You need to go there at least once in your lifetime.
No salt and pepper at the table, no need. Everything was perfectly seasoned.
The lunch's table d'hôte is really nice and cheaper than the dinner service. It's a great alternative for people who can't afford a 100$ dinner.

If you're in Québec city you must go!

Greatest restaurant I have ever been to. Exquisite food, amazing service and great location. Strongly recommend this place to any and every foodie.

My wife and I and our 3 boys loved this restaurant. It's expensive so be prepared. We pigged out for $800. It was worth it! We had a wonderful cab franc from niagra area for $135 incl in the total. The waiter helped us pick it out and did a great job.

Dishes we had were Arctic char, butternut squash soup, mushroom app, mixed green salad, sweetbreads, venison, squab, lobster and lamb. Soup... plus

Superb cooking.

Most of the restaurants I eat at in Los Angeles have opened in the past two years, so it was a little surprising to see on the menu that Le St. Amour opened in 1978... It's nearly as old as me.

The food and service were fantastic.

We initially thought we'd order the tasting menu, but the full menu proffered so many delectable ideas that we couldn't resist ordering a bunch of... plus

very old school meal, it was a lovely room for lunch but the food was just ok. the sauces were very thick and not interesting. the wines, however, like everywhere in Quebec, were fabulous.
this seemed to be the place to check out so food wise we were disappointed. it was not on par with say Au pied de cochon in Montreal, which is admittedly a different style, but serves much more interesting... plus

What a perfect experience. We had a great table against the back wall and absolutely perfect service from the staff. We were here on Christmas Eve and had their holiday menu. Everything was cooked perfectly, tasted great and looked beautiful. A nice time separation between courses to allow for conversation and to experience the evening instead of shoveling food and turning over tables. All in... plus

Ah-mazing. Gorgeous dining room, perfect service and most importantly the food was delicious. If you're looking for a splurge romantic meal, this is where you want to go. I'm still dreaming about the lobster bisque and my lamb was cooked to perfection. Even the butter they bring with the bread was outstanding - but be careful to not fill up too much on the bread!

Le Saint-Amour is a great place for dinner to celebrate a special occasion. The ambiance is eclectic with its glass ceiling, plants hanging, walls painted with birds and plants. The place is really busy, and a reservation is a must. Service was amazing. Their attention to detail was quite exquisite. For example, when a diner is away at the bathroom, they brought a cover to keep your meal warm.... plus

We wanted to celebrate our anniversary with a memorable meal and we were not disappointed by Le Saint-Amour.

We chose the discovery menu with wine pairings. It was not inexpensive but we thought the meal was exquisite and well worth what we paid.

We had eight courses and each one was delightful. My previous experience with foie gras was terrible so I was leery. Chef Boulay created three... plus

I came here for a wedding rehearsal dinner and all I can say is wow! It was a little out of my comfort zone as we aren't exactly "fine diners". We usually enjoy a more casual experience, but this was a truly amazing meal. The room was lovely, but quite warm until we opened the front windows. The service was excellent and very attentive. Our four course meal consisted of an amazing cream soup,... plus

My boyfriend and I recently went here during our weekend in old Quebec and it was incredible! Luckily, we had a reservation at 6:30p because about 20 min after we sat down, the dining room really filled up! The language barrier was no problem at all; although I speak French, my boyfriend cannot so we were offered an English version of the menu. We both chose the inspiration tasting menu which... plus

Deserves at least 2 Michelin stars, however, due to silly seating rules they do not qualify. My girlfriend and I had the Inspirational menu and everything was mind-blowing. Worth every penny (American or Canadian penny that is).

Service, taste and presentation were exceptional. The restaurant decor is pure French. Wine selection vast and wonderful. Not inexpensive, but what a treat. Life is to be enjoyed and this restaurant is enjoyable.

Dinner at Le Saint-Amour was indulgent and memorable, a 5-star experience all around, and one of the best fine-dining French meals I've had outside of France! This is one of those special occasion restaurants where you expect to spend a bundle, and in return are treated to one of the most memorable meal experiences you'll ever have. The ambiance, service, food and wine are all top notch, and... plus

Came here for a nice dinner on the patio; I wasn't disappointed. Just sit right down and a waitress will greet you. One thing I enjoyed about the staff is that they seemed to be trilingual, speaking français, English, and espanol. The menu is completely in French, but our waitress politely explained any questions we had. Food was delicious. Drinks took a little too long, but overall a wonderful... plus

We were looking forward to having dinner at this iconic restaurant with four of our close friends from Michigan. What we experienced in food and. Presentation wasn't matched in service. The food was very creative...the service not so much. Too long to get wine and then not to get the bottle we ordered. Since this was our first encounter, perhaps we should give them another chance.

Quite amusing and well done

This isn't the usual way we dine so the experience was interesting. We had several small courses and each platter had tastes we liked and tastes we didn't but we learned something. Quail hearts, fiddle heads, sea foam, were all unusual to us but interesting to try. The service was quite good as every course was individually explained to us... plus

We ate at Le Saint-Amour while in Quebec City for a couple nights. We had heard good things about the restaurant and it did not disappoint. We enjoyed the price-fixed menu. The service was as good as the food. We'll definitely go back!

still dreaming of this meal

We went last summer while on vacation. Get the lunch prix-fix, it's a great deal! This was one of the best meals we've ever had!

