Many diners highlight the exceptional service, describing the staff as welcoming, attentive, and professional, which significantly enhances the overall dining experience.

Découvert par le biais d'une recommandation, j'ai passé un très bon moment que ça soit en terme gustatif ou en même d'ambiance, avec des échanges forts intéressants. De court passage en solo à Montréal, j'ai même eu la chance d'avoir des recommandations d'activités à faire par Amélie, encore merci. C'est donc naturellement 5/5 pour moi !

Rarely do I write a review, but when the food is this good I just have to! The flavors on every dish was extraordinary, & the service/staff were excellent & warm. Hector & Yonah really made our night.

We were sat outside for 30 minutes without receiving any water or contact with someone. We kept trying to flag down a waitress who continued to ignore us. We were about to leave until Catherine, a wonderful waitress, noticed us & came over. If it wasn't for Catherine, we would have left & never come back. I don't know where Catherine ranks at this restaurant but she should be given a promotion for being so aware & accommodating.

Honestly, one of my favourite places to go have a drink or to eat in the Montreal area. Sometimes, I even go on my own to have a nice & relaxed meal. Also, they make me feel at home over there. Yona & Quique, who are always managing the bar (among others), make amazing cocktails, & it is super fun to have a chat with. 100% recommended! :-)
