The place has an old school decor. Chairs weren't really comfortable there isn't a back support. I know too much details! When we arrived we took our coat. I used valet cause it's always a nightmare to park in this area & it cost the same as a parking! We were a group for my friends' birthday it took a moment for them to figure out our tables for us to be together. Once we ordered our drinks it took a moment for the waiter to take our order. The waiter that we had was a bit socially awkward & not very attentive. But the rest of the staff were amazing. I ordered the beet salad it was good & I had to ask for bread. My friend ordered a burrata & I found it weird it wasn't served with bread. They offered the bread with a homemade butter with seaweed. It tasted weird but they also offered olive oil. I took a plate of pasta Agnolotti it was good! I took a mocktail margarita it was ok & overall it was well priced. We felt the plate was a bit small for our appetite.
The Cesar salad tasted like water & the cocktails were also flavorless. The duck was cooked beautifully but was under seasoned. The highlight was the mushroom sunchoke medley that came with it however paired together made for a very one note Asian 5 spice flavor. The service was good & the restaurant is beautiful just not really worth the price.
Honestly the place was really nice in terms of design & layout. The vibe was relax & classy. The service was good. We had to wait for a few drinks but that's ok. The food was all at a good temperature but so bland. The drinks were also pretty lackluster. The Cesar salad needs a redesign. Over sauced with a bland sauce, no crunch or anything to add texture. The duck was fine but again needed seasoning. At the price tag for that duck, I've had better in China town for $40. The price to food flavor experience just inst there. I hope this is helpful criticism to help this place improve & be successful.
Wasn't impressed with the quality. The scallops were ok, the filet was the same quality you could find at casa grecque. Lacked seasoning, & felt like it was prepared by an amateur cook
Un restaurant d'exception ! What a fabulous restaurant. The attention to details is remarkable. From the design which has a very Contemporary European feel to it, with high quality fabrics, material & design, to the Art Collection which has been curated as for an elegant home or an Art Gallery, to the choice of cutlery, china & glassware. All with a common trait of elegance, high quality & great design. Everything has been well thought out, including the music selection which was broadcasted throughout a great sound system. The food is creative, tasty & elegant without being fussy, is served with a team of professionals. I left the restaurant thinking, what a great time we had... a real treat & for those who appreciate high quality & attention to details, a feast for the soul.

Je suis venu en midi, menu table d'hôte abordable. Beau restaurant, personnelles gentilles & serviable. Présentation des assiettes sont jolies & la nourriture sont très bon aussi. C'était agréable.
The manager & his staff (receptionist, maitre d'hotel, waiters & chef) thanks to their warm welcome, professionalism & passion offered us a top-notch experience. The staff was always smiling & attentive to details. The chef & his brigade master their techniques & seasonings. The interior is elegant, sober & efficient where several tables are available with diffrent capacities (2,4,6... pax) spaced out reasonably. I recommend the Lamb Duo!
I recently had the pleasure of dining at Dorsia, & it was an unforgettable experience. We initially had a reservation at a table, but after meeting Lucas at the bar, we enjoyed ourselves so much that we decided to stay there instead. The black bass & filet mignon were exceptional, & the drinks were crafted to perfection, making our conversation even better. A special thank you to Lucas for making the evening truly memorable. I'm already looking forward to returning the next time I'm in town.

This isn't my first time here, & it certainly won't be my last. The service is great, & each dish is beautifully presented, made with exquisite ingredients, & explained in detail by our waiter. The tables are spacious, allowing us to share meals & creating an intimate atmosphere at our table, which adds an extra touch of luxury to the place. You can feel the chemistry among the team, which makes the ambiance even more enjoyable. General Manager Amine welcomed us warmly, as always. I can't wait to go back!
Superbe nouveau restaurant!! Très délicieux, le décor est superbe & nous avons eu un très bon service! Ne manquez pas la table d'hôte jusqu'à 1er novembre le midi pour 25$ 😉

Seasonal ingredients, simple yet nicely balanced dishes.Great cocktails. Service & decor simply top- notch. Go to for your business & special events. They'll go above & beyond to give you the best experience possible.
The restaurant is trying, & the menu sounds inventive, but it didn't deliver on what it advertised. Not only was the serving of burrata meager, the tomatoes were mealy in texture & the dish should have been accompanied by some salt. The pasta special for the night was advertised as having maitake mushrooms, but I couldn't taste it. Moreover, the raviolis were garnished with thin slices of button mushrooms. This looked cheap, didn't add any flavor, & had no color charisma. The duck leg Cavalli didn't taste like duck at all! & the texture of the meat was like ground veal or pork In fact, I think it was one of those two meats. & there was insufficient micro basil on this dish. Very disappointing experience
This is a really beautiful new restaurant in Montreal. It's very pretty inside & the service is amazing. We went there to celebrate my friends graduation & they really took great care of us. Attention to detail is definitely their priority. I wasn't impressed with the food but the cocktails were delicious. If you're in the city, you should definitely give it s try!