Great food, great service, wonderful evening

Had a dinner for about 12 of us in their private front room for a speaker dinner at a conference. The meal was outstanding, I had a delicious terrine de Fois Gras, very nice pureed soup, a beautifully presented, Red Deer with wild berries-a very nice combination of complementary tastes and a wonderful selection of Quebec cheeses. Others commented how... plus

Very good indeed

We dined here on the last of four nights in Quebec city. The service was attentive, even enthusiastic. The food was spot-on - beginning with foie gras followed by venison and lamb.
The room is spectacular with vaulted ceilings, hanging plants and red velvet. A pleasure to sit and soak up.
Oh, the wine list is almost beyond belief. It... plus

Great Food Not Great Service

For the price service should impeccable. We had a list of things, from having to wait at arrival to mistakes made in our menu, which demonstrated less-than-impeccable service.

Fine dining at its finest

When you arrive at Le Saint-Amour you realize that you are there for more than a meal-you are there for an experience. There are three dining areas: a small intimate room at the front,a larger open area in the middle and the best by far is the garden at the back. With its glass roof,hanging plants and soft music,it has... plus

First night in Quebec City, and WHAT an experience. This restaurant raises the bar on spectacular service, ambience, and culinary precision. Not necessarily in that order. Impeccable flavors, remarkable textures, and quite simply a breath taking experience. The foie gras 5 ways is an absolute must. As a matter of fact, this restaurant is an absolute must. Kudos to the staff for everything. I... plus

Somewhat Disappointed

My husband and I dined here for my 50th birthday on April 19th. While the food was good, it was not the best we have ever eaten. What was truly disappointing was the service. Service can ruin a meal for us and this proved to be the case. Kind of sad for a special occasion and a $400 bill. :(

Le grand menu découverte

Hi, This was the best meal I've had in Canada.
The service was perfect. We were the last ones to leave and felt no pressure. We were dressed casually and never felt as if they minded.
This is a beautiful restaurant. We took ¨le grand menu découverte¨. Every bite was perfection.
Thanks for this great expérience!

Best meal ever

Ate dinner here with husband and 10 year old son. He was the only kid in the place, but very well behaved and we all enjoyed our meal. Worth every penny.

Not simply a meal, but an experience

We drove to Quebec City for our friend's Birthday. It took some time to obtain a reservation, and considering the price and location, we expected this to be a once in a lifetime event. And in every way it was. I lack the verbiage to adequately explain the culinary delights we experienced. The service, the atmosphere, the food were exemplary.... plus

Best food ever

This is a great restaurant! The foie gras is unmissable, and desert is sublime. Everything was perfect, including service. The decor is a little weird, but you are not going to live there, so it is an amusement for the eyes. On teh pricy side, but worth it (wines are too expensive)

The restaurant was very pretty with great ambience. The foie gras 5 ways was so delicious. I paired the sweetbread and prawn with a side of seared foie gras but that was a little heavy for me. I couldn't finish everything I ordered.

Chef Boulay opened a bistro a few blocks away called "Chez Boulay" located at hotel Manior Victoria. You can try that restaurant for a more affordable price.

Outstanding food

My wife went to this restaurant with colleagues from Europe and all were impressed by the quality of the food and service. Highlights were the mushroom appetizer and the rack of lamb. The meal was in the top 5 of restaurant meals that she has had.

Delish... A must go, worth every penny

Exceptional restaurant

The food at this fine-dining restaurant is exceptional! The service, decor, menu, and presentation did not disappoint. The romantic atmosphere added to, but was not the purpose, of the visit. Yet the entire package was perfect. Quality of the food was superior. Would highly recommend this restaurant (and the creme brulee!)

A beautiful garden like dream

Wonderful place near the center of the upper city. It looks imposing when you enter but the staff is very friendly and helpful and the food an presentation is wonderful. Very unique garden like decor. Don't miss it.

Delicious

The food was amazing! Started off with the foie gras sampling. All were excellent. We both enjoyed the lobster bisque. The wine recommended was excellent. I had the blackened cod and partner had the scallops. We both enjoyed our meals very much. For dessert the creme brulee with the toasted marshmallow which was yummy! I had the eclair which was... plus

Definitely, the best

For more than 30 years, now, this place proved to be the most consistant and best quality of food. Delicious and enjoyable. Never the same but always on the top. You feel like being close to the nature and the old tradition but the food is unique. Unique for a romance dinner.

Unique experience

À great gastronomic experience. Classy without being snobbish atmosphere. Beautiful and chic decor. This is fine cuisine, the one we would like to find more often. This place is à must in Québec City.

A must in Québec City

If you want to enjoy every seconds of your meal in a warm atmosphere and top quality service, Le Saint-Amour is your choice.

