I had the opposite experience in April; we sat upstairs, which was fairly full, and had excellent service. I thought that the food was excellent, and had a sampler of elk, bison, and venison filets that were perfectly cooked. It was a bit pricey, but given the difficulty of getting that type of cuisine where I live, I wasn't put out by the prices. Perhaps we just got lucky; based on the posts here, it certainly seems that the service is inconsistent.
The Champlain Room in the Chateau Frontenac was also excellent, but definitely not bistro type dining.
