The place is really pretty & has good energy. We just stopped in for drinks & they were ok. The cocktails were a bit sweeter than expected.
The service was very attentive. At times a bit too attentive & their stopping by to see if we needed anything was a bit intrusive at times.

We went here for some late night drinks & nibbles (they were serving food until midnight!) & it was absolutely amazing. Refreshing cocktails & very high quality, tasty food. The bar itself is stunning & a great vibe, & the service was immaculate. Every single staff member was extremely kind & attentive. Can't recommend enough!

We stopped & had drinks & appetizers before attending a JFL show. Our waiter, Timothy, was very attentive & friendly, providing excellent service. We'd definitely return. (try the Country bread, its fantastic)

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).

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.

I had dinner at Bar Dominion & it turned out to be a great experience. The highlight of the night was definitely the $1 oysters-we couldn't resist & ordered a couple dozen. Fresh & well worth it.
I also tried the deviled eggs topped with caviar (my first time trying caviar). They were good, though a bit on the salty side. I actually preferred the other fish roe on top-the larger orange ones-which added a really nice texture & flavor. The caviar itself was subtle since there wasn't much of it.
The standout dish for me was the tuna tataki. It was absolutely amazing-lightly seared raw tuna over a miso vinaigrette, topped with greens (likely seaweed) & cucumber. I would go back just for that dish alone.
We sat at the bar & got to watch the mixologists in action, which was a great experience. The staff were a 10/10-friendly, warm, professional, & very attentive without being overbearing.
Overall, a fantastic spot. I'd definitely come back.

I've been here 3 times now & find it amazing! For the food quality & ambience, I think the prices are great. The ambience & service are also amazing. I've been here with family, friends, & most recently for my birthday with a larger party. The times with family & friends were very good but my birthday dinner stood out. The bar was great with the allergy in the party, the service was attentive, & they were responsive to my requests to pre order & pay in advance. Everyone had an amazing time & & everyone at the bar made organising the dinner easy. Thank you!

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.

The vibes in this bar are *gorgeous*-super aesthetic in a way you genuinely wouldn't expect from the exterior. I came for a friend's birthday & it was such a fun spot for a night out.

Cocktail prices are pretty much in line with every other downtown Montreal bar, so you're not really coming here for a'deal,' but the drinks were **really yummy** & well made.

Food-wise: we ordered the **party platter** & I honestly wouldn't recommend it. It's marketed as a mix of smaller appetizers in one platter, but it felt like only 2-3 actual items from the menu, with **a huge portion of the platter being crudités**-& it was **$74**. That said, the sauces/dips that came with it were amazing, especially the **chimichurri**.

The mains helped recover the experience a bit. I had the **burger**-it was a good portion if you want something heavier, but mine was a little dry & kind of cold. Not bad, just not extraordinary. The **fries**, though? Dangerous. Genuinely addictive-best'drunk bar fries' I've had in a while.

Service was another standout: the waitress & staff were super hands-on & attentive, which we really appreciated. Overall, the drinks & ambiance were the highlights for me, & I definitely wouldn't be surprised if I ended up back here again.

What a hidden gem in plain sight! Was in town for work & happened upon this place on a Monday evening & if it's this good on a Monday, I can only imagine how much more it is at the weekend. Food was fantastic, the vesper was spot on, staff are knowledgeable & attentive. Amazing & eclectic decor. Go, try the burger, you will not be disappointed!
