When you enter the hotel - you have to head downstairs - where the restaurant is located. On the ground floor, there is a beautiful Scottish cozy waiting room and then the check in counter. In the restaurant, tables are spacious which is felt safe. The ambiance is very comfortable. The service was decent - very friendly. I ordered the duck pate and the halibut, both of which were amazingly done. Will definitely return to stay on site!

Nice place. Beautiful location with a terrace looking over the lake…read more The food is beautifully presented and it is good. Why not 5 stars? We were seated in a room behind the main terrace, with only 4 tables in this section. It felt isolated and left out. The iron chairs were not as comfortable and the atmosphere was not the same. Also, we waited for an hour to receive our main course. Our steaks were tasty, but overcooked (we asked for medium rare and medium and both got medium well). At this point we were hungry and did not want to return the dishes and wait again. The dinner was, in my opinion, overpriced. $60 for overcooked, hardly 5 oz filet mignon that arrived an hour after ordering, takes one star away. The staff was very polite.

Go early if you want the prime rib. Servers make every attempt to be bilingual. Very friendly. Full bar but they cannot do anything that is not on the cocktail menu. Food is fantastic and packed on weekends so make reservations. Ambiance is great and has a mixed cowboy and biker bar feel. Live music on stage occasionally. Do go. Tip well since the staff are local from St Agapit and St Apollinaire

The ladies highly recommend so here I am. Ample parking and easy to read signage from the road, they are handicapped accessible. We sat at the bar with our backs to the door. Atmosphere is rustic with two seating areas, one for larger parties. Drink specials menu came with regular menu and specials. I ordered the House Margarita with Blueberry. The ladies had seltzer and a beer. We ordered the Smash burger, the Roast Beef melt, and the Ramen. There was a chalk board hanging on the wall which had the meat and fish options for sale! So they do sell meats and fish but are more of a restaurant! Got it! The food came out in a timely fashion and looked great! The Ramen especially looked delightful! My Roast Beef melt was good. A bit greasy but that's to be expected with melts, cucumber salad was delicious, the fries were crispy and tasty. Smash burger was Huge and very delicious or so I was told. Bartender was wonderful making sure we had what we needed as well as providing drinks for the wait staff. Everyone was having a nice meal on a rainy Saturday in September. I definitely will be back with my husband when we drive over from Rangeley. May even grab some Game sausages.

We were seated on the patio and our very sweet server was right out to take our drink order. Since we are eating Poutine all over Canada in search of our favorite. We so enjoyed sitting on the patio, it was a beautiful day, we were people watching and enjoying the umbrellas place up the alley. Our poutine was delivered to the table and I can honestly say it was our favorite. The fries were crunch and creamy on the inside. The gravy was rich and had a deep flavor and the cheese curds had lightly melted. Every bite was perfect. The eatery and bar are tucked into a stone house that dates back to 1668, if only the walls could talk. The bar and restaurant feature local Quebec cuisine and is a gem. The service was excellent as was the atmosphere.

But to sum it up, you are best going with a group as it is share plates and you have a menu based on the local season and ingredients, and ultimately whatever is inspired by the chef.

It was some of the freshest food I've tasted and bringing out so much taste out of some ingredients that in other contexts ban be a bit simple.
