Notre réservation était à 20h. Nous étions un groupe de 14 personnes & avions donc opté pour un menu à partager. Les premiers plats sont arrivés vers 20h45. Les portions étaient minuscules (presque misérables), & en plus, on nous a apporté 2 à 4 assiettes par plat pour toute la table (par exemple, 4 bols de 3 ailes de poulet chacun, soit 12 portions au total pour 14 personnes). Il a fallu attendre environ 25 minutes avant que les prochains plats ne soient servis. La serveuse, bien que gentille, était extrêmement lente. Nous avons dû lui demander 4 fois un seau à glace pour rafraîchir notre vin ; elle a fini par nous l'apportez, mais la bouteille était presque vide à ce moment. Obtenir de l'eau ou attirer l'attention du personnel était également un vrai parcours du combattant (ils font leur minimum & s'en vont sans même demander si tout va bien). La plupart d'entre nous ont fini par abandonner, désemparés. Deux petites salades, des ailes de poulet, un plat de poisson (avec à peine du poisson), un plat de courgettes papillon, & environs 150 $ plus tard (menu de groupe, boissons, taxes & pourboires compris), nous sommes repartis profondément déçus. Nous sommes repartis extrêmement déçus par les plats proposés, les portions, le goût & le service. J'y étais allé il y a une dizaine d'années & j'avais été tout aussi déçu. J'y suis retourné cette fois-ci pour l'anniversaire d'une amie &, malheureusement, la nourriture & le service n'étaient pas meilleurs (probablement pires). Je n'y remettrai jamais les pieds, même pas si on me payait !

Cerise sur le gâteau : pressé de partir, je suis allé régler l'addition avant même que la serveuse n'apporte les factures du reste de notre groupe. À peine cinq minutes plus tard, elle m'en apporte une autre. Je lui dis que je viens de payer la mienne, & elle semble perplexe. Je me souviens alors qu'il s'agissait de l'addition d'un ami, déjà réglée lorsqu'il est parti environ une heure auparavant (le service était interminable & il avait dû partir, il a donc payé & était parti).

Du vol pour dire le moindre !
-------------------------
Reservation was at 8pm, we were a group of 14 people so it was a sharing menu for all. First set of few dishes started coming at around 8:45pm, portions for extremely small (almost pityful), & on top of that they brought 2-4 dishes per item for the entire table (eg. 4 bowls of 3 chicken wings in each, total of 12, for a group of 14). There was about 25 mins wait time until the next set of few dishes came out. Waitress was kind was super slow, had to ask 4 times for an ice bucket to chill our wine - she finally brought it but the bottle was almost done by then. It was also a challenge to get water, or to get any of the staff's attention (they do what they have to & walk away without asking if everything is ok). Most of us gave up because it just felt hopeless. 2 small salad dishes, chicken wings, a fish dish (with barely any fish), a dish with butterflied zucchini, & about $150 later (group menu + drinks & taxes/tips), we left utterly disappointed in the suggested items, portions, taste, & service. I had gone there about 10 years ago & it was equally disappointing. I went this time for a friend's birthday & sadly, the restaurant's food & service was not any better (probably worse). You couldn't pay me to go back!

Cherry on top: I was anxious to leave so I went to pay the waitress before she brought everyone's bills. Barely 5 mins later she brings me another bill at my seat. I told her I just paid my bill & she seemed confused. I then remembered it was a friend's bill, which was already paid when he left about an hour prior (food was taking too long & he had to leave, so he paid the bill & left).

Theft to say the least!

I enjoyed a fairly quick & also satisfying meal at Cadet. The service was quick & very personable. The staff had asked specifically if I was heading to a performance or not so that they could put a rush on my dishes if needed. I settled on the focaccia bread, the zucchini starter, & the cod. Everything was absolutely delicious! Delicious! The only thing for me was that it did feel quite rushed & even with me sitting at the bar, it's didn't feel as cozy or as friendly as I had hoped.

Very nice restaurant & bar, lively & buzzing, with very interesting modern food options. Excellent choices for seafood in particular, & the cocktail menu was excellent, staff were very friendly. Worth a visit for a more upscale night out.

Beef tartare was good. Otherwise, we were not impressed by the other plates we ordered (croquette morue, scallops & squash).

For being so expensive, the food kinda misses the mark. We got the beet salad, focaccia, the croquettes, the beef tartare & the lamb. Over all things were okay but the attention to details was missing. About half the lamb piece was fat which was kinda disappointing. The croquettes came with a sauce which was a little tasteless. Same with the sauce that came with the focaccia. We got a chocolate tart for dessert & it was okay. Not too bad. Can't go wrong with peanut butter & chocolate. The drinks were nice but the attention to detail was missing. Eg no cherries for old fashioneds. Like I get it different places make it different but if it's in the classic recipe & we're ordering a classic drink... would be nice to just include it in the drink. The service was wonderful & fast :)

The food was exquisite & we were very impressed by the service. This was our second visit to Cadet &, three years after our first meal there, we were happy to see that the restaurant maintains a high & consistent standard.

Outstanding, highly recommend. Cocktails ok, not great, but that's pretty typical for Montreal. Food is *exceptional*. Go!

Fun for a date night & fairly affordable. Leeks, zucchini & chocolate tart were fantastic. We also had the shrimp, croquettes, & broccoli which were good. We had a little issue with one of the cocktails ordered but they took it back & remade it without hesitation when it was mentioned which I appreciate (the remake was good).
