I like how they have the cocktail backstory and describe the flavors. The reason for three stars is really the service... Our server took forever to come take our order, then came back 7-8 minutes later and asked us what we ordered, which means it didn't even go into the system yet. Then we see others who arrived after us who were given waters, and bar snacks of chips and mixed snacks... We had to ask for those, and he only brought the mixed snacks, not chips. We ordered the hummus, but he never brought it, and by that time we were over it so we didn't bring it up.

You make a separate reservation and then enter through a black door and green curtain. Service is phenomenal. The bartenders and weight staff, as well as manager, all greet and serve you. They are extremely knowledgeable, and I love their forward thinking. They only use local ingredients for their drinks. If it doesn't grow in Canada or Quebec, they do not use it. So they do not use things like citrus. Instead, they come up with other ways to bring the flavor into their cocktails and food. And definitely try some food! We went for the drinks, but the food blew our minds. We got some mixed tapa plates and loved it all- especially the homemade beef jerky. The back patio is so nice during the summer. And the inside is a definite vibe. Can't wait to go back!

That means, no basic ingredients like citrus are used. That's basically telling the bartender they cannot make 99% of cocktails in mind and have to take risks to make something tasty happen. That concept in itself is a recipe to create things that will be genuinely and authentically Canadian. In other words, experimentation at its finest. Opened in 2024 by the team behind Quebec City's only 2 Michelin starred restaurant, Taniere, this is now the spot to be for those in the know. So, how is trial and error going of crafting something genuinely Canadian? Cocktails are superb on both taste and presentation. The food is remarkably plated with extremely high quality ingredients. Everything tastes excellent. If that's not enough, the entire interior looks like a very private club and the team of servers and bartenders is superb and welcoming.

One lady in lower town took special delight in telling me "sorry, we're all full tonight", while I stood there with numb fingers and a raw red face where hail hit my face moments before. I passed Alphonse many times the last few days but tonight, instead of just passing through, i stopped in to look inside as another customer held open the door waiting for me to enter as he exited. So naturally, I went in. I was afraid they were about to close, but the hostess was welcoming and with a warm smile, showed us to our seats. The food was so good! We ordered the French Onion soup. My kids loved that the bread in the soup was still crunchy and not soggy. The baked Brie was a delicious start of what is to come next. My entree was the low temperature salmon. It was the chef's special (they call it inspiration of the chef). It was a salmon dish that is lukewarm. The salmon was so tender, it melted like butter in my mouth. It was a decent portion too. We got dessert to share- crème brûlée- also good! Ambience is smart casual.

The scallops were cooked perfectly and the risotto had such a great flavor, so creamy. My dad got the burger, which was actually sliced beef brisket but he said the flavors were great and the meat was tender.

I had high expectations food wise, regardless of the slow service. The pizza was okay, I have had way better. The spag pollo lacked so much flavor! I thought it would be so flavorful because of the herbs but nope! The arrabiata pasta lacked flavor as well. Overall, I had high expectations considering the reviews I read were positive. But huge disappointment and waste of time/ money/ and still leaving hungry! We did tip but the waitress didn't deserve a tip. She wasn't even the one who brought the food over!
