    Belle expérience en générale, nourriture très copieuse, service agréable et personnalisé, une bonne ambiance, la musique live n’est pas trop forte, une belle carte de vin. Nous y retournerons.

    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.

    J’ai soupé au restaurant Le Moldavie pour la Saint-Valentin avec le menu 3 services. Au total, 280 $ pour deux personnes, mais la qualité n’était pas au rendez-vous. Les entrées semblaient industrielles plutôt que faites maison, les raviolis baignaient dans une huile de truffe de basse qualité et trop d’assaisonnement, et mon carré de veau était beaucoup trop cru, quasiment bleu. Pour un tel prix, un minimum de qualité était attendu. Très déçu.

    The food was delicious & the service was great . Wd were 4 people & we couldn’t really carry on a conversation . The music was really loud on the speakers near our table . I think next time I would request a table in the room with the live music, instead of hearing it over the speaker . If we couldn’t speak then at least we could have enjoyed the music . We now know it’s not the restaurant for a quiet dinner
