C'est ma deuxième visite chez cette petite chaîne. Lors de ma première visite, j'ai visité celui de Laval. Le service était époustouflant. Ma visite du centre-ville de Montréal semblait manquer un peu d'éclat. En revanche, la cuisine, pour sa part, très constante. Le plaisir gustatif était au niveau des mes souvenirs. Le short rib de boeuf est vraiment un plat phare.

Le services était assez moyen, le serveur m'a même dit « thx bro » & on avait de la misère à comprendre ce qu'il essayait de nous dire. La madame à l'accueil était distante & peu social, elle nous a dit que la portion de base d'un tacos (x2) était correct pour un repas alors que j'en aurait manger 8. Sinon c'était bon.
