    Really loved it - didn't stay at the Frontenac but this gave us a nice window into the experience. We went for lunch and sat in the 'alcove' area. Really nice spot overlooking the river. We stayed for quite a while as it was so cosy while the first snow fell outside. Our waitress was outstanding; all of the service was friendly, fast, and very helpful. The food was also really excellent. I got the seafood cake and a side of poutine. Both were really tasty - especially liked that the gravy on the poutine wasn't overly salty. My wife and daughter both had the French onion soup and really liked it. Also had a nice Boston salad on the side. The highlight was likely the dessert - a lemongrass creme brûlée. Absolutely delicious. It was a bit pricey but good value overall. Really enjoyable experience.

    Dès notre arrivée, nous avons été accueilli chaleureusement par un personnel attentionné, souriant et professionnel. Notre serveur fut exceptionnel. Je peux affirmer sans exagération que ce fut une expérience gastronomique décadente.

    Our first experience at the Bistro Sam was 5 stars. We were a group of 6 people and we all enjoyed our meals. The service was amazing from the moment we sat down. We will definitely be back.
