Didn’t like the poutine, but we were curious as poutine gets a lot of buzz. The waiter tried to warn us that we might not like it. Waiter was very sweet. Unfortunately, as we were finishing up, the owner or manager came to each table to tell us they were closing this site next week!

In times past, we would have the glass topped off without asking and often. Yesterday we had to ask each time we wanted more and it seemed like the staff were not interested in serving the mimosas. “Bottomless” definitely was not an accurate description of what we paid for. We barely had consumed enough for it to be worth what we spent. Our server took a long time to get to our table and checked in once other than dropping off the bill. The food is always great, so we were happy at least that stayed consistent.
