This was a delightful experience. Attentive yet discreet service & food prepared by people who care about tastes & texture.
My lamb was absolutely perfect with a sauce that was exquisite.

My third time there & I highly recommend GESO. The food, service & overall ambiance prove consistently impeccable. Nothing beats that combination. Parking is fairly easy, along Sherbrooke or St. Marc. They even have a closed off dining room, for groups.

We were not expecting much from a restaurant in a small hotel, but this was an excellent meal in every way. Delicious & interesting food, excellent service, lovely ambiance. Highly recommended.

My wife & I booked the "romance" package at the nearby Chateau Versailles for our anniversary, & it included a credit for GESO. Note that if you book this package you need to make a separate reservation for the restaurant but we didn't have any problems finding an available booking.

The food was all delicious. For starters, my wife had the salmon tartare & I had the mozzarella & cherry tomato. The waiter suggested a lovely wine pairing for both of these apps.

For main course, my wife had lamb chops & I had the veal chop with red wine & porcini sauce. Both were done to perfection. They had a nice balance of flavours & the meat was perfectly cooked.

We had the key lime pie for dessert which had just the right balance of sweet & sour. The restaurant gave us a little treat on the house to accompany dessert because it was our anniversary.

The service was outstanding. The waiter anticipated every request we made & had things in motion before we even asked.

GESO is definitely a restaurant for special occasions & the prices reflect this.

It was a lovely evening & we would happily do it again.
