I sincerely hope the owner reads this, because our experience was simply atrocious.

Waiting an hour between each bite is unacceptable. We arrived at 6:00 PM, & by 11:00 PM, we had only received three small bites. One of them was so inedible that I had to go to the bathroom to spit it out - it was literally impossible to swallow.

Hungry & discouraged, our plans to go out & enjoy the rest of the evening were ruined. All that was left was to pay a bill of several hundred dollars… & conclude this so-called'experience.'

When we asked the server about the slow pace of the service, he admitted the kitchen was poorly prepared: too many employees without direction, an ill-thought-out menu, & an overstaffed but disorganized kitchen team.

We paid a very high price for a mix of unprofessionalism & culinary pretension.
Avoid. Period.

The best meal we ate in Montreal among several excellent tasting menus. Sit at the bar, talk to the team, a great experience, the multi-layered, multi-textured chocolate dessert was the best thing I've eaten in the last year as a sweet course, complex, not overly sweet, truly a masterwork.

Dies ist einer der besten kulinarischen Adressen, die Montreal derzeit zu bieten hat: eine handwerklich Ausgezeichnete Küche auf Basis differenzierter Geschmacksnoten, und ein professioneller Service in angenehm unkomplizierter Atmosphäre.

On visite l'endroit pour une expérience gastronomique. Une minutie dans les présentations & les saveurs sont au rendez-vous. La facture est en conséquence. Harald au service impeccable. Accord des vins pas toujours à notre goût.
Pas très invitant cette tête de mort au dessert mais je présume significatif avec le nom de l'établissement

C'était très bon, mais à ce prix, c'est la base. Ça manquait un peu de créativité. Les sauces étaient un peu salées. Le service & l'ambiance manquaient de cohérence.
