Auberge des Gallant

We spend a very relaxing stay at Auberge des Gallants. We were very impressed by the staff. They are client oriented, nice and friendly. Food was amazing, taste, look and portions was incredible! Our room was big, nice and clean. We will go back for sure!

I received a message reminding me of our reservation for the 15th. Again, there was no mention of a set menu. At that time I replied asking to make a reservation in the restaurant for 7:30 pm. I received a message back stating that that time was not available, but we could be seated at 7:45pm, which I booked. The reservation was made without mention of the set menu or pricing. I purposely made these reservations as a getaway for my husband and I to celebrate a late anniversary, not Valentines day. We wanted to spend valentines at home with our daughters, and do something different for ourselves. My husband and I don't get a lot of time for ourselves. My vision for our getaway was to enjoy some quiet time together, enjoy a dinner of our choosing, at our pace, in front of a fire or sitting at the bar, and sleep in. When we checked in on the afternoon of the 15th, there was again no mention of changes to the restaurant venue, or the set menu. At 7:30 pm we headed down to the restaurant, only to find it closed and the change of venue posted. We were both very disappointed in the venue, wide open, sparse, bright. The complete opposite of the private, cozy, intimate space we were hoping for. When approached by our waitress, she explained the set menu and the price. We were both very surprised and less than pleased, which our waitress could see. She asked if we had been made aware of the set menu, and voiced her frustration with management that we were not told. But we had no choice. We were now stuck in this hall with a menu we were not excited about with no other dinner option. My husband and I both love really good food. We love to cook at home and like going out to eat to try high end food that we can't do at home. The Valentine menu was not a dinner we would have ordered, and unfortunately did not enjoy. Our server picked up unfinished plates and even stated that he knew the palate cleanser had way too much alcohol. However, the desserts were delicious. At the end of the meal, we enquired about breakfast and were told we would have had to book it ahead, but that our server could "hook us up" with a cup of coffee if we came down. It would have gone a long way to be given vouchers for the breakfast the next morning. Instead, we woke up early, checked out, and went home to make coffee and make a late breakfast. In closing, what I had envisioned as a getaway for my husband and I to have some time to enjoy each other and a great meal did not materialize.

Nice meal but as it’s a 5* restaurant some improvements could be made - there was No butter knife with the bread and butter serving with dinner. No fish knife when the fish was served for the main meal however the party was very enjoyable and I would come back

My husband and I felt zen the moment we arrived at Auberge des Gallant, and that feeling stayed with us during our entire stay. Our getaway started with an English style high tea at restaurant 1171 which was excellent. (Choosing our tea cup from a cabinet was a nice touch.) The buffet breakfast the next morning was just as delicious, and the staff was pleasant. We could see blue jays coming and going to the outside feeders as we ate. We enjoyed a pleasant walk on the short looping trail of the grounds and were amused by the little gnomes hidden among the trees. (There are longer trails only a 15 minute drive away, and many options for horseback riding nearby.) Being able to relax in an outdoor hot tub was amazing. Our room was spacious and the view of the woods from our balcony was nice to look at. We enjoyed the electric fireplace too. I highly recommend this accommodation!!!

A good stay in a fine room with a balcony overlooking the lovely, well-maintained grounds. Our room was clean and comfortable with a well-appointed bathroom (though grab bars would have been appreciated). Outlets for chargers were sufficient but the room needed improved lighting. The patio sliding door apparently had openings that allowed assorted bugs, including a wasp, to get in the room. Service and amenities were excellent and we thought the rate for our room was reasonable. But I have mobility issues and a handicap room would have increased our two-night stay by another $60. As a result, I had a painful walk to our room, located at the far end of a hall from the elevator. My wife ended up doing the heavy lifting to move suitcases and clothes from the vehicle.
