Review Summary

Overall, Scores receives mixed feedback: service is consistently praised as friendly, courteous, attentive, and efficient, while the food quality varies from good to inconsistent. The salad bar is repeatedly highlighted as a strength, offering freshness and variety, but some reviews mention cleanliness issues or items not being replenished properly. Chicken is sometimes described as dry or reheated, fries can taste oily or similarly reheated, and at least one dish arrived cold despite warming attempts. Poutine is described as acceptable to average, and burgers and sauces often receive positive notes, with portions and value mentioned favorably on several visits. Celebratory gestures like cake for birthdays are appreciated, though there are frustrations such as a declined gift card due to a system update. In summary, Scores provides a friendly, service-forward experience, but there is noticeable inconsistency in food quality and occasional concerns about cleanliness and execution.View restaurant profile

Review Summary

Reviews portray Au petit chaudron as a warm, clean and welcoming place with friendly, attentive service and a lively, family feel. Guests praise hearty tasty meals for breakfast and brunch at very affordable prices, and the staff are described as adorable and good with kids who are treated with care. The decor is charming and the local vibe strong, making it a familiar gathering spot for the community, and many plan to return. Some comments note a small drawback: the exterior can look less inviting with snow and debris outside, suggesting a light cleanup would help, but this does not detract from the overall experience for most. Overall the restaurant is seen as a standout, beloved for its warm atmosphere, delicious food and consistent hospitality, a must visit in the region.View restaurant profile

Review Summary

Reviews of Pouletto Restaurant present a mixed picture, with the chicken described as tasty and crispy while service and communication issues frequently overshadow the meal. One account details very poor service, no greeting from a young staff member thought to be the owner's son, no thank you after paying, and a tense moment over condiments as the guest, who does not speak French, struggled to be understood; the wrong drink was brought and corrected after an English request, and the garlicky mayonnaise was tasted at the table. The owner reportedly blamed language barriers for the missteps, and the encounter left the guests unlikely to return. Yet the chicken is praised for frying promptly once ordered, the fries are considered good, and some mark the chicken as possibly the best grilled in Montreal, though the portion experienced was fried and lacked flavor. Overall, clients note solid poultry and fries but uneven service and communication issues that can affect the dining experience.View restaurant profile
