Review Summary

Stem Bar attracts attention for a beautiful ambiance, stylish decor, and a lively yet refined vibe, with a solid cocktail and wine program and consistently friendly service. The food is described as delicious and well executed, with favorites like burrata pancakes and Brussels sprouts, but several reviews warn that dishes can be very salty and portions may feel small when shared for the per person price. The place can be crowded and noisy, and Stem Bar does not take reservations, which means some guests settle for bar seating or shorter visits during peak times. Despite these points, many diners regard Stem Bar as a standout or hidden gem, noting high quality across the menu and a memorable overall experience ideal for a night out with friends or a date. Overall, Stem Bar is seen as a top option in the area for good drinks and well balanced dishes, with the best experiences highlighting the combination of creative eats, great cocktails, and a vibrant atmosphere.View restaurant profile

Review Summary

Riverside St-Henri is described as a lively, stylish spot with a festive vibe, especially on weekends, featuring strong music, a warm atmosphere, and attentive staff. The venue offers both an inviting terrace and indoor spaces, making it a popular setting for groups and events, with a vibe that many guests call unbeatable. Drinks are generally well regarded, though prices can be high and crowds can be dense, leading to longer wait times and limited movement without a reservation. Some guests mention mixed food truck options and note that portions can be small or ingredients average, while others praise the decor and overall ambiance. The venue is also praised for easy parking and a go-to option for fun outings, though the crowded periods and unisex restrooms are noted drawbacks. Reservations are often recommended to ensure entry during peak times.View restaurant profile
