Bars not big enough for the expanded space. Waited 30 minutes from the time I sat down to get my drink. Tables for two are now too small for a tapas style of ordering. Really disappointed, I have been coming here since it opened & I probably won't come back.. maybe I'll give it one more shot if my review is heard..

We had a wonderful time last night. Yona, who served us, was stellar & his recommendation, attention & conversation definitely made our night. It was an absolutely delight to dine & have some drink there. Food was amazing but Yona killed it for us !

We loved our visit here & are so glad that we found this place while visiting Montreal. There were three of us & we decided to try the tasting experience while sitting at the bar. The bartender explained to us what it was, took in account our food allergies, & provided us with an amazing experience in some amazing food options & drinks. The staff were so friendly & really made our experience wonderful. Thank you!
