Bar Dominion is widely praised for its elegant ambience, excellent cocktails, and strong oyster and shareable plates, making it a popular spot for date nights, friends' evenings, and pre game drinks before a Canadiens game; guests highlight attentive, friendly service and a lively yet refined atmosphere, with cocktails and bites such as calamari, oysters, and the parmesan fries often singled out, while some reviews mention high prices, occasional slow or crowded service, and mixed experiences with certain dishes like burgers or the party platter, as well as noise on busy nights; overall it feels like a reliable destination for drinks, ambiance, and a polished casual dining bar experience.
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.
Super belle expérience au Bar Dominion! La nourriture était fraîche, savoureuse & vraiment excellente. L'ambiance est agréable & le service très sympathique. Une adresse que je recommande sans hésiter pour les fans de fruit de mer 🦞

Toute une expérience. L'endroit a un charme incroyable, la cuisine y est excellente le service impeccable & une ambiance de feu avant la game des canadiens! Je recommande fortement!
Le restaurant est jolie mais le service n'étais pas rapide .
J'ai prit le tartare de boeuf & commander du pain en extra.
Le tartare n'étais malheurement pas de mon gout mais les calamars étaient bon.
Merci.

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!
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.. !!!
