Food and drinks receive varied notes, with certain dishes like burrata, tartare, and poutine earning praise, yet concerns about a limited menu, high prices, and occasional issues with freshness or consistency surface. The venue is described as chic and club-like rather than family-friendly, with a stylish ambiance that can feel exclusive and at times a bit crowded. Nevertheless, Terrasse Carla is frequently celebrated as a venue for special occasions, with well-organized spaces for bridal showers and events and a view that many call the best in Montreal. In sum, the terrace offers a remarkable atmosphere and scenery that draw visitors back, even as dining and service experiences appear to vary by visit.View restaurant profile

Review Summary

Audience members describe Cabaret du Casino as a venue with strong service at the ticketing and front of house, attentive staff, and lively performances with talented musicians, dancers and striking costumes. Ticket prices are said to be good value and the atmosphere can feel nostalgic and intimate when the space works, with some shows delivering a memorable live experience. However, the experience is not uniform. Some guests complain about a recent space change that eliminates table service, tight long-table seating, and a layout that can feel like a high school, detracting from enjoyment and obscuring sightlines. Others praise comfortable seating, a clean, welcoming staff, and high production values, while mezzanine or under balcony seating can yield poor sightlines and subpar sound due to the floor angle. Access from parking can require crossing the casino, which some find inconvenient. Overall, reviews point to energetic shows and courteous service when the setup works, but note layout, acoustics, and sightline caveats that affect the experience.View restaurant profile
