Loud, & overpriced. Small portions too.

Cool place to grab a drink, but I wouldn't eat here again.

Comment dire , ambiance ordinaire mais surtout , retourner à l'école de cuisine. Calmar frit décevant, pâtes sans saveur…etc. C'est plutôt un endroit pour prendre un drink après le travail que pour prendre un repas.Service comment dire , pas au point.

Had a drink & pasta both were incredible! Service was on point & very friendly. Quick & attentive service was a nice change of place to some places in Montreal.

We found this place on our last night in Montreal. We were able to get a reservation for that evening but definitely book in advance. Our waitress Kiara (sorry for misspelling) was wonderful & very attentive. She made great suggestions & recommended a delicious cheesecake dessert. She had told us the restaurant is fairly new, but feels like the place has been there for years with how well everyone worked together. The cocktail list had flavorful drinks, & my friend really enjoyed the array of wines they offered.

We started with fresh focaccia which was baked well. We then ordered the gnocchi which again tasted delicious. My friends both had the chicken Parm which they enjoyed. I had the cacio de pepe which was done to my liking. Will definitely return next time we are in the city.

Ambiance:
A beautiful exterior of a corner heritage building with an impressive entry. Sat at the bar which was comfortable & cosy.
Main room seemed lively, with a bright bar area at the front & tables proceeding down the room, flanked by an open kitchen. The two bar seats we had were comfortable & not too cramped, with solid stools but no under counter hangers for bags. Service:
Initially was very friendly with a warm welcome & a laid back approach to get things started. Unfortunately it detiorated from there.
Drinks:
A small selection of specialty cocktails plus an even smaller offering of wines by the glass. I had a 5oz glass of an Italian Chardonnay which cost $19 (bottle retail is under $30). Small wine list - chose an Antinori Chianti Reserve which incurred an acceptable 200% markup.

Food:
Starters were a beef carpaccio, which was small for $28 but exceptional quality & taste.
Beet salad with blood orange & ricotta sounded better than it tasted. The ricotta was piped around the salad & tasted more like a Kraft cream cheese.
Also ordered was home made focaccia which was exceptional with a high quality EVOO liberally poured over top.

Mains:
Not so good. Dishes ordered:
Cappelli with rapini & sausage:
Pasta very al-dente with no spiciness from the sausage. Very bland & stodgy.

Chicken Saltamboca: Chicken was way too thick & tasted like a fried chicken breast wrapped in tasteless prosciutto. The sauce was equally bland with a few sprigs of tasteless sage.

Potatoes: acceptable but boring

Dessert: Not taken

Overall experience:
Started well but deteriorated over the evening with it becoming a really clique atmosphere developing between owners (?) & their friends, which created a non-inclusive environment for the minority at the bar.
Admittedly it's a new venture & will take a lot more staff training, but there needs to be a more overall professional approach to be taken. Less of the'buddy' atmosphere & more attention to creating solid regulars who you'll need to become your bread & butter later on.
Good luck guys - unfortunately we won't be coming back.
