Review Summary

Bar Dominion is widely recognized as a vibrant and stylish destination in Montreal, celebrated for its elegant atmosphere, classic decor, and high-quality cocktails. Many visitors praise the consistently friendly and professional service, often highlighting the attentiveness of the staff and the welcoming, lively vibe that makes it suitable for dates, outings with friends, or pre-game drinks. While the menu offers well-received shareable plates like oysters, fried halloumi, and tuna tataki, experiences with the food and noise levels can vary, especially during peak hours. Although some patrons noted challenges with seating availability, pricing, or occasional lapses in service speed, the majority of guests appreciate the overall experience and frequently express an intention to return for the unique blend of vintage charm and modern energy.

I'm writing this review while I'm eating in the restaurant. I have to tell you that it is incredible. I came a couple times & I will recommend this place 100%. I work in restauration so I know what I'm talking about. The service is amazing, food is amazing ( especially the burrata & STEAK) I come here only for the steak!
If you want to come to have a drink try the dirty martini & espresso martini AMAZING.

Service was subpar, not overly friendly or personable. Cocktails were… okay. Expected more.

Vibes were great but we ordered two drinks & watched for 50 minutes as others got their drinks. Mind you, it wasn't even that busy. Our server (description : the short guy) kept looking back at us but not checking on us. The bartender who probably did not get our order began his closing tasks so he's chill i don't blame. Maybe because Canadiens lost everyone was off their A-game but come on guys. Vibes are great in there but would've been better if I had a drink in my hand like i ordered 50 minutes prior. We decided to leave because it was getting absolutely ridiculous. No one checked up on us. Rating my night a 6.7/10 only because i went next door to Dunn's to get a crisp glass of wine & a fat plate of buff poutine. 🫵🏻

First visit on a first date. Excellent, courteous, & attentive service from several workers - team approach to serving. Can't believe how packed it was on a Tuesday but that shows popularity. Noise was high. Compliments to the chef for his take on a deviled egg (pictured).

We went during Habs fever, so I don't know if they rearranged everything for the game. Had some very good bites. I cannot comment on the decor, as it was all high tops & the last time I was here they had table seating.

Cute place, but smells like fish inside, so we opted to sit outside. The waiter was nice & attentive. Cocktails were okay. Oysters were fine (you can deffo find way better), but the cocktail shrimp were vile. Tough on the outside, raw on the inside & had an awful smell. Thankfully, they removed it from the bill which I appreciate, so I'm giving 4 starts in total.
