Paloma was outstanding! She looked after us with great attention to detail. She was personable, helpful, & paid a lot of attention to ensuring the pace of the meal was what we wanted. I would definitely come again, in part because the ambiance was romantic & our table was perfect, , but mostly because of the amazing Paloma!

Salads were overdressed & Parmesan crisp not crispy. Pasta & risotto were overcooked & tasted like they were reheated in microwave, not cooked for us.
Restaurant was pretty empty for a Saturday night. Should have been a hint.

Absolutely horrible! Made reservations for Christmas Eve dinner 1 month before for our trip. They called 2hrs before our reservation saying they were closed. Unacceptable! Had to scramble at the last minute to get reservations on a major holiday.

A fun restaurant before a Habs game. We were allowed to park close by & the resto gave us a voucher to cover the cost of parking. The food was generally good. Appetizers were delicious. We tried the Calamari Fritti, Salsiccia Peperonata & finally Zucchini Fritti. The main dishes we had the Ossobuco di Vitello with risotto milanese. We found the veal to be very fatty.
Also the risotto was lacking taste. The other dish we tried was the Melanzane alla Siciliana. It was very good however not very filling. Probably a good idea to have a little pasta with it.
Overall I enjoyed our dining experience.

Horrible experience. Rude manager & the food below average. Way overpriced for what you are served.
No one to greet you at the door, you just stand there waiting! & waiting!

La nourriture est bonne, rien à dire là-dessus. En revanche, la fin de l'expérience a été très désagréable. Nous avons payé 245 $ pour deux personnes, ce qui est déjà un montant élevé. J'ai laissé un pourboire de 5 $, qui est un choix personnel.
Le serveur s'est montré fâché & m'a dit que « c'était écrit que c'était 30 $ » & que je devais payer ce montant en pourboire. Or, les pourboires ne sont pas une obligation mais un choix du client, surtout quand aucun frais de service obligatoire n'est clairement indiqué.
Nous n'avons pas mangé gratuitement. Forcer ou faire pression sur les clients pour un pourboire est inacceptable.

Delicious food, from appetizers to mains to dessert. Attentive staff. An upscale & elevated experience without pretension. Some of the tables are situated quite close together which was the only drawback. Highly recommend this spot for a special date night.
