We visited this restaurant on a Wednesday afternoon to celebrate a friend's birthday. Unfortunately, we were informed that we were not allowed to bring out our own birthday cake. To their credit, the staff did kindly offer to store it in their fridge for the time being, but it was still disappointing, as this policy was not communicated beforehand.
We were a group of six, with two guests arriving later. While our drinks were served promptly, the food took over 45 minutes to arrive. The server explained there had been a mix-up in the kitchen & apologized, which we appreciated. However, with a reservation at 7:00 p.m., we did not finish dinner until around 10:30 p.m., which felt excessive.
Additionally, we had specifically requested no pork on one of the pizzas, but it arrived with pork & had to be sent back to be remade, adding further delay.
Overall, the restaurant itself is very beautiful, but given the service issues & mistakes with the food, we did not feel the experience was worth it.
Amazing!
Sometimes places like this with an impressive view are lacking in other areas. Not here! The view of Montreal was great & just as awesome were the service, food, & drinks. Several servers handled different states of our ordering/experience. They always arrived at just at the right time with excellent attention to detail.
This place was worth the premium price!
Meh … that's the word to describe it.
The decor & view is very nice ! 4/5 stars. The food was really not impressive . Chicken Parm was terrible. Inedible. Vodka pasta was very mediocre .
Entres also nothing stood out .
Drinks… we ordered a few martinis . Asked for a vodka one .. they said they use belvedere which I like . But I found it weird that they charged us 4$ extra per drink because of this. Same for a gin martini they say they use Hendrix only but charge 4$ extra per drink . I also found it very weird that they charged us for extra olives .. how ridiculous! Especially when the wait for each drink was incredibly long !!
So basically I won't be going back …
We had a great experience celebrating a birthday with a group of eight. The space is beautiful, the food was excellent, & the service was even better. Our waiter, Alessandro, guided us through the menu & helped us choose a well balanced selection of dishes. We ordered sharing plates for the table, which I recommend if you want to try a variety of items.
The pasta & carpaccio were outstanding. We also had a steak with potatoes that were surprisingly memorable, plus salads that rounded out the meal nicely. The drink menu was genuinely impressive. The cocktails had creative flavor combinations, nothing overly sugary, & each one was described clearly so you actually knew what you were ordering.
The tiramisu at the end was one of the best I have had in Montreal.
I will definitely be back.
What an experience! This is not your ordinary'going out to dinner night' ... This was an evening of enjoyment for the eyes (the breath taking views of Montreal from the 46th floor), the designer rich but not pretentious decor, the glass wall kitchen, the bar.... the good vibe ambience, the comfy leather chairs & then...we tasted creative or innovative, I don't know what word to use but this was not ordinary Italian food. Every dish & every bite was amazingly delicious!
Oh & the service was impeccable as well as the drinks & the wines. The endives & poched pears salade, the octopus with the little red sweet peppers, the Dorade Carpaccio, the veal crustini, the meat balls made with short ribs, the pastas & the amazing veal côtelette... The desserts, simply divine. We were a few people so we could taste everyone's plates. This evening was really a celebration for all our senses. & to top it all, Chef Gary came to ask us if everything met our expectations. The only word that came to mind was PERFECTION! BRAVO CAPPELLO & all the team. We will be back.
Had a very positive experience here!!! The place itself is gorgeous & I was so happy with all of our food & drink orders. The waiters & maître were all so kind - we got lost on the way there & couldn't make in time, but the maître was super understanding & helped us find a table within 10 minutes at most.
The only that didn't blow my mind was the garlic bread, which was just okay, but the vodka pasta & tartare entrée were divine! It's an expensive place, but worth going for a special occasion.
