The food was delicious & the portions were HUGE! I ordered pasta (can't remember the name) but it was with chicken, spinach, olives, etc…. It could have fed three of us. So a good place for sharing. My only negative point was that it took a really long time to get anyone to come to the table, then a long time until we could place drink orders, & finally food orders. We had a reservation at 6:30 & only got out of there at 10:00 because that's how long it took to get the food & eat it. Also, half the table got their cocktails while the other half had to wait about 10 more minutes. Food came in staggered as well. But all in all, the food was hot & good. & if you don't mind waiting & eating staggered, then you're good!

Good pizza about 20$ with no drinks. Other choices available (pastas, meats, etc), typically you will spend between 20-40$ for your meal.
Service was great, no pressure to leave as we were catching up with friends.
I would come back here again.

Stopped in for lunch on our way out of Montreal on a Saturday with a party of five (4 adults, 1 child).

There was no one at the front when we first walked in, but we were acknowledged shortly after & seated promptly. We were seated at a white cloth tablecloth table, which gave a nice home-style feel, though I did question consistency since not all tables had them.

I did have to ask for a kids' menu for my 8-year-old, which felt like a small detail that could have been anticipated.

Service overall was strong. Our waitress was attentive, especially with drink refills, & maintained good energy throughout.

We ordered a good variety: chipotle mango chicken, Jack Daniel's chicken, short ribs, mashed potatoes, spaghetti, penne with meatballs, a fettuccine Alfredo kids' meal, plus the soup of the day options - minestrone & potato.

The minestrone was very good. The potato soup was okay but a little underwhelming. Portion sizes were generous across the board, including the kids' meal.

The short ribs weren't what we expected - more of a roast-style preparation without a bone. While it was mentioned they weren't classic ribs, a clearer explanation would have helped set expectations.

The Shirley Temples felt more like syrup & 7-Up without the classic citrus component. Coffee was average at best - I'd skip it next time.

They brought out complimentary mini cannolis for the table, which was a thoughtful touch & appreciated.
Total before tip was $197, & we left $100 in appreciation for the attentive service.

Overall, a solid lunch experience with generous portions & attentive service, with a few small opportunities to elevate attention to detail.

Tonight we tried Del Frisco for my birthday & it was absolutely one of the best meals I've ever had. I had the Novello Chicken with Minestrone Soup side dish. Both were excellent, especially the Novello Chicken.

We also tried mocktails & they were sublime. It's always nice when restaurants offer fancy non alcoholic drinks because soda is kind of redundant. My compliments to the chef, bartender & the friendly staff.

FYI : The plate in the picture is Novello Chicken & Vegan Tacos.

It was a Wednesday, not a very busy day really, but the service was slow, a little slower than slow, it was a table of 10 persons & we were arriving in a space of 20 minutes, finally we ordered some drinks & cocktails, after the drinks & having previously been reviewing the menu ...so it took 35 minutes for the waitress to come to take the food order & we ordered as starters meat balls in sauce with Cheese over & eggplant lasagna... & only then we knew that the Chef was not preparing the lasagna, which we should have known from minute 1... so she never told us, that way we would not have created false expectations & not wasted our time, but we ordered something else, after another 30 minutes at least, the starters arrived, the meat balls had an excellent flavor combined with the sauce & cheese, the texture was firm but soft to the palate, the first ball was really good, I was really enjoying it, the second came with a surprise, a piece of eggshell that the sound & sensation In the mouth, it's one of the most unpleasant thing you can find in a preparation, that killed the balls & ruined the moment (see images). However, my wife's starter replacement wasn't bad at all. Then, 42 more minutes passed before they came to collect the plates, & just over 15 minutes later the pancetta sandwich finally arrived, by that time we had no more appetite, then it took a good 40 minutes more to come & pick the dishes & ask about the desserts that only one of us ordered, then we asked for the sandwich that we had not touched, to take away, & after another 20 minutes or so, he came with the machine's bill.
We arrived at 6:22 pm & left at 9:13 pm. A long stay & not a full pleasant experience, although I can't say the rest of us weren't satisfied, but I didn't even ask. In short, I was left hoping for something better based on the reviews I had read.
The atmosphere is good & the decor is pleasant, perhaps with better waitressing & less carelessness from the Chef it would have been an excellent experience, just details could had change it all.
