Probably my favourite restaurant in Montreal. Stand outs were the Rack of lamb, & lamb dumplings (Shish Borek). Even the ice cream with cotton candy was unique & memorable. Service was impeccable. Rack of lamb took awhile to come out but not an issue given how good the food was. Highly recommend

Way too over priced & overhyped. Similar & better food at other restaurants in Montreal like Kaza Maza. They also emptied a bottle of wine & finished the glass from a second bottle in same glass which is not acceptable especially at an'upscale' restaurant. Would definitely not come back or recommend.

Not even close to what they used to serve when they were on Park Ave. The love that you could once taste in their food has now faded into high volume, high-priced fare built on a past reputation. There are better options available.

Sadly, Damas has been relegated to one of the many restaurants where you go to be seen, but don't go for the cuisine.

J'ai connu le Damas sur du Parc il y a 15 ans. C'était un resto absolument mémorable avec des plats savoureux un personnel chaleureux & courtois. Très dommage de voir ce resto perdre son cachet. Aujourd'hui c'est à plus grande échelle & la qualité n'y est plus. Très déçu de n'avoir plus de choix de poissons. Le repas était ordinaire & pas comme avant. Nous n'avions pas de couteaux à steak pour des grillades. On en a demandé mais ce fut une longue attente & le repas était froid. Le serveur ne semblait pas connaître la carte des vins & le service médiocre. Un resto dans cette catégorie de prix doit faire mieux pour garder sa clientèle.

Unfortunately, this was a very disappointing experience. Due to a power outage on Saturday, our reservation was first pushed back by 30 minutes & then ultimately cancelled. While we understand that a power outage is out of the restaurant's control, the lack of customer service & willingness to resolve the situation was frustrating!

We had driven down from up north specifically for this reservation, yet there was no real effort to accommodate us, provide clear updates or offer alternatives. Communication was poor, & we were left waiting with no clear direction before the reservation was cancelled altogether…

Unexpected issues happen, but how they're handled matters. A bit of empathy, proactive communication, or an attempt to make things right would have gone a long way especially given the distance we traveled. Sadly, that was missing here, & it left us with a very negative impression of the restaurant & management.

J'y suis allée avec ma fille pour fêter son anniversaire. Nous avons pris le menu dégustation au brunch. La nourriture était délicieuse bien présentée & que dire du service hors paire. J'y retournerai à tout les jours tellement c'est délicieux.
