What are these low reviews??? I can't wait to go back. Food? excellent. Wine? Amazing. Service? Fantastic. Playlist? On point!

At the end of the night the chefs provided my husband & I w/ a list of other spots we should check out while in MTL.

Can't wait for my next trip to the city to dine here again.

waste of money & an evening. Reservation at 6:45, the last course was finally served after 10pm. The whole restaurant was waiting for their orders, everyone staring at the kitchen. It took more than 30mins between each service, we were so hungry & no way of knowing it would take 3.5h to eat on a Thursday. Portions were tiny. even the sliced tomahawk was only 2 dollar coin sized 5mm thick pieces of meat. At the start I alerted I could eat scallops (they don't say what the tasting menu is), everyone got ravioli stuffed with lobster scallop & shrimp, & they made me an oversalted straight tomato sauce on a couple fettuccine pasta noodles. Sorry but at 30$ an average cost per tasting plate why is micheline restaurant only able to come up with 1$ of noodles & a 2$ spoonful of tomatoes, basil & salt. The only good thing I can say is the waitress was smiling the whole time & the desserts were good, but honestly the value wasn't there, the experience was meh, & the serving time was absurd for a place that only does a tasting menu.

Une déception indescriptible : 3 heures pour manger des plats vraiment & réellement sans intérêt gustatif.

Une déception en tous points.
La cuisine n'a aucun intérêt ; c'est hors de prix pour ce qui est servi. C'est prétentieux & insipide.
35min entre chaque plat, interminable. Surtout vu le contenu de chaque plat. C'est trop sucré ou trop salé, il n'y a aucun équilibre des saveurs.
Cela n'a rien d'un gastronomique.

Fuyez. Ce restaurant portait un nom finalement annonciateur : l'enfer.

Mes attentes etaient elevées & elles n'ont pas ete atteintes. Les cuisiniers etaient bien rodés & connaissaient les plats, le chef etait present en salle mais ne decrivait pas les plats, il aurait eu le temps nous etions 8 dans la salle. Ca ete long avoir les cocktails, le meilleur service a ete le 1er excellent, bien raconté & presenté... Les autres ok mais parfois trop salé ou couleur fade. Accord de boissons etaient ok. Nous sommes habitués aux bonnes tables & ce resto nous a decu.
