Review from Mathew K.

i thought this place was phenomenal. i was staying at the westin and got in around 9 pm. my american iphone was not working and i refused to pay $15/mb of service to yelp an open restaurant. i walked around and everything was either closed or called burger king.
so i wanted to try something different. and man oh man....this place was awesome.
so here's what i got:
roast atlantic black bass & crispy rock shrimp with roasted onion and
porcini risotto, truffle butter sauce
are you honestly going to tell me that that doesn't sound good? unless you don't like seafood, mushrooms, or good food, then yeah, i can imagine you wouldn't like this dish. nor will you like 42% of restaurants on yelp.
yes, it's a little pricey, but so are movies that everyone goes to, cars that everyone drives, houses people own, or awesome meals like this. BOOOOOM KNOWLEDGE DROPPED.
this was my first time to french canada, and this place i will always remember. -

So I had a free breakfast here and tried it out. It's a standard breakfast buffet with the usual eggs, bacon, sausages, home fries, some baked items, some fruit and some cereal.
The odd breakfast buffet can be awesome but this one was definitely not. Some of the items tasted funny and others tasted exactly like you would expect, being heated from underneath.
Breakfast buffets are a terrible standard to be reviewing a restaurant by so I apologize but can only tell you to avoid it. However if you don't want to get a crappy review for a breakfast buffet would it not make more sense to move to an a la carte menu?Listed in: 2012: 366 Day Challenge

I stayed at the hotel numerous times and this restaurant brings down this nice hotel. The food is not great.
This bar/restaurant has no ambiance; No one hangs out here and it is not a fun place to come too. -

After taking an evening stroll, I decided to stop in to Gazette for a glass of red wine (a $14 cote du rhone) and an appetizer, the Black Fin Tuna Tartare served "on top" of a crab cake.
For starters, the bartender and the hostess are quite welcoming and courteous. The bar/restaurant is gorgeous and clean and the decor of the walnut wood floors and beige interior match quite well with the cranberry red bar chairs which were very comfortable.
I received my black fin tuna tartare which I noticed was NOT on top of the crab cake. Why describe it as so? The crab cake wasn't made fresh, it was very thick inside and didn't show any characteristics of crabby meat goodness that a good crab cake should. In fact, in my books, no more than 30-33% of the crab cake should be bread crumbs / filling of non-crabby goodness...most of the crab cake, 70%+ should be crab meat and that's what I'd consider a REAL crab cake. This crab cake was obviously 50-60% bread crumbs at a minimum...
The orange mustard dipping sauce on the plate was beautifully presented however lacked flavor. The mixed greens in the middle of the plate were, well, mixed greens.
Next time I'll walk out of the hotel and try something else.
save your money and go somewhere else -

We were staying at this hotel (Westin) and decided to eat here since it was raining out and what an expensive mistake! First, the waiter only offered sparkling or non-sparkling water ($$), which we declined, then asked if we wanted something from the bar, which we also declined since we had just sat down and didn't have a chance to look at the choices they had for beverages (I'm a non-drinker). Once we said just regular water for now, the waiter said, well 2 strikes then, which made us feel like cheapskates. The food was mediocre at best. I had duck confit, while my husband had roasted pork & pork belly. The only item that we really enjoyed was the lobster bisque. It was deep rich brown in color (which is different than what I'm used to), but full of lobster flavor. The only other restaurant that had served it this way was the restaurant in the Sofitel hotel in NY city. Oh, the waiter talked my husband into a $50 bottle of wine saying that it was a step up from what my husband had selected. If my husband's original choice was bad, why did they even offer it on the menu?? Obviously, the waiter was very interested in pushing our bill up. They do have a children's menu, but the waiter charged us the adult price for a small glass of milk ($4) instead of the children's price ($2.50). Oh, and their fruit salad on their children's menu was really good and a decent portion at $3.
