I've been going each year for my birthday, but this was the best yet. The lovely bartender Emma recommended the snow crab along with my chef's menu, & I'm happy I followed it. The drinks were amazing, the service impeccable, & the food unbelievable. Please try the snow crab!!

Our 3rd time return after covid. Gone with their Chef Menu $120 per person & has been consistently tasty & creative. Good customer service & money worth definitely. Was honoured to be greeted by Chef Chuck making sure we have a positive experience & spending quality time with us.

Revisited in August 2025. Food is consistently great. Always look forward for their new creativity & that is why we are back. Thanks for your wonderful meal 🍽?

Got the chef's menu & the experience is immaculate. I loved the demi glace sauce in the duck breast course. Lobsters came with a brown butter dipping that was a nice touch too.

I heard about this place. Booked a table months in advance. We ordered chef's tasting menu, it was the beat food I ever had...it didn't disappear...so yummy 😋. The meal ends with wonderful chocolate dessert.

Excellent souper au bar alors que j'étais seul. Le barman était sympathique & la nourriture exceptionnelle. J'ai opté pour le menu du chef & j'ai eu plus de services que ce que je pouvais manger. Mais comme ils étaient tous délicieux, je les ai tous mangé :-). Le restaurant n'est pas si facile à trouver si on n'a pas l'adresse exacte. Il est nommé dans le guide Michelin mais à mes yeux il aurait mérité une étoile.

We didn't have a reservation, but they got us in. Everything was delicious. Sit at the bar & get the experience. Chef Chuck came out & shared stories with us.

This place was fantastic. The ambiance is fantastic, warm & cozy. The service was impeccable, at times it felt like we had the entire staff taking care of us. My wife & I did the Chef's menu which was tailored a little bit for her tastes. The Seafood platter portion of the meal was excellent, & contained a great variety of items. For appetizers we had the Striped Bass & the Cucumbers which were both excellent. The main courses were also very good. Don't miss out on the carrots which came with the Swordfish & Black Cod which were both outstanding. dessert included the Profiteroles which were delicious. The wine list is excellent. Expensive, but well worth the cost!

Came here looking for the scallops when the friendly host David told me they were out & I was so disappointed. Then the awesome bar chef Ema came to my rescue! I told her to order me a seafood dish & I got the québécois swordfish which totally blew me away! As a snobbish New Yorker, Mon Latin goer this little place stole my heart. I don't eat meat, but I said this bacon tasted good. Spoiler, it was not bacon!!! It was swordfish belly smoked to perfection! The whole dish had crunchiness & delicious caramelized root vegetables. Ema also made me a super yummy mocktail, which was not too sweet. I'll definitely came back & bring my family in here as well. I had the mushroom side as my appetizer & that did not disappoint either. Thank you. Merci beaucoup

What was, isn't anymore
I had high expectations for this restaurant which features the'famous' chef Chuck Hughes. Unfortunately it didn't deliver on any account, most importantly the food. The 45 minute wait for the $58 plate of'fresh' coho salmon from BC with fava beans & caviar butter was served lukewarm & worse, was tough & didn't taste fresh at all. I should know as I am from BC & can cook a tender melt in your mouth salmon every time. This was a huge disappointment- upon returning the dish I received alot of apologies but really shame on this kitchen for not getting this right. The Chinese style grilled octopus also failed to deliver- tough & rubbery $38
My friend had the Hanger steak & found it to be'ok' a second appetizer: cauliflower mushrooms was actually pretty decent but by the time it arrived as a replacement for the salmon, I had lost my appetite
All in all the service was on the friendly side of ok, but I would have preferred a more mature & professional service. The whole experience really didn't justify the $250 tab for two & the reaction to my feedback was defensive & unsatisfying- this place had its glory days & I would say they are definitely over - food wise
Ambience is nice for a date but there are plenty places in Old Montreal I would choose next time
