Love all the details in the restaurant. Impeccable service. The food is extremely fresh, tasty, & made with care. I highly recommend the lobster pasta with fresh lobster meat. Tremendous value with big pieces of lobster throughout. The burrata was a hit, too. Nestled in Vieux Montreal, I recommend sitting next to a window to take in an immersive experience.

Had a mushroom tagliatelle - it was easily one of the worst pastas I’ve had at a restaurant. The waiter seemed inexperienced for a middle-range restaurant & spilled wine but cute atmosphere