Gourmet food with tired staff and decor

If you want expensive but amazing food and wine, it's the best of Quebec. Lovely decor- at one time. Now they've goofy lighting and dying plants hanging from the ceiling. The staff has all the attitude of the French without the Canadian charm

Wow Wow Wow Wow

From the moment we walked in the door, we had a couple people tending to our coats and helping to make us feel welcome. The host took us to our table and we immediately had a server ask if we would like a drink or have any questions. This wasn't our primary server, either. There seems to be different levels... plus

Fine dining in Quebec City

Was a little intimidated initially and thought that I might be in for a night of people hovering over me waiting to fill my water glass after each sip but I was pleasantly surprised. I enjoy fine dining but not the stuffiness that often goes along with it. The wait staff was warm and friendly and enjoyed a good joke... plus

A must do in Quebec City

As with the rest of Quebec, the staff are the friendliest and most attentive I have ever encountered. This is a beautiful, yet comfortable space. The dishes are unique and flavorful. I was a bit reluctant to try the foie gras, but since it is a specialty, I didn't want to miss out. We ordered the Experience and I'm glad... plus

Overdecorated & underflavoured food with great service

The foie gras experience was fine, one of the four was very good. The lobster bisque was served cold into a very hot bowl, wait for it to warm a little. The delicate flavour was adulterated with coconut milk and dry vanilla dust whose bitterness lasted the entire meal. The crab cake in the soup tasted dry and gritty and... plus

Acceptable, not exceptional

Fantastic service, amazing atmosphere. Unfortunately, the food was average. Several dishes were under-seasoned or over done. While the menu "wow'ed" us, the food itself was disappointing. I hope it was just due to an "off" night in the kitchen and not representative of the usual experience. For what we had, it was completely overpriced and underwhelming.

Exquisite

Pricey yes, but this place is so professional.. The best staff we have ever seen. Unreal food, so perfectly presented... A redo for us , as we went here 20 years, and were engaged at the restaurant. Our first return, and did not disappoint. The beautiful atrium type setting just blows you away. Thank you saint Amour

Fantastic service and food

This restaurant was recommended to us by a local and I am extremely happy I had the chance to try it out. In fact, unbeknownst to me, I actually ate at St-Amour's sister restaurant the night before, so if you would like, you can read my review of Chez Boulay as well.
If you can afford to splurge for one... plus

Truly one of the best meals I've ever had

From the moment I arrived the service was impeccable. The host took me to my table and immediately offered me an aperitif. The foie gras was amazing and a paired with a perfect pinot noir. The menu sources all local ingredients. I had the red deer (venison) served with berries. It was superb. Throughout the meal the service was very... plus

Perfect

One of the best dining experience I've ever experienced. In terms of atmosphere, service, timing, attention to detail, and the quality of food/wine, it was absolutely perfect. Our waiter was just the best. If you see this, hope you and the family are enjoying DisneyLand! We were literally taken aback by how amazing our evening there was, from the drinks... plus

Absolutely fantastic

Everything about this restaurant was incredible! The food was excellent. The service was friendly, prompt & impeccable. We spent almost 3 hours enjoying the ambiance & never felt rushed. I cannot recommend this restaurant enough.

Excellent choice of food and wine

you will always remember the most amazing meal and wine choice in the city. The charm of a top scale neighborhood eatery. You will write about your memories of food and wine.

Simply special

the whole meal was a treat.... we tried the INSPIRATION suggestion by the chef and it was fabulous.... the décor adds to a SPECIAL EVENING.... the colors, brass, greenery only 'warms you up' for the rich series of plates about to arrive.... the service (smiles, being spoiled, the extra HAPPY ANNIVERSARY dish, etc, etc) was as good or better than... plus

The Best Christmas Dinner I Have Ever Had

Our family has traveled every Christmas for the past 5 years. Christmas dinner is always one of our highlights. In Quebec, we stayed at the Chateua Frontenac. We looked into Christmas dinner there, but did not want to pay $160/person for dinner. After researching several restaurants, we made reservations at Le Saint-Amour! It was beyond worth it! We loved the... plus

Excellent

Award winning restaurant and deserving. Fabulous meals. Variety on the menu. The Foie Gras is a must ( with a couple of varieties to chose from). The rack of lamb is excellent. Very nice wine list. Ambience and staff are great. The atrium area is a nice touch. Only minor issue is slightly crowded between tables. Book in advance to... plus

Wow

If there was one word to use to sum up this meal, it would be WOW! everything was outstanding and while it was a pricy dinner, it was well worth it! My husband had the foie gras sampler, and he said its in the top 5 of the best things he has ever eaten in his life. I tasted a... plus

Great food, friendly staff

We found this wonderful restaurant by chance on a Saturday evening in October. Although we did not have reservations, they were able to accommodate us. The staff is very friendly, the decor is very nice and the food is outstanding and they have a good selection of wines. If we go back to Quebec City again, we would go there... plus

My husband and I were on our (short) honeymoon, and we had to celebrate with at least one truly decadent and spectacular meal. After doing my Yelp research (and a few other sources), and taking a look at the various menus, I knew that Le Saint-Amour was IT. And boy was I right!

