Malheureusement, le menu internet annoncé est complètement faux . Je vous suggère de téléphoner et questionner le menu du moment. Si vous ne vous présentez pas, vous aurez une charge de $40.00 . Soyez vigilant!

S’il faut se gâter parfois, c’est une excellente place. Mon appréciation vient aussi du fait que j’avais une attente envers le nom du restaurant qui contient « boréal »! Mon plat principal contenait une sauce à l’ortie et des câpres de pissenlit… Délicieux, raffiné, surprenant…

Excellent! Moi et mon conjoint avons adoré notre soirée à ce resto fort sympathique! La bouffe était excellente et le service était parfait. On s’attendait pas à un tel resto dans une si petite ville. Je le conseille aux épicuriens comme nous.

J'ai trouvé l'endroit très jolie. Le décor et l'ambiance y sont bien.

Parfait. Prix, goût et service, tout y est! Je conseil les tacos de morue.

Delicious food, very creative, loved the carrots especially. Unfortunately they'd run out of pork fillet so we were left a choice of either lobster or a beef tenderloin for two, neither of which we fancied. The steamed potatoes with white truffle and dandelion and capers were great and original too. Overall I loved it.

I hyped myself up for this place because I read the reviews about how it’s a great place for special occasions with an amazing fine dining experience (some even say it’s Michelin star worthy). I tried so hard to like this place but the aftertaste here is worse than the scallops they served me. Even a month later I am writing this review just to warn others about how bad it truly is.

If you’re coming from a big city, this place is not even close to what you could get from a Michelin guide restaurant. And the staff is hilariously undertrained. Go here if you want an overpriced meal while children scream downstairs and the waiter asks what you need and then dismisses your request to bring the side dish you ordered. They charge fine dining prices and make unique dishes but their seafood quality is extremely lacking while their steaks are sous vide to mush. Enjoy your special occasion here because I’ll never forget how bad it was.

After reading the reviews, we had high hopes for this place as a special meal out during our mini break in Bonavista. The beef tartare, steamed carrot buns,steak, and grilled cabbage wedge were delicious with wonderful flavors and textures. Sadly, though, the crab and lobster dishes were disappointing. The crab was rather bland, and the lobster's rich flavour was lost, buried under a spicy, too strongly flavored sauce. While we enjoyed our time here overall, it was a bit disappointing that it was the seafood that wasn't quite up to par.
