Nous sommes allés chez Dorsia pour célébrer l'anniversaire d'une amie. Le début a été un peu mouvementé, mais l'équipe a vraiment su transformer la situation & rendre notre expérience très agréable. Le service était impeccable & notre serveur très professionnel & courtois.
Gros coup de coeur pour la pieuvre : honnêtement, l'une des meilleures que j'ai mangées de ma vie! Elle était tellement bonne que je ne voulais pas du tout la partager. 😂
& si vous aimez les fraises, la tartelette aux fraises est également excellente. Une très belle expérience au final.

The food was good The bill for four was over 750 canadien while good not 5 star. Service was very slow waited one hour & forty five before got entree. We only had two cocktails in that price. Wagu was excellent. Steak tartare good but not outstanding nice decor got busy & noise is a problem

The crowd seems to attract a more upper-class clientele, mostly people around 25-45 as well as families. Expect to pay for two around 180-250$ Because it's so popular, it gets very crowded, which unfortunately makes the space quite loud. Also toilets were bit unique theres no common space to take pictures with you girls only a mirror inside the toilet.❤?

The server was very polite & took the time to explain every dish, which I appreciated. However, when it came time to pay, things became chaotic. We waited about 30 minutes for the bill before another server eventually stepped in & processed the payment.

Burrata Stracciatella - 7/10
Nothing particularly surprising or daring, but exactly what you'd expect from the dish. The peeled candy tomatoes were a nice touch & showed attention to detail. The green beans felt a bit random & didn't add much to the overall plate.

Octopus - 6/10
I've definitely had better octopus elsewhere. It was slightly chewy, & the balance of the dish felt off. The quinoa dominated the plate while the sauce was quite limited, making it feel a little dry. The presentation was beautiful, but the way the octopus was plated was somewhat inconvenient to eat.

Overall, it's a nice spot for a night out & I can see why it's popular. That said, it doesn't feel like the kind of restaurant that becomes someone's go-to favorite. It delivers a pleasant experience, but doesn't leave a particularly memorable impression.