We arrived a little early for our reservation, but they were happy to seat us since the dining room wasn't full.... plus

Luxurious. The main dining room is beautiful. The service is polished. The food is great. Highly reccomend the inspiration tasting menu. Excellent choice for a special night out in Quebec City

Bonne Anne

What ever you read from these review are absolutely true
We had a prix set menu of 9 courses
Outstanding
Speechless
Wonderful
When in Quebec City you must try
Service to attend all your dinning needs
Merci Merci

A magical and delicious Christmas Eve

This was our third visit to Jean-Luc Boulay's famous restaurant in the past twelve months. Certainly not our last...
We decided to make a quick trip to Quebec City to make Xmas more heartwarming for my recently widowed mother in law.
The menu concocted by Chef Boulay and his team was up to our expectations and the high standards of... plus

Super

Food was amazing with a gourmet touch. Lobster soup is top notch. Waiter very helpful and explanatory and didn't mind speaking English. The setting was one of the best I've seen so far. We sat in the front room by the window, it was snowing and the classical music in the background together with the Christmas decor was out of... plus

Get the prix fixe, five-course menu option and add on your own choice of dessert

The service is impeccable and this restaurant takes itself seriously. The cuisine is French, but there is whimsy and delight in preparation like the creme brûlée with it's homemade marshmallow to roast over the flaming dessert -- best brûlée I have ever experienced. Savor the carpaccio -- so many different and distinctive flavors and a work of art! There are... plus

Phenomenal

Difficult to describe this restaurant other than purely amazing. Black Cod, Red Deer Medallions, Scallops, Lobster Bisque - all of it was heavenly. Very expensive, but worth it.

Fantastic!

In a city with amazing restaurants I could still eat eat here every day.

had a great dinner! ordered the affettati misti (chef's selection of assorted salumi, imported cheeses, marinated olives & roasted vegetables) as an app. did not care for everything on the platter but that is simply a matter of taste. the presentation was beautiful. ordered the bolzano and white pizzas for dinner. the bolzano crust was a bit burned in areas but still good. the white pizza was... plus

Great Pizza and Bites Board

A group of co-workers in New Orleans on the first night of 8 needed a quick bite. We found this great place on the web (MDW found it for me). Different types of Pizza for multiple tastes and managable portions for everybody to have alone or even share. the Meat and Cheesee sampler board was fantastic. You can order 3,5 7 items to accent your main or complement it.We had a 5, including the soft... plus

Viva Italia

Very nice. Love the meat and cheese plate, stratshi (sp), pizza and wine.

Thanksgiving

Went in for Thanksgiving dinner and had the 4 course prix fix. I made reservations about a week in advance and had been looking forwards to my first Thanksgiving in a restaurant. Was not disappointed. Great service, fun atmosphere, outstanding dinner!

Love Everything on the menu

I've been a couple of times and once was with a large group where we ordered family style and shared the majority of the items on the menu. Everything was delicious! The seasonal appetizers - friend squash blossoms and fried kale - were out of this world and the ever present roasted cauliflower was incredible. My two favorites from the main menu were the squid ink pasta and the carrot pizza -... plus

My Domenica experience

John Besh gives so much back; loved the fab treats; great little gift. Thank you for our delicious pizza in NOLA. We traveled from Fort Polk in terrible traffic, missed our seating; and still had an opportunity to enjoy ourselves. Can't wait to visit our next Besh establishment. God bless and happy holidays! Thanks again,

Very High-End Italian&Israeli Food

This place has a really high-end menu with lots of items that I'd never dream of attempting to cook at home. The wine list is impressive and they don't appear to be marking up the wine prices too much. The restaurant is embedded into the Roosevelt Hotel, which has a spectacularly breathtaking, but gaudy, lobby from the 1920s. The menu is mostly Italian, but with some Sephardi Jewish/Israeli... plus

Saturday lunch before a show at the Saenger - Luke was the perfect choice on a cool, blustery day. The minestrone soup was totally unexpected (and delicious!) with fresh favors of watermelon radish and dill. Trying to keep it light, I chose an appetizer for my main course: OMG - the mushroom ragout with marrow butter on toast was Incredibly rich and luscious, but NOT light. In any case, I ate... plus

Domenica's is always a treat

Had a great time! The wait staff was helpful, prompt and friendly and the pizzas were excellent. I hope to go back soon to try the other menu items. I've had the roasted cauliflower for an appetizer, which is excellent but haven't tried the other menu items because the pizza is so good that I order it every time I go. The Hotel was decorated for Christmas and was breathtaking. The ambiance of... plus

A hotel restaurant

Probably good for pizza, but we ordered from a special Thanksgiving/Hanukkah menu. Really the food was good but the place felt cold. This is a problem with many hotel restaurants. You always know when you are in one. The Roosevelt Hotel has a very impressive lobby, and the Sazerac Bar there is classic. Not so with Domenica though.

Enjoyable dinning

Octopus salad was awesome. All else good too!!

