Review Summary

Taken together, reviews portray RH Rooftop Restaurant as a visually stunning Montreal spot with a dramatic rooftop, glass ceiling and chandeliers that can make the dining experience feel memorable, and many praise the atmosphere and attentive service even when execution feels inconsistent; the food receives a split verdict, with some dishes described as delicious, well prepared and worth the price, while others are labeled average or overpriced with small portions; several highlights are noted like the bread service, seafood and ribeye, and a standout dessert program including a banana split, yet there are comments about slow or disjointed service, miscommunications about substitutions or allergies, and a few concerns about tipping practices and after tax charges that affect perceived value; dietary accommodations are mentioned positively in many visits, though vegan options appear limited in some reviews; the location, interior design and terrace potential are repeatedly cited as major draws, and several reviewers say they would return for the ambiance and special occasions, while others caution that the price tag can outweigh the dining experience if the food and pacing fall short.View restaurant profile
