Incredible spot , snuck in as a walk in, sat at the bar... the staff were an absolute delight. The swordfish, tuna & sea snails were what we needed. Washed down with 3 nice cocktails & a lovely glass of white . Photos to prove. Thanks Loris & Nickolai (pardon any misspellings)

4th time coming to the restaurant & best experience yet. Manager Nick & hostess Taylor really went out of their way to make us feel welcome. Ordered the carpaccio, salmon, & sturgeon as starters (no pictures) unfortunately. Got the duck, steak, & mushrooms for mains. The steak was the clear winner but everything was great. They have a great ginger & pineapple mocktail as well. Had a parking issue on the way out & Nick went above & beyond to help out. Thank you!

This was our splurge meal on our trip to Montreal, & it did not disappoint. We had the chef's choice, which I recommend doing. You get a lot of different items & every dish was fantastic. I'm still thinking about the sweetbreads. So good. Our waiter was Nicholas with assistance from Wesley & the service was impeccable. Worth every penny!

Repas festif en famille. Ce fût une expérience délectable. Nous avons pris le menu dégustation; je ne saurais compter le nombre de services que nous avons eus (peut-être une dizaine). Mais je peux dire que chacun, chaque met, était préparé avec grande attention & minutie. & chacun était un délice. Mon coup de coeur est le ceviche de pétoncles qui est l'un des plats les plus réussis que j'ai eu la chance de me mettre dans la bouche. Service avec écoute, entrain & joie. Arrivée des plats bien cadencée. Ambiance chaleureuse! C'est cher, mais ça en vaut le coût. Une réussite sur toute la ligne, & des souvenirs grandioses!
