    We had a very friendly waiter, take about services with a smile, he has done it above and beyond and is a joy to see. The ambience is there, right around the bar area and we can see the bartender focusing on making his concoctions with care and love. The food is excellent especially the apple tartan with the added touch of vanilla ice cream!

    Le Crocodile by Rob Feenie is as wonderful as it was before. The food is divine, the menu has many favourites along with new items and the service is always amazing. (Merci Alexander!) My only wish is to have vegetables served with my meal. I had the tenderloin in a gorgeous peppercorn sauce. Next time maybe I need to read the menu better to see if we should have ordered sides. It came with pommes frites but I wishes it had some vegetables. I also enjoyed the mushroom soup to start and my husband had the endive salad which looked impressive and the special Beef Wellington served with asparagus. For dessert we had profiteroles with generous chocolate sauce. 5 star experience! Merci beaucoup

    Food was great but we waited a long time for it and when it arrived they had forgotten one ingredient, they brought separately, I only notice because in the photo the ingredient was on top, they were nice and quick on bringing it once I asked but I've never had to remind anyone for a missing ingredient after such a long waiting specially for the prices they have.
