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.

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

Would give a 0 if I could. We went for the celebration of our friends birthday & we were told prior that we couldn't consume our own birthday cake, which is fine. However, we baked a cake & brought it for photos. Upon arrival we asked the person who greeted us if it was ok to not eat the cake but just have the birthday girl take photos with it, to which they said it was more than ok. We thought everything was fine, so we set it on the corner of our table & took it out to take a couple of pictures & selfies with.

At the end of the night, we paid the bill & realized an extra 25$ charge, when we asked about it they said that we took pictures with our own dessert meaning that we weren't going to spend money on their dessert, so to compensate they would add the 25$ charge. The manager or whoever we spoke to was incredibly rude when we inquired about this, saying he didn't want to talk for a mere 25$. This condescending attitude from the staff cannot even be made up with the borderline horrendous food.

I hope whoever runs the restaurant knows how their employee are treating customers especially on their birthdays.

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!

Nous venons souvent ici, parfois accompagnées d'amies, & à chaque visite la nourriture comme le service restent toujours exemplaires.
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.

Je laisse rarement des commentaires, mais ma soirée vaut amplement le détour! La nourriture était exceptionnelle, le service était plus que parfait de la part de tout le monde, je ne me suis jamais senti aussi bien accueilli qu'hier soir. Coup de coeur pour la côte de boeuf absolument parfaite, & finir sur un pornstar martini & un tiramisu était la meilleure suggestion de mon serveur. Merci à tous & à très bientôt!
