les légumes. En ce qui me concerne , J ai opté pour le veau en croûte de noix . Encore là , sans goût , mais avec un petit plus , c est- à- dire que mon veau sentait le vieux......La fameuse croûte de noix , détrempé dans un autre splash de sauce. Adieu le croustillant tant voulu ! Toujours servi avec les mêmes légumes blan... vapeur.Nous appelons la serveuse qui nous écoute poliment et qui va voir le chef , et nous explique que , oui , je peut changer mon plat mais pas celui de mon mari !!!!!! Pourquoi ??? P.c.q. il n y a aucune "garantie "que l agneau sera tendre ! Quoi ? Et l appellation contrôlé ? Et l agneau du Québec certifié ? Un simple fromage de qualité est sous appellation contrôlé ! Le jambon de Parme qui trône dans la salle du restaurant , a-t-il été contrôlé , certifié lui ?? Je l èspère pour vous , cher restaurateur , au prix que vous avez dû payer pour cette pièce - là ! Vous ne voudriez pas vous retrouver avec un jambon de mauvaise qualité ! Alors , pourquoi ne pas appliquer les mêmes règles avec vos viandes ? Àprès tout , c est pour ca qu on va au resto. Pour avoir mieux que chez -soi. Pour retourner à mes moutons , je commande un magret de canard. Erreur. Après avoir attendu , et avoir tété notre bouteille de vin , qui , soit dit en passant , diminuait dangereusement , je me retrouve avec un magret de canard , saisi , sans plus. Donc , inmangeable. Cahoutchouteux. Et oui , je suis allé en France des dizaines de fois , et me suis fait des brochettes de canards sur BBQ. Excellent. Les miennes.Donc , oui , je retournerais pour une salade César et une bière sur la...