Madmc

The service was very good. I recommend making reservations. We requested an off the menu item (white anchovies in olive oil) and the chief was very accommodating. We also ordered the octopus carpaccio and hedgehog mushrooms for our appetizers, all were excellent. For our entrees we ordered the Squid Ink Tagliolini, Stacci and the Bolzano pizza; all very good. The Stacci (oxtail and chicken... plus

Found myself in New Orleans over Thanksgiving without a plan so I went to Dominica and sat at the bar. Couldn't have had a better solo Thanksgiving lunch! Very friendly, good sweet bartender. Also the food was perfect. (Nothing iike burrata, squid ink pasta and a glass of red for Thanksgiving dinner!) It was a nice alternative to a big dinner with a bunch of people, overdosing on gravy and... plus

Love the Pizza at Happy Hour

Domenica is always a fun place to go but the half off happy hour prices are fantastic. I love the holidays at the Roosevelt and it was the perfect day to walk through the lobby and grab a late lunch. Everything was wonderful: wine, pizza, cauliflower, and afatati misti. Chef Alon was out in the main dining area and stopped by to say hello.

Another win by John Besh

Domenica is a very lively place to meet up for after work drinks or an informal meal. In our small group we had the Quattro Formaggio pizza and the Wood Fired eggplant. The pizza was good, not earthshaking but very good and properly cooked. The wood fired eggplant was a total surprise. It was one of the simplest and most delicious dishes I have had in a very long time. I would go back just for... plus

You won't be disappointed!

We were expecting a simple regular Italian but it turned to be a wonderful experience. The food was exquisite. We had the plate of cheese and salamis for starters, they were served with many different types of delicious bread. The pasta were cooked perfectly and the desserts were delicious. At the end, we were given a little thank you box with delicious chocolate cookies.
We will be back for sure!

Fun vibrant food

Great food great service and great location. Best at Christmas time to walk around the hotel lobby

Dominica has it ALL!

Great food, excellent service, moderately priced, within walking distance of Saenger Theater, Joy Theater, French Quarter. Located in one of the most beautiful hotels in New Orleans. It has it ALL! If I didn't live 90 minutes away, I would go much more often.

It must be the pizzas

Pizza was the only thing we didn't try and I'm sorry. We love John Besh and am amazed that the food was so poor. We each had something different (4 of us) and no one had something we liked. Waiter was very busy so he was rushed and difficult to find. Just thought he had too many tables.

Special place

This is the restaurant that my wife and I went to on our honeymoon weekend. We just made one year and went there fir dinner. It was a great experience both times. Cant wait to go back.

Excellent pizzas.The Cauliflower dish is out of this world

Don't come solo if you're a woman..

Went pre Saints game, having been many many times before. This time, though, wasn't with a man and had a child with me. Sadly, my waiter obviously thought that meant I should get no attention at all. He literally didn't even bring us plates, or sweetener for our coffee. Such bad service, and tables right next to us were treated well. It was an awful experience and very embarrassing for me as I... plus

Disappointing

Overpriced, noisy, overrated. Doesn't really fit in the Roosevelt hotel.

Pre Theatre

efficient, friendly, attentive service from Will; a very professional and personable waiter.

Couldn't have been better!

Our waiter really knew the menu and dish ingredients. His recommendations were spot on. I like pizza with a thinner, crispier crust, but the flavor of our pie was outstanding. We also had a delicious redfish plate and 2 members of our group completely enjoyed the lasagna bolognese. The semifreddo dessert was a real treat.

Wonderful!!!

Not only was the food great, but the restaurant environment and the waitress added to the overall wonderful experience at Domenica. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone who would like to enjoy great food! When you visit Domenica, please try the roasted cauliflower with feta goat cheese. You will be delighted with the great taste of this appetizer.

Creative menu

Not your run of the mill Italian. Pizza was excellent , out of the world crust. Pasta perfectly cooked. Fish melted in your mouth. Octopus appetizer was sublime. Went for dinner, and two days later came back for lunch and loved it as much

Great lunch spot

Had lunch there. Food was very nice and different, not the "usual Italian" (whatever that means, considering how heterogenous true Italian really is!) -- exotic and eclectic, that is. Very interesting the roasted cawliflower as as appetizer, loved the rabbit and porcini pasta and the "black tagliolini" with squid ink and crab meat. Unlike most reports of it being noisy, at lunch it was rather... plus

Group food

Food was very good. I wish I could have sampled more of the pizzas in a group.

Pizza is great!!!

The top pizza in the CBD. The appetizers are wonderful. Everything first rate. Hope they have a Hanukkah meal this year.

Unique

Great for dinner prior to going to a concert or event, since it is near a major theater. The restaurant has a variety of food choices; some are unusual but very tasty. The service was excellent, and we were able to leave on time to attend a concert nearby.

Wonderful service & delicious pizza

Came @ 5:15 on Mon & took advantage of weekday specials. Great service & enjoyed 1/2 price margherita pizza very much-only $3.25 ea for 1/2 a pizza-what a deal! Banana dessert was delicious & I'm not even a big banana fan! Didn't care for peach bellini due to strong bitter flavor but my friend enjoyed 2 pomegranate bellinis at 1/2 price. Server was good enough to ask if we wanted a 2nd pizza... plus

Loved the food, service was adequat

My husband and I split a pizza. He had the lamb meatballs on his and I had the mushroom with yard egg. Both of us loved it. I had been reading the reviews and knew service here was an issue with several patrons. I must say they were right, our waiter, Will was only adequate -- did what he had to and nothing extra and was very unfriendly.

