Food was pretty mediocre. Pizza nothing special. Mussels were cold. Only pasta was decent. Atmosphere was bubbly on a thursday. Waitstaff overwhelmed. I guess people come for the byob.

It's one of those places where it doesn't really matter how good or bad the food is- it's simply a very nostalgic for a lot of Montreal's because they have been going there since they were kids.

Definitely great ambiance & family vibes. Lots of happy people & I think that's why this place is so beloved.

As I am personally, not a Montreal or I feel I can rate the food accurately. Food is a 5 out of 10- respectfully. ❤?
