Sevrvice très bon digne d'un restaurant haut de gamme, malheureusement la nourriture est arrivé froide & clairement pas à la hauteur d'un restaurant de ce prestige & surtout de ce prix. Mon filet mignon n'était pas à la cuisson demandé en plus d'être froid & fade en terme de goût. Au final je ne recommande pas ce restaurant, il y à clairement mieux dans Montréal & surtout beaucoup moins dispendieux!

All posh pandering. No substance. Food is mediocre. This place is good for people who like to feel pompous & get pampered by people in suits.

Came here for dinner last night with a colleague on a business trip. We Were seated right away.

Bread, oil, petite toast bruschetta & olives were served while we looked at the menu.

Many classic selections to choose from. I had to have the pasta Bolognese, Which was very tasty. My colleague had the mushroom risotto which was also very delicious. Many protein options including A5, shanks, tomahawks, etc.

Great ambience. Was not loud & were able to hold a conversation all night. The host & their team were very attentive & courteous. Ended the night with lemon cello on the house which was a very nice touch by the host. Thank you for taking care of us!

Will definitely come back when I return.

My wife took me to Da Vinci Restaurant for my birthday. So let me give you the run down of the evening.

We shared 2 starters the Octopus & calamari. Cooking Octopus is an art. Way too easy to turn a perfectly good piece of Octopoda into a rubbery mess, well not at Da Vinci. Our chef Alessandro has mastered this practise & the Calamari were just as good.

The mains were black Cod & New York Strip loin. Our dinner was a quiet affair as we indulged in our meals. Enjoying each bite. Chef Alessandro was on his game tonight.

The service was Exemplary. Attention to detail was at the forefront of this dining experience. Carlo & Raymond were simply amazing, treating us as long lost friends & ensuring that we enjoyed every part of the evening.

My only regret is in fact my mistake. I didn't snap any pictures of our evening & no pictures of the meals.

Thank you Da Vinci we will come back.
