Dorsia absolutely exceeded expectations. We originally stopped in just for drinks, no plans for a full dinner but despite being a group of six, they were incredibly accommodating & welcomed us without hesitation. What started as a casual stop turned into the best experience of the night.

We began with drinks, & every single one was exceptional beautifully crafted, balanced, & memorable. After taking a look at the menu, most of us couldn't resist & ended up ordering food as well & I'm so glad we did. The dishes were truly outstanding, easily matching the quality of the cocktails.

One standout for me personally was the pickled stuffed olives completely mind-blowing & unexpectedly one of the highlights of the night.

The service elevated everything even further. Our server was kind, attentive, & gave excellent recommendations throughout the evening. But what really made the experience unforgettable was Lucas. He handled our lively, chatty group with ease even as the restaurant quieted down & still managed to provide a personalized & thoughtful experience. He went out of his way to walk my friend through the variety of martinis they offer, which was a really nice touch.

Dorsia delivers on every level drinks, food, & service. What started as a spontaneous visit turned into a night we'll all remember. Definitely a top-tier spot & one I'd highly recommend.

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!

Toute une expérience ! Le service est impeccable du début à la fin. La cuisine, que l'on peut qualifier de gastronomique, est savoureuse & les portions sont étonnamment généreuses. J'en ai été agréablement surprise. Je recommande sans hésiter ! Je suggère vivement de réserver avant de vous déplace

The atmosphere was nice. The food was really good , however the service was a bit slow. We had to wait almost an hour for our main. I would recommend to try the tiramisu dessert for sure!

Les papilles sont comblées à chaque fois !
Un immense merci à Guillaume pour son excellent service, attentionné & professionnel.
Une adresse que nous recommandons sans hésiter.

Cadre beau certe mais l'attente est extrêmement longue environ 50 minutes d'attente après chaque plat pour une taille vraiment ridicule. Les plats ne valent clairement pas le prix. Le goût du dessert chocolat chocolat horrible. Pour autant d'argent dépensé c'est très décevant.En plus de cela des erreurs inadmissibles dans les additions. Je ne vous recommande guère ce restaurant pour votre bien. Maintenant si vous voulez un bon visuel du bâtiment mais attendre 1h par plat & manger très peu & très mal c'est le restaurant qu'il vous faut.

Phenomenal dining experience. Refined yet relaxed atmosphere & decor.
Server Guillaume was the best waiter I have had in a restaurant, very attentive & knowledgeable.
Food was exceptional. Delicious variety of appetizers (I recommend the Mille fueille with chicken liver mousse) & pasta. Both seafood & steaks were cooked & seasoned excellently.
Cocktails were very good as well, with a broad selection of wine, my personal favorite was the Negroni with olives.
Dessert left much to be desired was our only gripe with this other excellent restaurant.
Bathrooms & facilities were also in notably great condition.
This was one of the best dining experiences all around I've ever had. This restaurant alone can make a trip to Montreal worth it.
