Pire expérience à Montréal.

Je sais que mon avis ne changera probablement rien, mais je tiens quand même à le partager.

Nous sommes des étudiantes à Montréal & nous aimons découvrir de nouveaux endroits & de nouvelles terrasses, surtout pendant l'été. Voici ce qui s'est passé.

Notre amie est arrivée la première au restaurant. Le gérant lui a interdit de s'asseoir sur la terrasse sans réservation. Elle nous a donc écrit & j'ai immédiatement réservé une table sur la terrasse.

À notre arrivée, il n'y avait que nous deux sur la terrasse, en plus d'une autre table occupée à l'autre extrémité. Pourtant, personne ne nous a adressé un regard. Le personnel (le gérant ainsi que deux serveurs, un blond & un autre plus jeune) évitait même le contact visuel avec nous, alors que nous étions clairement prêtes à commander & que nous avions faim. Personnellement, je revenais de l'université & je n'avais rien mangé de la journée.

Puis, un grand groupe de personnes est arrivé. Ils ont reçu un accueil très chaleureux, un menu spécial & toute l'attention du personnel. Pendant ce temps, nous attendions toujours. Les sourires étaient au rendez-vous pour eux, mais pas pour nous. C'est vrai qu'ils avaient l'air plus fortunés, mais la sensation que nous avons ressentie était extrêmement désagréable. C'est la première fois de ma vie que je me sens traitée ainsi dans un restaurant.

Après que pratiquement tout le monde ait été servi, une serveuse de l'intérieur est finalement venue prendre notre commande. Les deux serveurs remplissaient les carafes d'eau des autres tables, mais jamais la nôtre. Chaque fois que nous demandions quelque chose, nous avions l'impression de ne pas être prises au sérieux.

Je suis certaine de ne pas revenir, à moins qu'il y ait un changement radical dans le service. C'est dommage, car l'endroit est très agréable & j'habite à Westmount, donc il m'est très accessible.

Une expérience très décevante.

I adore creamy pasta, but I had the worst I have ever ordered from a restaurant here. It came recommended to us, we were very disappointed, we couldn't eat much of it.

We went with friends last night & had a great time. My fennel & citrus salad was fresh & flavourful, the lasagna was very good & my fiance's pizza was amazing. We will come back for sure

Loved my experience there. The food & ambiance were really nice. The reason I'm writing this review is because of the servers. The service was impeccable. They were genuinely sweet & respectful all along. I misunderstood one of the ingredients so I couldn't eat the plate. They were super understanding & didn't even charge me for it. I really appreciated the gesture, thank you again. Would totally recommend this place.

Waitress was very very nice & genuine. However, the food was very disappointing, especially given the prices…pizza had hardly any sauce or cheese & very dry. The New York steak was very chewy & came with no vegetables at all & a little mash potatoes, for 65$… not worth it.
