Décevant pour nous on n'arrive de loin deuxième visite pour nous depuis 10 ans que long rêve d'y retourner bien pour nous c'était une mauvaise aventure en arrivant on n'a pris un cocktail j'ai senti la serveuse vraiment pressé de nous servir & prendre la commande nous avons commandé notre entrée qui était excellente vraiment délicieux j'ai dit à la serveuse on n'es vraiment pas pressé car ce soir on célèbre la vie la santé car la maladie fait toujours partie de notre vie un combat… elle me répond désolé votre commande es en chemin on voulait célébrer tout en savourant on reçoit nos assiettes on n'avait commander le Boeuf
Le boeuf était pas coupable & l'ensemble de l'assiette tellement salé que ça nous brulait la bouche je croyais que c'était juste la mienne mais mon copain aussi Alors on le dit à la serveuse elle nous dit bon vous aimez pas bien on répond c'est vraiment salé & on peut pas couper le boeuf elle prend nos assiettes d'une raideur & revient & met la facture sur la table omg la honte & la peine que j'ai :( quand elle revient je lui dis madame vous m'avez même pas demander si je voulais autre chose elle me répond oui je vous ai demandé 🙄 vraiment pas une belle atitude notre serveuse nous sommes arrivés à 7h & à 8 h 30 on était dehors on n'était tellement découragé
Je sais que c'est un grand restaurant connu & tellement bon pour nous c'était seulement une mauvaise aventure lol j'arrive toujours pas à y croire

Hidden seafood gem, amazing cuisine. Snowcrab whilst in season is a must try. Great music & ambience, the staff were so friendly & made my experience.

One of the best meals I have ever had. Every dish was excellent but the halibut was a generous serving, cooked to perfection & was wonderfully flavorful. Appetizers & side dishes were all superb. We are only visiting Montreal for three days but this meal will undoubtedly be one of the true highlights of our trip.

Horrible food. Absolutely tasteless & definitely not worth the $

We asked for medium rare & the meat was too chewy - absolutely disappointed.

We were first met by the host David. He sat us, & even got me a pair of readers.
Our server was Nicholas. He was fantastic. Very informed, & steered me toward the pork. It was amazing. Nicholas explained all the finer details of each plate.
We finished with two desserts for the table. The chocolate cake was amazing.
My water was never empty. Such amazing service.

Fantastic experience from start to finish. We had the tasting menu, & every dish was outstanding with incredible flavors. The service was warm, attentive, & professional.

What really set this place apart was the exceptional hospitality. I accidentally left my coat behind & was flying home the next day. Jess kindly took time out of her day to bring it to Canada Post & ship it to me. When I asked about the cost, she told me it was on the house.

A truly classy restaurant that goes above & beyond for its guests. Highly recommended!
