    A fantastic jazzy experience and everyone accommodated a celiac guest. Gluten-free dining is a challenge but Modavie made it feel easy. They were thoughtful and helpful. Gluten-free poutine was delightful!

    La nourriture très bonne avec un bel environnement, mais par rapport au bruit, au début cela était correct, mais durant qu'on mangeait il y avait un groupe de musique qui on commencer a jouer et malheureusement c'était très fort et cela nous empêchait de discuter convenablement... C'est important une belle ambiance musicale, mais c'est supposé être en arrière plan, si je voulais aller a un concert d'un groupe musicale je ne serais pas venu dans un restaurant. Pour le reste, la nourriture était très bonne, le service agréable, c'était très chaleureux! Juste un petit point, si vous décidez d'aller manger là bas, prévoyez que c'est coûteux, mais ça en vaux la peine!

    Excellent food. Would have given a 5 star rating overall had they not had a mix up with our order. We waited a rather long time between courses. In the end, it was worth waiting for.
