Foie Gras. Foie Gras. The Scallop dish. The pancake dish. Our dessert was the creme pudding. Paired with Pinot Noir. A great culinary experience. Service was slow & disconnected. Everyone was friendly but the attention & timeliness wasn't there. Our waitress was more of a campaigner walking around to smile & be friendly but she didn't serve us. Odd right? They had bussers, food runners, altogether we had 4-5 different staff tend to us but none were truly attentive & timely. I'm a generous tipper but I was wondering who gets the tip. I felt my waiter didn't deserve it. Odd right? We sat in front of the cooking station witnessed all the action. It felt operationally inefficient & chaotic. The head chef & his team, in my opinion deserved the tip. They held the entire restaurant together working in chaos & kept the dishes coming. I noticed he'd call out that a dish was ready but the dish would sit on the shelf likely too long. The food did take too long to get & the time gap between dishes were too long. Wine ordering took too long. If the dishes came out more timely we would've wanted to order more. The best part by far are the incredible & unique dishes. Flavors, richness, uniqueness, all exceptionally enjoyable & memorable. The show stealer. About the atmosphere...for me...it's a bit too cramped & loud for me, but I know it's just me. It's a bar & pub feel. The atmosphere could be completely great for others. What do I know, the place was packed on a Wednesday evening.

May have gotten a five. Honestly, we chose plats main unwisely. We should have order the Duck in a Can & the Pork Shank, which the people next to us got & both looked amazing.

Been going there for 10years plus & it is still a delicious menu. Loud. & boisterous Fun ambiance ! Service is overall ok , slow bar. So I'd order wine & beer. Drinks were inventive but took forever to get to table unphased with our meal. This is the 3rd time the bar is slow. Add a barman or fire the current dude !

This is an institution in MTL with the legacy to leave people with happy tummies & it showed with how packed the restaurant was both locals & fellow tourists. Everything we ordered was great & the staff are really passionate & knowledgable with the food they serve as they proactively suggested the food to get depending on our liking. We were not that hungry as we already got dinner but still managed to order more than expected because of how good the food was!
