Representative review quotes

These excerpts show the review language behind the measured signal.

Google Maps Complaint quote
You should check how dirty the food preparation station and counter are, the plastic containers, etc...

Review rating: 1.0

Google Maps Praise quote
They use a wood fire oven and that gives the pie a crispy and delicious undercarriage and crust.The place was spotless and one of the cleanest restaurants I’ve been to.If you live or going to Montreal stop by you won’t regret it.

Review rating: 5.0

Tripadvisor Complaint quote
The cuisine aims to be sophisticated, but there are far too many errors for me: the sparkling water was flat, the veal kidney was poorly cleaned with remnants of the kidney (thus hard bits in the meat), and the profiteroles were unworthy, with a puff pastry that can be described as inedible.

Review rating: 2.0

Tripadvisor Praise quote
Next you will notice no smell, none, and it is spotlessly clean.
