Restaurant correct, salle très bruyante.
Le mocktail au gingembre était très bon cependant celui nommé « fruit explosion » était décevant, il ressemblait à de la simple grenadine.
Nous avons pris un burger, il était bon, & une poutine.
C'était la première fois qu'on testait la poutine, nous avons pris la classique. Les frites n'étaient pas bonnes, surgelées, comptez 5$ de plus pour en avoir des maisons. La sauce était très salée & certainement pas faite maison. En bref sans être cuisiner & en achetant quelques produits en supermarché, on peut très facilement reproduire le même plat & économiser 14$ (sans taxe & pourboire).
Finalement la serveuse était gentille. Cependant elle nous a servi de l'eau chaude, nous avons demandé des glaçons mais ils ne nous ont jamais été apportés.
0/5 Stars: Bland Food, Poor Service, & an Uncomfortable Tipping Confrontation
Came with friends, including one visiting from Egypt. There were 4 of us. We ordered the lobster pizza, salmon tartare, lobster poutine, calamari, & four mocktails - all bland. Service was below par, & we were seated in direct sun, making the meal uncomfortable. The only positive was the location.
The bigger issue came with the bill: $200 total (about $50 per person), which felt steep given the quantity & quality of what we received. Since the food & service didn't warrant it, I didn't tip. Instead of letting it go, the server asked me directly why I hadn't tipped. I gave a vague answer to avoid embarrassing her in front of the table, especially in front of my friend visiting from Egypt. She then said she relies on tips due to minimum wage, & proceeded to explain what tipping is as if we didn't already understand basic Canadian tipping norms. I apologized just to end the conversation.
My friend from Egypt, who also didn't tip, was asked the exact same question by the same server. Another friend at our table stepped in & pointed out that tipping isn't mandatory, we weren't a large party subject to automatic gratuity, & if it were required it should be built into the bill. There was no need to interrogate customers.
After the meal, I checked other reviews & found several describing the same behavior with different servers, suggesting this is a pattern at the restaurant, not a one-off.
All other things aside, being cornered & lectured about tipping (twice, at the same table) is something I've never experienced anywhere else in Canada. Management needs to address either wages or how staff are trained to handle this situation.
🍟Tried the poutine, & while it was good, it didn't meet my'Montreal poutine' expectations.🙈The gravy was a little too salty, & I didn't think it paired well with the shoestring fries. I think thicker fries-or even fries with the potato skin left on-would have complemented the gravy more.
Our waiter was SUPER friendly, cheerful, & did a great job despite how busy the restaurant was. Service was on the slower end, but that's fair as the place was busy. The atmosphere was giving lively & energetic vibes, although it can get quite loud during peak hours.
Overall, a good spot to eat within Old Montreal.

Le service & l'ambiance était super! Ma poutine avec des frites congelées Mccain & 5 morceaux de fromage en plus la sauce bien trop salée. Le serveur a été gentil & m'a apporté plus de fromage , il m'a dit que j'étais pas la première à me plaindre, le propriétaire devrait rectifier ce problème
