It was a wonderful meal with very attentive staff. We had 14 people in our party including 7 young teens. All were taken care of expediently. The atmosphere was great with an old city flair. Cozy & inviting. Would recommend as a great place to attend whether your group is large or small.

Incredible Italian food in Old Montreal. The charcuterie board was out of this world. Impeccable service. We went here two nights in a row it was that good. Also, the music/vibe is the perfect date night spot. Highly recommend!

Restaurant charmant, bonne ambiance, bon service, mais j'aurais aimé avoir dans mon assiette les boccocinis que le serveur avait mentionné lors de la description du plat. A $ 42.00 pour une assiette de saumon, tout devrait y être.

Second time here & got sick again. First time i thought it was something I had earlier on but this time 2 of us got sick. Service was great. Music (too much hip hop) was irritating.
