Le service était 20 étoiles. Par contre, je n'ai pas vraiment aimé mon repas. Entrée de calmars plutôt fade. J'ai pris le loup de mer & j'ai été déçue par le nombre d'arrêtes & l'arrière goût. Dommage, j'avais des attentes trop élevées .
Best meal I've had in a long time! The steak was perfect, juicy & delicious. I felt full & wanted to eat again. I would recommend it to my friends & family.
Pour cette première fois nous avons pris l'entrée & le plat de viande à partager pour 4 personnes & le tout était très finement cuisiné avec des portions généreuses. L'équipe aussi est ultra sympathique & nous avons eu droit à un superbe sourire du début jusqu'à la fin. Nous devrions y retourner la semaine prochaine pour cette fois goûter le poisson.
Les plats sont savoureux & parfaitement assaisonnés (les calmars & le plateau de viandes était succulent). Les ingrédients sont frais & de qualité.
Les portions sont généreuses & bien présentées. Chaque assiette est un vrai plaisir autant pour les yeux que pour le palais.
Le service est efficace & professionnel tout au long de l'expérience. Souriant, chaleureux & un service rapide. Très belle expérience! La décoration est soignée & l'espace est confortable, parfait pour une sortie romantique, entre amis ou en famille.

Nous avons partagé la pikilia à deux était c'était suffisant & excellent. Avant d'entrer dans ce resto, des gens qui en sortaient nous l'ont fortement recommandé & nous n'avons pas été déçus. De plus, le service était excellent :)
DELICIOUS!! The grilled calamari & spicy beef were excellent! Very friendly & knowledgeable staff. There were four of us & everyone raved about their dish. I would suggest that the menu be more descriptive because the food is amazing. Definite stop next time in Montreal.

We were a group of 4 & we had such a wonderful experience.
The staff were welcoming, the food was delicious & generous portions.
We are definitely adding this place to our'must dine at when visiting Montreal' list.
Looking forward to our next visit.
Maybe it was an off night, but the food was mostly terrible. The potatoes were awful- how do you mess that up?- the chicken tasted undercooked, & even the hummus had an off flavour. For the price they charge, I would never go there again. The only positive is that the service was polite & good. Sort of like a guy making you laugh while he steals your wallet.
Excellent food! We had the grilled octopus & fried calamari as starter, & the grilled calamari & lamb chops as mains. Every dish was superb, exactly grilled to the point. You taste the love, passion & expertise of the chef. The portions were also very generous. It seems like a chef-owned restaurant. Service was also very friendly & attentive. They easily accommodated my dietary restriction (no dairy). The chef - a lovely person - came out to have a short chat with us (we were early no rush in the kitchen yet). All in all a great experience & we will definitely be back! A wonderful addition to the neighborhood! Highly recommended.
Grilled calamari as a starter was delicious. & even more amazing was the lamb chops, so tender. It is very hard to grill lambs properly & this was absolutely perfect. Best lamb chops I've had in Montreal there is no question! Great staff, good music, a real gem.
