Ok so as a top mtl guide I rarely these days find gems like this that really meet my expectation to this point. First off a big thank you to Remus for his amazing service & great drinks suggestions. Give that nice guy a free drink on the house for his good service. Secondly, the place was super cozy. The food was really hitting the spot for me, simple, but many flavors & with the drinks they were awesome. I will say most bars I've been to in mtl have very simple finger foods so to see a bar have a nice resto menu was really awesome! I am going to be back here many times, I really enjoyed it. I did a reservation the day of & it was quiet, so I was really happy, but other days there may be many people.

Was recommended the place from some people in the city, & wow am I glad we listened. Such a warm & intriguing atmosphere with live music (at least the night we went) & the open kitchen was fun to peak over at time to time. Food & drinks were outstanding, & service was welcoming & laid back - making it a very comfortable & fun night out while visiting.