Best happy hour specials around.

Happy Hour

Domenica never disappoints. The atmosphere is fun and you cannot beat the Happy Hour specials. The pizzas are the best in the city and the drinks are creative.

great spin

Chef takes traditional foods and makes them eclectic masterpieces. Food was A+ from gator to pork to reddish to dessert

Dining Before Theatre

Wonderful experience! Recommend roasted cauliflower appetizer. We had tickets to the Saenger and the staff did a great job of communicating excellent food choices and efficiently taking care of us and sending us on our way in time to see the show. We will be back.

Yummy!

The service and food are excellent and on point. I have dined here several times for lunch and dinner and have enjoyed the experience every time. Would definitely go back for lunch. Love love love the roasted cauliflower and goat/feta dip. My FAV on the menu.

Deserves its great reputation

I was sort of intent not to like the place if only because it has such a reputation. I was wrong: the reputation is deserved, the food is actually that good and the service is that perfect mix of the european style formalism and american style friendliness.
Also notesworthy: it is one of the few restaurants of that caliber where... plus

Great Happy Hour

I wanted to visit a John Besh restaurant and was pleasantly surprised that Happy Hour is everyday from 3-6 in the entire restaurant. I had a great pizza, salad and 1/2 price beer. The couple seated next to me were regulars and very friendly. They told us about their favorites. Fun place to go and very reasonably priced.

Best of Besh

Without a doubt, the best Besh stop. Squid Ink pasta is fantastic. Chanterelle appetizer is to die for.

Best Happy Hour in New Orleans

Had a great time at Domeica's. Went for the happy hour with one-half off pizzas and drinks. Enjoyed three different pizzas all done to perfection - Carne Tutti (sp?), spicy pork and wild mushrooms. Also tried two of the specially offered appetizers - pork belly excellent and red fish collars - very good and different. Wines by the glass were also very good. At our table we tried the pinot... plus

Excellent restaurant in every way that a restaurant can excel

In short, this was probably the best meal that I ever had, from the gluten-free amuse bouche to the fabulous desserts. The cocktails were imaginative. The service impeccable. Romantic setting. I loved it, and would absolutely go back next time I'm in Quebec.

Foodie Heaven

Loved the surprising, imaginative combinations offered. Everything we ate was scrumptious. Only wish we lived there to be able to try all items on the menu. Squid ink pasta with seafood was excellent. Their fried kale was the best and crispiest we have ever found anywhere.Server was excellent. Professional, warm, and attentive. Nice to have great wine by the glass at half price during happy hour.

A Happy Hour to Get Acquainted With

Since I discovered that Domenica has half price pizza and cocktails between 3 and 6pm every day, I have visited weekly. The pizzas are inventive, gourmet creations. I recommend the roasted carrot (beets, brussel sprouts, and hazelnuts - yum!). The ambiance is classy without being formal or stuffy, and the servers are top notch. If you haven't been to Domenica, get down there! But be sure to... plus

Food was both amazing and plentiful, and happy hour specials made the meal downright cheap. The service was very slow, but this may have been a fluke--other tables that sat down after us had their food served before we got ours. I would normally be more annoyed by that sort of thing, but the quality of everything really outweighed that negative. We'll definitely be back, and are making this our... plus

Yum yum yum

This place was amazing!! From the first thing i ate to the last it kept getting better and better! Our waiter Jobie was one of the sweetest people in New Orleans! The spicy olive oil on the table with the bread! The roasted cauliflower with the sea salt and goat whipped feta! You can get order half and half on the pizzas!!!!! I wanted all of them! I did half spicy lamb meat balls and half... plus

Romantic, delicious, unique

My boyfriend (now fiance) took me to this restaurant for a 5-course dinner before he proposed! It was a perfect romantic setting and the food was fabulous. Everything we ate was unique and delicious. The service was impeccable and the mood quiet but nice. I definitely recommend this restaurant for a special occasion- and Quebec City as a whole, it's... plus

Wow

A treat for all the senses. The garden room has a soaring glass ceiling, but an intimate feel. Service is attentive, but not fawning. The food is superb. My entree of seared black cod over black rice with a puree of squash (I think) was such a melange of flavors that it defies description. Suffice it to say that it... plus

Absolutely Perfect

We only had time for lunch - but if we could have we would have returned for dinner also. The interior decorating and ambiance is unbelievable - could not be better. And - they matched that with the top notch service and food. If you are looking for a quiet, romantic restaurant with excellent service, super food and a great... plus

Loved it

And I don't type in all caps. But this place was excellent: innovative and wonderful food. Excellent service with wonderful suggestions for wine to accompany my meal.

