Nous avons eu un accueil chaleureux , un excellent service attentionner avec explication du menu dégustation le repas était tout simplement délicieux AAA bref nous avons passer une excellente soirée nous allons répéter l'expérience Merci à vous tous Nick & Louise
Notre restaurant préféré à Montréal, on y va 3-4 fois par an pour célébrer les évènements importants. Le service est chaleureux & professionnel, on s'y sent vraiment bienvenu. La nourriture est fraîche & préparée avec soin. J'apprécie particulièrement les petites attentions: le pain & la crème sûre faits maison, le changement des couverts entre les repas, les fleurs sur les fenêtres, les broderies sur les murs & les précieuses recommandations de Gala. Enfin, on y trouve, selon l'avis de mon beau-père, la meilleure crème glacée à la vanille de toute sa vie. On revient très bientôt, merci !
Had an amazing dining experience! The ambiance was romantic, the food was fresh & delicious, & the service was flawless. Everything was spotless & beautifully presented. Perfect for a special night out- highly recommend!
Food: the food here is amazing. This is the single best Russian/eastern European that I've ever been too. The food was amazing & the recommendations were all spot on. I usually eat meat medium, they encouraged me that the best way for my meal to be eaten (the medallions i belive) was rare & oh boy it did not disappoint, it was one of the best meals I've eaten. I am also a huge hater of zucchini & was not going to eat it when it came with my meal, I ended up trying it & it was cooked to perfection. I split the tasting menu (witc was for two people, costed $110, gave 4 appetizers a main meal each, dessert & a drink)& everything on it was made with love & delicious. Service: The people that work at the restaurant are the nicest workers I've seen. It's clear they care about each consumer & value a nice, peaceful environment. They gave helpful truthful suggestions about what to order, made jokes with my party of four throughout the dinner, & when leaving encouraged us to take a lot of tiny candies on the way out. The service from beginning to end was amazing. Atmosphere: The atmosphere is very homey & peaceful. Though the restaurant is small, I've never had any trouble with getting a table for four. If anything, the restaurant allows for a nice personal vibe. The lighting dimmed with the light outside, it was made up of warm candle & overhead lighting. The decorations in the restaurant & wallpaper also furthered the homey feeling, it felt like going to a grandparents house. :]
Une belle decouverte à côté de l'Oratoire Saint-Joseph. La nourriture était delicieuse, la decoration splendide & le service impeccable, les employés etaient attentifs à notre groupe & connaissaient bien le menu pour nous l'expliquer. Recommandation dessert: les fraises Romanov!
