The beer and the food have changed. First, their brilliant signature cream ale is dead and gone. Very sad because for years I would go out of my way to invite everyone I knew to come and taste it. They still have a Cream ale but it is not as brilliant as the original. Not even close. The new brew-master is experimenting, and needs time to mature The food used to have flourishes of genius, and creative presentation, but sadly no more. The old chef for example knew about coulis, and deglazing. I went through the menu this week and all is changed to ordinary food with ordinary presentation. The prices remain up there however. The Main in Montreal is where people come for excellence, value, and consistency. Sadly the Reservoir, the jewel of Duluth, is wounded, and the new regime there are on notice. Sorry guys, I am sure you try hard, but you screwed with a great landmark. I was a regular, but it will be a while before I give you another chance if at all.

Baton Rouge Filet Mignon is a fraud. Was actually served cheap, tough, and sinewy Round Steak. Almost choked. I understand this is becoming common practice in Montreal to cut costs. My view is that if a place has pretensions to serve high end food and especially steak like Filet Mignon, and charge top dollar for it, then they had better deliver. To top things off the soup made from a can, the soggy vegetables, and the inexperienced junior staffers, and thuggish Maitre d'Hote all screamed Rip-off. A round steak would have been flagged immediately by most kitchen staff in a proper steak house, but I say they are sub-par at this restaurant, and don't know any better. Any Greasy spoon cook can prepare ribs, and that is all you should be serving if anything at all. Your prices are laughably high for the mediocrity you serve. My personal opinion is that this Baton Rouge as a Steak House is a Sham. Would have complained with vigor, but did not want to ruin my companions evening. You should be ashamed of ruining peoples special occasions. Complained the next morning on their website four days ago, and still no response. Not even an acknowledgment. Low marks all around.