So very wonderful in so many, many ways

We have not been in French style restaurant like this since the high flying 1980s in New York. There are three dining rooms: A small one up front in the formal style of a French restaurant. A middle one in a more modern style. And finally the grand main dinging room in the style of Belle Epoque. It is was... plus

Good but not excellent

While this is a very good restaurant, we found it a little lacking compared to other restaurants in its price category (expensive). The scallops with snow crab are very good but we were a bit disappointed in the lobster bisque. The décor is very over the top.

A bit of Drool happening here

We loved this place,the name says it all. Le Saint Amour, suggested by Mary from Le California B and B, was a great choice. I had the Filet of beef, probably one of the finest filets that I've tasted.

delicious but expensive

This restaurant is one of the french style restaurant I had in my trip with my girlfriend. The total experience is not that bad but far to be fantastic as we expected. First of all, seldom water can speak English fluently, I'm not a picky person but I do expect they can use English to describe the dishes. And even... plus

Eclectic ambience and top flight service. We came here for our anniversary and were not disappointed. The lobster bisque with the crab cake was delicious as was the Arctic char appetizer. My wife had the lobster and I the scallops, both were superb. If you are an oenophile, the wine list here is amazing and well organized by region. We had a 1990 chateau Giscourt Margaux that was unbelievable.... plus

We came here for our anniversary and had a wonderful meal!

My seared foie gras was perfectly cooked. It was well seasoned and the salt created a nice crust and the inside was sweet and creamy; every bite was perfectly balanced.

My husband had the guinea fowl and he said that it was the favourite part of his meal.

My squab was out of this world! The presentation was just stunning. The... plus

The food was first rate--fresh, delectable, diverse, extraordinary and skillfully prepared. The rating of 4 rather than 5 reflects slightly disappointing ambiance and service and a resulting feeling that the value wasn't quite what it could have been. My husband's and my table was a bit crowded among several larger tables, and at several points we felt we'd been lost track of. For our most... plus

We went there for lunch, as they have great prices for week days. The food was extremely well prepared, and the service was pleasant. The pasta they prepared for our 4-year old daughter were delicious.
The only (slight) disapointment were the cocktails, that were good but not as exceptional as we assumed.

great food

Everything was excellent. They even provided us with a complimentary plate of fois gras because the flowers I had asked for to be at the table at our arrival were late(arrived before main meal). Beautiful decor and the staff were excellent. Each plate was incredible in presentation and taste. We will definitely dine there again. The best restaurant we have eaten as so far.

Absolutely memorable meal.

We had a great table by the window and can see the horse and carriages passing by.

Ordered

Beef filet mignon
silky tofu anchovy

Overall this is a very good restaurant. I wouldn't say this is a great fine dining restaurant though. Some of this might appear to be nit picking to some, but you need to apply a different standard to something at this price point. In my opinion, you should pass on this place. Let's break it down...

Food:
Overall very good but nothing blew me away. Ordered the Foie Gras Experience (5 ways) and... plus

The service here is impeccable. The staff is attentive, and shares the burden so that you don't have to hunt down your server to get help. They are knowledgeable and friendly. Not a single fault.

The atmosphere is very nice. Subdued and inviting. Definitely a nice place for a friendly meal, or a romantic evening.

We started with an amazing amuse bouche of tomato and goat cheese which really... plus

One of my favorite restaurants of all time, consistantly great since my first visit in 1998. Original, fresh, outstanding service, wherever I'll end up, a trip to Qc will be worth it with a dinner at le St-Amour.

Absolutely unbelievable!! Hands down the best meal both my husband and I have ever had. We typically go to a super fancy, expensive dinner once every year and this one topped all of them. The service was phenomenal, the food even better. I had the lobster risotto dish and not only did it taste wonderfully but it looked just like a work of art. My husband ordered the fillet which just melted in... plus

Wonderful meal! Beautiful classic French cuisine with Impeccable service. My husband and I shared the Experience Foie Gras that was sooooo good and truly beautiful in presentation. I had the seabass and my husband had filet mignon, each had wonderful sauces and perfect sides. The portion sizes were very generous contrary to what you usually hear about French cuisine. We also shared a desert... plus

This is one of our two favorite restuarants in Quebec. It is a motivating factor in choosing Quebec City as a destination. The ambience is so lovely and the service just right. Our waiter, Gerome, was just wonderful, an important part of the perfect experience. We both had the "Fois gras experience" and could have stopped there. Oh, what a delight! We didn't especially care for the sauterne, a... plus

Worst service for the restaurant in this class

I had the most awesome sweetbread here at this restaurant. Most sweetbread has a mushy texture, not so here. This sweetbread is firm with texture, and full of flavor. I will exercise for 2 years and go back for another taste!!

One of the best meals I've ever had. Fois gras, mushroom appetizer, and main course (lobster) were all excellent. Service was also superior. The meal was quite expensive but certainly memorable.

