Toutes les amabilités quand il n'y a pas grand monde, pour le premier soir, c'était nickel. Les soirs où c'est blindé, c'est une autre affaire, pour le second soir, chou blanc, & surtout vous n'êtes plus rien. Dommage.... Sinon, très bonne cuisine & les vins sont bons.
Très bonne expérience. Les plats sont assez goûteux en format à partager. Les assiettes sont néanmoins petites nous avons du beaucoup commander. Les courgettes sauce au poivre sont décevantes, les courgettes n'ont pas de goût & une sauce au poivre qui est très liquide & ressemble à de l'eau. Cependant, à part ce plat tout était excellent. Mention spéciale pour la suite ou serveuse qui est venu nous installer en terrasse aujourd'hui. En revanche, à part elle, le service n'est pas très présent presque inexistant. Il est dommage de ne pas avoir une carte des vins physique, ne sachant pas vraiment quoi commander il est beaucoup plus pratique de lire le catalogue de vins disponible que de demander à la personne en charge. Finalement j'ai juste pris ce que j'étais habitué de prendre alors que j'aurai sûrement testé quelque chose de nouveau si j'avais pu lire l'ensemble de la carte des vins.
Je recommande vivement ce restaurant en terme d'ambiance, la terrasse est super, pas bruyante.
Le meilleur bar à Montréal!!! L'ambiance est incroyable & le service est excellent! L'équipe est très chaleureuse & offre de très bonnes recommandations! La nourriture est absolument délicieuse (mention spéciale au poulet piri piri miam!) & la carte des cocktails est géniale!
One of the worst dining experiences of my life. I came to have dinner here for best friends birthday two nights ago, we had terrible service, we were ridiculed & insulted by the staff. They are still open because of their location & terrace. Don't let their good reviews fool you, there's better restaurants if you continue walking down on Laurier & on St-laurent street. They have no respect for their customers.
This is what happened.
They sat my friends & I down at the bar because there was no space else. We were four. We put our name down for a table. For an hour, we saw other groups of people getting tables, while we were four stuck at the bar. The waitress finally came to my friend to tell us we had a table on the terrace. My friend said she had asked for a table indoors. The waitress said there wasn't any table available, my friend corrected her & said we saw her seating groups for the passed hour indoors. My friend asked kindly to not be lied to, the waitress apologised. We then got sat & had been waiting to order food. We asked three waiters before getting our menus outside. I then ordered a rose which took 40 minutes to get, the same one I had indoors, might I add. I had to ask three different people to get it. We finally ordered. Also took an additional 30 minutes to receive our food. Quality of food is good, not the best quality. We finally complain that we had been waiting for hours for our food & drinks & the waitress to apologise comes w tequila shooters. They were terrible. We ask to pay, the bills had to be corrected 3 times before they were correct. We asked to speak to the manager because we had enough at this point. The most experienced waiter comes & tells us he didn't see anything but he'll gives us more shots, he comes back 20 minutes later to say he can't they won't let him give us shots. We said this was ridiculous & we wanted to speak to the manager. Him & the other waitress who served us left us laughing & went inside.
At this point we're beside ourselves, they send another waiter & the co-owner comes, which is the same co-owner of taverne Atlantic (another Montreal restaurant that has no respect for their customers). They said they can't do anything for us because they didn't see what happened, we said we're unhappy & we'll leave a bad review. They said sorry & they will come back on the terrace with the number of the owner. They never did come back. Here we are.
