A mixed bag of reviews for this Old Montreal restaurant. Some found the food disappointing and the service lacking, labeling it a tourist trap to avoid. Others enjoyed the atmosphere, attentive wait staff, and generous portions of delicious food. Standouts included the lobster roll with a unique twist and the mouth-watering carrot cake. With a prime location on Place Jaques Cartier, it's a great spot for people-watching and soaking up the lively ambiance. Overall, opinions on this restaurant seem to vary depending on individual experiences, making it a hit or miss dining option for visitors and locals alike.