If you are looking for trendy, modern, hip and cheap, don't make reservations here. If you can't afford to eat here don't make reservations otherwise you are just going to complain about everything and write a stupid review stating that this place is a dated, elitest restaurant that's not worth it. Okay, I averted all the cheapskates from eating here and making a fool of themselves. Now let's... plus

My husband and I went here 2/20/2012. Ambiance fabulous, service impeccable, but for the life of me I can't recall what I ate. Maybe the place was TOO romantic, the food was really good, but not to die for. It was good, and it's expensive. I go to Quebec City once a year, and I'm glad I went here, but with so many places to try....not sure I would go back, until I visit the numerous offerings... plus

Apparently, Montreal and Quebec City have a restaurant "war" over bragging rights for best places to eat. Montreal probably has more than Quebec, but this place is as good as any of the top restaurants in Montreal. I loved the amuse bouche and attention to detail and service. The wine list was outstanding (not that I could deconstruct it) and the menu is an innovative take on traditional fare... plus

Very on the fence about the 5th star here. Food was amazing (if it doesn't creep you our, say yes to the foie gras sampler!!) and the setting is indeed modern french with rouge everything and giant ceilings and hanging plants galore. The service wasn't of the "let me take care of that before you even think to ask" kind but I think they are going for a slightly less formal feel. Our servers all... plus

Went based on a recommendation of a superb meal by other family members who were here in the summer and know good cuisine when they eat it.
Obviously it was not our night. Ordered the 5 course Inspiration menu with an addition of the Fois Gras sampler 5 ways. I only wish the meal was as inspired as we were at the beginning.
Amuse bouch came first...it was a confit over carrot/currant salad.... plus

I chose this restaurant based on the reviews, but sincerely it exceeded my expectations!!!... Everything was Awesome! The Foie Gras was delicious!!... The other appetizer we ask was the artichokes, and its was excellent too!!... My main dish was the deer and it was the best I've ever tried!!!.... Also, you can find a lot of different wines!!... They have a good variety of wines. Additionally... plus

Absolutely beautiful restaurant, service was a wee bit too formal as they took forever to take our order, I think they wanted us to peruse the menu to be impressed. It is expensive. All in all a nice expensive evening out.

Came to Quebec City for a brief visit. Had a great meal here. One of the locals states this was "a must, not to be missed." It was great. Service was very slow though. 3 hours for 3 courses.

Would rank it just below Panache and just above Laurie Raphael where we also ate.

This is the BEST restaurant I have ever freqented. The food was amazing, the service the best. An experience you will never forget. I had the foie gras, the sea bass and the cognac sorbet. I wish I lived nearby so I could go more often. It is expensive though

Mets parfaitement exécutés. Ambiance unique. Facture salée !

What can I add that has not been already written? Well, our dinner here was exceptional above and beyond previous comments because:

We came in as a party of 3 (including a 7 year old) with no reservation at 5:40 on a Thursday night (Bastille Day no less). The staff not only found us a table by the bar, they then moved tables around in the main dining room (a big job for several people) so we... plus

This place is picture perfect. Portions are just right, the food is nothing short of delicious, the ambiance and service are wonderful. I had read about this on Chowhound and had very high expectations - it exceeded them all. A special shout out for our waitress - she was just wonderful. Expensive and worth every penny.

I was told this was the best restaurant in Old Quebec. Nestled in a building on a side street in Old Quebec City, it was quaint and lovely. After reading a couple of reviews, we decided to have the foie gras seven ways. It was fantastic. Foie gras truffle, foie gras maccaroon, foie gras creme brulee...amazing. I also ordered the deer (cerf), which was also well done and very filling.

The wait... plus

Hmm, can you give a place 6 stars? This place fits into the 'all time best meals of my life' category. Every dish was a flavour explosion and complete wonder.

The foie gras brought us here. We had the assorted plate of 7 different preparations. I don't remember all the specifics, but they were all total food experiences in themselves. It took 37 minutes (thanks to time-lapsed photography) to... plus

Engaged at Le Saint Amour in 1993 - back when the roof in the back garden was retractable and could be opened to the sky. We returned for our 10th anniversary and both meals are top five that we have had anywhere in the world. Great wine list and we recommend the chef's tasting menu. Can't wait until our next visit to Quebec City, Le Saint Amour will be a sure stop!

Indulge yourself at a really fine French restaurant. We had the "Discovery," a ten course culinary journey that is pricey, but most memorable. Impeccable service, and outstanding cuisine, make this a stop that you'll remember.

When making a reservation, make sure you request a table in the greenhouse area. I have yet to be disappointed when I go to the Saint-Amour but prices go in accordance. For the discerning Epicurean, their wine list is a work of art. Just ask the sommellier Blaise for suggestions and he will always come up with something interesting within your price range. If you want that special meal while in... plus

This is a gourmet restaurant -- VERY pricey -- so fair warning! We ate in the [pictured] Winter Garden. There is a much more traditional dining room in the front of the building. The service was leisurely and very competent.

Favorite Dish: Everything! Take a look at their website:)

The restaurant is in a beautiful old stone bulding in Old Quebec which is a bit off the main streets. The room we ate in is called the 'winter garden,' which apparently has a retractable roof for the summer months. Besides the great food and romantic setting, the next best thing about the restaurant was the waitstaff. They truly seemed to know everything about the menu (the various ingredients,... plus
