Guests frequently praise the eclectic and flavorful menu, with standout items like the beef short ribs, tuna tacos, and creative brunch options often highlighted for their generous portions and beautiful presentation. While some diners mention that the pricing is on the higher side, the majority feel the quality of the food, the sophisticated yet energetic atmosphere, and the exceptional, attentive service make it well worth the cost. The restaurant is consistently recommended as a top choice for celebrations, casual dates, and family outings, thanks to its welcoming team and consistent ability to provide a memorable dining experience.
Way overhyped for what it actually is. Food'quality' is good - good quality meats & vegetables. Flavors are not good (I know that's subjective), plating is not good - way too large for the tables, no room on the table. Very large, yet pretty bare, plates.
Service was mediocre (& I'm being kind here). The restaurant was empty - barely 4 tables. We were all seated/crammed one next to the other. We couldn't get a booth'just in case a big group came over' - although we had reserved. Waitress was not friendly & didn't check on us regularly. Manager was arguing with another table. You are not allowed substitutions... Basically, everything was'no','no','no'.
If you are to spend >100$ per person (without drinks) take your money elsewhere for better tasting food & way better service.
Absolutely loved this place, staff was stellar, the chef came out & chatted a bit. The fork & knife Caesar salad was incredible, I've come back home & it's the main thing that stuck out to me. No idea how a salad struck me so well, but it was amazing.
I had a steak sandwich too, just to try, wasn't my favorite, but I don't think I like steak sandwiches, I was just trying something new. The bread was amazing though & freshly made. The drinks were also very good, & the bar tender was very friendly.
Unlike much of Montreal the music wasn't exploding my eardrums & it was a nice comfy spot. Does close a little early, but highlight recommend if you're looking for a bite!

I think it's the first time I give 5 stars to a restaurant but this!!!!! The vibe is nice the staffs are nice. They recommend good things & also the music wasn't as loud as I thought it would be, so you could actually make a conversation with ur friends. The Bartender Zack ( don't know how to write his name) THE BESTTTTTT!!!! The drinks are good like hella good & he is sweet! Will come back for sure.
I was by myself & sat at the bar, not sure what to expect. I just went in because it was dinnertime & I was passing by, but the food & drinks were excellent. Zev & Lauren, the two bartenders were incredible! They were so friendly & I had a great time chatting with them. Usually when I go out to eat by myself I just eat my meal quickly & leave, but I had such a nice time that I even ordered dessert. (The oreo milkshake is delicious)
I was searching for a place for a light meal near our hotel. This diner bar popped up on my radar. Didn't expect this place to be suitable for kids. They even have a kids menu (not a physical one but a verbal one).
When we arrived, we felt under dressed since there were patrons in smart casual attire. We were immediately guided upstairs where there were casually dressed people like us. We notice a few tables with families with kids. Our kids ordered mac & cheese unfortunately did not taste good & the burger wasn't the best. They ordered an orange juice but got apple. Kids didn't even have the appetite for dessert.
The music was too loud to even communicate properly which led to a miscommunication - mix up of an order. Thankfully they rectified it.
Overall this place wasn't for us, but I guess others might say otherwise.
