Le menu 8 services est complètement génial.

J'entends beaucoup parler d'un Guillaume également.

Il doit être excellent comme serveur ma fois.

Beaucoup de gens de Sorel-Tracy & des alentours vont réserver chez vous prochainement. La radio fait son oeuvre on dirait bien. Longue vie au Dorsia! Guillaume saura s'occuper de vous :)

C'était la première fois que j'allais dans un resto gastronomique. Ce fut pour moi une expérience unique. D'abord, le décor est magnifique. Tout est impeccable. On nous accueille comme des dignitaires. Le niveau d'éclairage & celui de la musique sont parfaits. En apéro, les cocktails valent déjà à eux seuls la visite. Ensuite, on nous fait passer de la section lounge à notre table.

Nous faisons la rencontre du sommelier qui nous fait ses recommandations parmi un choix de 700 bouteilles. Le relais est pris par un de nos serveurs. Chacun des huit services est présenté bien évidemment avec une description des ingrédients & leur préparation. On approfondie avec la raison de leur choix & leur provenance. S'ils ne peuvent être trouvés localement afin de satisfaire les exigences du chef, on nous explique d'où ils sont importés & pourquoi. Les plats qu'on nous apporte & qui se succèdent sont les mouvements d'une véritable symphonie pour les sens. Ils nous invitent à une première bouchée presque solennelle.

Finalement, ce qui rend l'expérience si exceptionnelle, c'est la qualité du service. Un personnel rigoureux, sympathique & passionné se souciant du moindre détail, même sans le demander. De petites choses qui, au bout du compte, font toute la différence.

Guillaume , Laurent, Léo, Lucas & tous les autres: vous avez été tout simplement parfaits.

Merci & à la prochaine!

Tout simplement sublime autant pour l'ambiance que culinaire. Une expérience à vivre minimum une fois dans sa vie. Merci a notre serveur Guillaume qui a comp?émenté avec classe cette expérience.

P.s. Aviser avec un panneau l'interruption de votre service de valets serais un gros plus.

Très belle soirée passée au Dorsia avec des très belles saveurs créatives & un service très rapide. Mention spéciale à Ryannah qui a fait notre soirée avec son énergie, charisme & attention.

My experience at Dorsia was fantastic. The service was excellent from start to finish, the team really made the whole evening feel special. The sommelier was spot on with the wine pairing & the food was delicious. But I have to say, Rihanna at the entrance completely shifted my mood the moment I walked in. She's amazing & sets the tone right away

Il était intéressant aller à la restaurant de'Américain psycho' en réalité, mais actuellement c'est un de les mieux.

La steak tartare était délicieuse, la poisson avec risotto mmm, la pomme caramel beau. Cette endroit est sur la guide Michelin, & je pense Il pourrait gagner un étoile.

That was a 5 stars experience to me & my friend. We had two drinks, both very good.
We both had steak tartare for starter (hands down the best tartare I've ever had) which was a pretty decent portion. Then we had two plates of pasta: I purposely picked the simplest one: paccheri with tomato sauce, parmesan cheese, pepper & basil, so you can really tell the quality of the ingredients. It was heavenly, the paccheri were cooked to perfection. My friend had a more elaborate pasta (can't remember now) & it was ridiculously good. We had dessert & the bill was 230$, plus I left 22% tip because the staff was amazing: very attentive & professional without being too stiff as you see in some places that confuse'high-end experience' with bloated stiffness & too much form. We felt pampered & looked after, just great. The atmosphere inside the restaurant is also beautifully balanced: we got greeted by a really lovely girl who made us feel immediately at home, & took our coats. The interior design is classy & elegant (& I mean elegant, not douchy-bro-gold-chain'elegant'), soft lights & a pleasant crowd on the younger side. I'm taking my girlfriend next week, absolutely loved it. Definitely came for the name (I love the movie) but stayed for the quality of the food & staff. Thank you guys!

We had an amazing overall dining experience at Dorsia tonight. Did the 4 course tasting menu, all of the dishes were fantastic, the decor is beautiful, & service here was flawless. This truly is a special restaurant to visit for a special occasion, we were blown away tonight & would highly recommend it here!

Phenomenal experience at Dorsia!. While it was a pre-set menu for valentine's day, it did not disappoint. The highlight however, is the attentive staff, be it the servers, hostesses or mixologist, they all distinguished themesleves with their care & attention to detail. Special shout-out to Sebastien at the bar, who was incredibly attentive & knowledgeable- made our experience memorable.

I will leave my original review up so you can understand why we returned. My first experience was so positive that I gathered some friends to return & what a disappointment. From the moment we arrived it was a terrible, terrible experience.From the way we were poorly greeted, to all dishes being barely warm, & pretty bland, it was like a totally different restaurant. Yet the price was super steep so for that reason I would no longer recommend Dorsia. We did share with management our genuine disappointment so hopefully they can level back up .. in the meantime, there are too many other amazing places to eat in Montreal!

An incredible evening & meal! This restaurant delivers on all fronts, chic ambiance, attentive staff, superb cocktails (especially the limencello martini), & incredible food! Not a surprise that they are en route to a Michelin Star. Well deserved!

Très mauvaise expérience! Dommage, car plats bien faits & bien présentés, mais le service a arrêté au milieu du repas. Un tel manque de service à terni le repas en entier.

Great meal at Dorsia. Love the environment & the service is really good my only suggestion is to be faster coming around to ask if guests want their bill, we waited a loong time for ours.

What a disappointment, we tried Dorsia yesterday & all I can think about is how did they end up with a Michelin recommendation. Just to be clear, the food was not awful but not worth the price either. The beef tartare was blend clearly missed seasoning, the cavatelli pasta were way too simple & the star of the night: the filet mignon I wish I took a picture, but basically all they cared about was the presentation so it seemed like the steak was not even left to temper which made it super dry. I'd rather have blood in my plate than a dry steak. Also there was a tiny bit of sauce that just dried on the plate you could nit even scrape it off.

As for the service it was fine, however it seemed like the staff were not communicating to each other, 3 times in the night someone came to take a drink order & 2 minutes later somebody else would come to ask again if we wanted something to drink. Is it a big deal? Of course not but not to the level of a Michelin recommendation.

The restaurant is really beautiful & the ambiance is nice, but honestly for this price point there are much better restaurants in the city.
