We had a delightful experience. The food was fabulous. John provided excellent service & John's bright convivial chatter just added that touch of magic to our evening.
Great place with a nice & varied menu. On the fancier side so prepare your budget accordingly.
The charcuterie board plate to share could've easily been for 4 ppl. We were stuffed.
Très bon service de la part d'Alexis.bonne nourriture. L'entrée d'artichaut est savoureuse & fraiche. C'était un peu tranquille comme ambiance mais le décor est soigné. Merci
Nous y sommes allés pour un brunch. Le restaurant est magnifique ! En général la nourriture est savoureuse, mais les oeufs bénédictine étaient mal cuits, le blanc d'oeuf était encore liquide... J'ai aussi mangé une chocolatine, plutôt sèche. Le service est assez lent, il a fallu demander du sucre pour le café, du sel, & du poivre, & cela a pris du temps a arriver. Le café était par contre délicieux. Je recommande quand même mais c'est dommage car pour un endroit aussi beau & classe, on s'attend a une cuisine & un service impeccable.

The reception was welcoming & our waiter was excellent & super friendly, really fun to talk to, & helpful with ordering, he was the highlight of the night. The wine was also very good.
Dinner overall was good. The steak was enjoyable, though not outstanding. The biggest disappointment was the salads ordered. Despite some effort in presentation, the ingredients
/mix felt basic & lacked flavor. They were easily the weakest part of the meal, also some item was sold out, having special menu & not having enough. You know
One staff member who refilled our water & cleared plates seemed visibly irritated & handled dishes quite roughly. It didn't ruin the evening, but the display was noticeable.
Overall, the service from our waiter was great, dinner & wine were good, but the salads need improvement. I expected a bit more from the experience, though I still appreciate the effort

Très bon brunch au 701 pour l'événement ! Le menu à 29 $ est vraiment intéressant & les plats étaient très bons. Le service était agréable.
Seul petit bémol : le lieu est assez bruyant, ce qui peut rendre les discussions un peu difficiles.
Mais dans l'ensemble, une très bonne expérience, je recommande !
J'ai mangé à Brasserie 701 lors d'un bachelorette au début du mois de Mars. J'ai choisi le Benedictine au canard confit du menu Happening Gourmand. C'était bon. Aussi leurs patates déjeunés sont excellentes. Par contre, le servie était long. Finalement, l'ambiance est chaleureuse & la décoration est une expérience à elle-même.
Thick cappuccino with the milk at the correct temperature. It's a simple thing that mean a lot. Eggs Benedict also definitely much better than your average. Something about the sauce or the ham elevated it. The interior boasts excellent window views & the ceilings have ornate plaster molding. Great service too.
