Review from Ethan L.

Really stumped a bit at dining options while visiting Quebec City. Montreal this is not, lots of bistro places, the old area screams of places that might be over priced tourist traps. I broke down and got a recommendation from someone to come here for dinner, and the four of us made a visit.
A very nice charming somewhat dark interior, with plenty of seating, but sectioned off areas that give the impression of some privacy. Walls are adorned with rustic items, we were near a table of 4 large muskets. It felt inviting, old and cozy.
Menu focuses on grilled meats, but there is lots of seafood on the menu. Heck as you walk in you pass a lobster tank, plus there is fish and shrimp scallops also available.
Wine selection great, beer selection very minimal, but HEY 20oz PINTS! Dam those are big. Our service was a very charming and helpful waitress, who balanced leaving us alone and providing us things when we needed them promptly.
Grilled asparagus is cooked nicely hot, and smoked and charred with wonderful flavor. New Orleans grilled shrimp consits of only about 3-4 very large shrimp with a nice salsa on the bottom of a cocktail glass, my friend remarked she rather enjoyed it so I believe her. But the true winner of an appetizer (entre) here is the lobster bisque.
Served in a square bowl with one of the biggest dollops of cream on top, it is rich and incredibly light bodied but full of flavor. My other friend remarked about that this had to be stewing for hours and was full of shells in its making. Spiked with cognac, and light and a hint of creamy texture with the very light cream, he flat out said it was the best lobster bisque in any place he's ever had.
Main items of halibut and spring rolls are an interesting combination. The rolls on the bottom which made me think they'd get a bit soggy, but turned out fine, with a real unique stuffing. The fish was devoured in five seconds before I could have any by my friend, but noticed it has a wonderful crust and white glistening tempting fleshy body. I went for a simple rib steak (the meat is corn fed), and it was cooked perfectly to my request (medium rare) with a thin size but spreading out its 14oz acreage all over my plate. Best steak ever? no, but certainly enjoyable with peppercorn on my side. I also ordered a side of the truffle mushrooms which are just nicely oiled and richly delicious, I could barely finish them.
Revisiting the menu I could see plenty of things on here I would love to try again someday. Without question I would come back here again for dinner if I had the opportunity. -

We arrived on a slow night with a family of 8. We had no idea that they staff the restaurant based on reservations, but for whatever reason they were short staffed. Still they took us in with a smile.
Dinner took over two and a half hours, including an hour wait for our food. But the wait was worth it. I had the Foie Gras and it was excellent. Everyone else had something that was generally excellent also. The ribs were very good, though not to the taste of my kids who prefer a less fruity sauce. I think the best dish was the cajun shrimp that my brother in law ordered. Perfectly spicy, with just right amount of salt and pepper.
The bill was expensive, but I must say this was out best meal in our visit to Quebec. Maybe next time we'll get further out of Old Quebec and get some more local flavor but this was good. -

Took my wife out for a nice dinner while on vacation. We arrived early to an empty restaurant, which was fine as it soon began to fill up.
Ambience and design of the restaurant were nice. Service was superbe, our waitress was both pleasant and knowledgeable.
Food was pretty good, but honestly, could have been better for the price. I had a lobster, which was dry and overcooked...how you steam a lobster all the way to "dry" is beyond me. Perhaps it sat under warming lights for too long? I also had a side of asparagus which was overwhelmed by lemon. My wife had a steak, which she enjoyed.
I was offered a replacement lobster when the waitress checked back with us, but by that time I was almost done and a second lobster would have been gluttonous. I was not offered or given any reduction of the bill, which is what I would have preferred.
Overall, I got the sense that this was a restaurant with a lot of potential, but was being held back by the kitchen. -

This restaurant is in cahoots with Hotel Acadia, where I stayed in Quebéc City, breakfast is here.
They have great service, an attractive interior, and delicious muffins. The breakfast buffet looked average and unimpressive although I must admit I didn't taste.
I had yogurt, a muffin, fruit, and coffee for $4 which I thought was a pretty decent deal. -

Overall not bad. My wife had an onion soup and a filet Mignon. The soup was OK - had better - the filet was excellent - done as ordered. I had the halibut which came with spring rolls. The fish was excellent, moist and cooked to perfection. The spring rolls - I have no idea why spring rolls came with this - were terrible...mushy, overcooked and totally tasteless. Oh yeah, the Martinis were OK but nothing to write home about
