Très belle place à découvrir. Les huitres sont délicieuses.. Moi j'ai pris le cheese burger sur la coche.. Ambiance très bien... C'est certain que j'y retourne bientôt.. !!!
Absolutely gorgeous, old-money, roaring 20's decor. It's lovely, & just before a Habs game, very likely.
I made a reservation for 18:15 but the place was just booming. We ended up sharing a table with others, no big deal.
Great classic cocktails, sometimes with a twist. My +1 ordered a dirty martini, the menu said they added sage, but we didn't taste any (maybe they don't add it to the vodka version). My Tuxedo #2 was fragrant & flowery, as expected.
We decided to try the party platter, where you get to try a few appetizers (see the photo). Everything was good, I liked the oriental style ribs, fried halloumi & tasty sauces.
Service was fine, even during the pre game rush.
It's definitely not a cheap date place. It's a dress up, go all out Great-Gatsby-style kind of place.
We really enjoyed it.

Don't come here if you want to enjoy your night. First, we didnt quite like the food. The quantity & quality both not satisfying. Server are too busy as well. As it wasn't an enjoyable meal, we didn't tip. Server got aggressive & gave attitude. Avoid at best.
Great atmosphere & excellent cocktails. I visited on a Friday night & wasn't aware that reservations were required; however, the team quickly accommodated us, which was greatly appreciated.
The service was attentive, & the cocktails were exceptionally well crafted.
The ambiance was vibrant, with great music that really elevated the experience.
A special thank you to the manager, Paul, for warmly accommodating us, & to DJ Mike for providing such an enjoyable musical atmosphere.
Méchante belle expérience. On était une table 4 & on a adoré nos repas. Le serveur m'a proposé un drink hors menu & personnalisé & il était délicieux. Vous aurez compris que le service était super.
Super bel ambiance. Comme les jeunes disent;'it's aesthetic'. Je n'ai pas de photo. Je vous laisse découvrir par vous même. J'y retournerai c'est sûr!
Around 6 on a Thursday night dead of winter. Thought I would catch a quick bite before an event. Slammed. Not a place for locals to drop in. Reservation for 1 at the
bar?
It was game night & very busy downtown. We took a chance without reservations & were lucky enough that someone else was a no show. Great location, food & drinks were very good. Highly recommend.
Came here with a friend for a little cocktail night out! It was walking distance from our hotel (the Sheraton) so we decided to give it a try! I ordered the Martingale & some fresh oysters. My cocktail was the perfect blend of strong, sweet, & citrusy. The oysters were also very fresh & paired well with the toppings!
We absolutely loved the vibe of this place-buzzing & lively but not too loud so we could hear each other while chatting. Would definitely recommend & I'll be coming back the next time I'm in the city!
