Gia Vin & Grill est largement reconnu pour sa cuisine italienne authentique et raffinée, son atmosphère chaleureuse et la compétence de son service, de nombreux clients décrivant leurs visites comme étant mémorables. Bien que le menu reçoive fréquemment des éloges pour ses plats créatifs et savoureux, notamment les pâtes fraîches, les grillades et les desserts, certains convives ont souligné que les portions peuvent paraître petites par rapport au prix. Si la grande majorité des expériences sont très positives, une partie de la clientèle a exprimé des frustrations concernant les politiques relatives aux groupes, la lenteur occasionnelle du service ou le rapport qualité-prix, mais beaucoup d'autres considèrent cet établissement comme une destination incontournable à Montréal pour ceux qui recherchent une expérience gastronomique à la fois sophistiquée et décontractée.
Have been to this resto many times before that why always went back. This time reserv at 8pm, The minute we sat down waitress came up & asked for our order. She seemed annoyed that we haven't even picked drinks yet. All to say We really felt rushed by the waitress to order eat & leave. Alas, so many good experiences at this resto ruined by one
We went here twice. Each time, we asked the server which food & drinks to order, & enjoyed a once-in-a-lifetime night 😍 The food is good & wine/cocktail pairings are next level. My favorite restaurant in Montreal.
Beautiful restaurant at a very unconventional spot. Everything from the minute we walked in was perfect. Emily greeted & seated us on their terrace, which is both covered & heated, so you don't have to worry if it's raining or a little chilly. They brought a plate of their sourdough focaccia, olives & olive oil while we were looking at the food & drink menus. We started with a mixed appetizer plate which included beef, lamb & pork arrosticinis, chopped up razor clams, mussels & halibut crudo. We also tried the white fish croquettes, fried polenta & the tomato focaccia. Delicious 👌🏼 For primi, we shared a tagliatelle dish with chanterelles & pancetta. The secondi was a perfectly cooked striploin which was accompanied by broccolini & fries. We ended the night by sharing two tiramisus between the 4 of us, as we were pretty full from all the food. I highly recommend this restaurant whether it's for a night out with friends, a dinner between couples or even for corporate lunches/dinners. The service we got from Emily was as good as service can get!
Chose this place for my closest friend's 40th birthday. Service was great. Vicc was perfectly bilingual, humorous, knew his stuff, professional to a T - great! Drinks: One of us had the one sparkling white wine that came by the glass, I had the bourbon cocktail. Both were good, simple, but that's expected. Birthday boy had a mocktail. 12$ is a bit steep for a mocktail. Tasted very good, but that's a heft price tag. Appertizers were the beef, pork & lamb skewers, with a fat piece of foccacia to scoop up that garlic & parlsey butter. The skewers were SENSATIONAL. Best part of the meal, & the one thing I would focus on if I ever go back. Lamb was amazing. Pork was tender. Beef was a tad over-cooked, but quite good. Skewers is what they are known for, & they did not dissapoint. The four of us split 3 mains: The Duck ragout, which was tasty, but lacked duck flavour. The tagliatelle, which had a great sauce & the mushrooms were wonderful but the pasta was over-cooked which was unfortunate. The sausage was decent, but the lentils & crispy kale on the plate were actually the best part. Dessert: The birthday boy was gifter the canteloup & geranium granita, which was lovely. One couple split the chocolat ice cream & hazelnut merinuge sunday which was great, & the other had the tiramisu, which was....quite disappointing. It looked like a basic restaurant dessert at 3x the price. Would I go back? Probably, a nice glass of wine, foccacia & skewers - YES. All the rest was rather forgetable. But then again, as long as there is one that one taste, that one flavor that brings you back...isn't that what matters?
Thank you Nelson for being an incredible host & taking such great care of us. Montreal has so many hidden gems & this one takes the cake.Wine selection is so beautiful but also great cocktails & beers offered for the non wine drinkers. Please order all of the skewers, you will not regret it.
We were a table of 4. The locale is pretty cool. A touch loud but tolerable. Drinks ? So we can't make a cosmo because we have no cranberry juice (yes I'm old school). Ok let's have an Aperol spritz, sadly it's a little flat but we move on. We order a whole bunch of different entrees. Polenta, green bean salad, fennel salad, crostini & the focaccia. Everything was delicious &'fresh'. Fresh is in parenthesis because the young lady who was waiting on us used that description for almost every dish she explained. Although the dishes are pretty self explanatory. Our finished drinks stayed on the table a little too long & she never came back to ask if we wanted anything else to drink. So we flag her & order wine. We get our mains but still no wine. She finally comes with glasses & the bottle. & then proceeds to disappear with the bottle. We ask another staff member where the wine is because our mains are getting cold .... She proceeds to return with an opened bottle of wine & no cork She was making sure it was good. Euh no you open the bottle in front of me ... when I ask she told me that this is how sommeliers do it not to disturb the guests at the table. She has worked in a Michelin star restaurant & that's how it's done. Well I didn't share with her because it's not necessary but amongst the four of us we are well traveled & have done a few restos here & abroad, starred & not & no. You open the bottle where the guest can see you. You don't want to trouble? you do it in retreat but not where I can't see you. Anyhoo. This post has gone on enough. All is all food was really really worth it. Service staff was very friendly & smiling but this one girl although very sweet lost a lot of points with saying fresh 12 too many times & hiding to open our wine. Would go back ☺️
Very mediocre. Thought it was pretty odd that the restaurant didn't serve coke or Diet Coke (or any traditional soda that matter). Waitress came off as a little condescending when she told me to order an espresso martini which was "basically the same thing" as a vodka & coke. Also thought it was odd that she refused to bring a slice of lime or orange for my vodka & when we asked someone else they said no problem & brought it. Drinks took about 25 minutes - which I understand could take long but it's a pretty small place. Eggplant dish was good, but also had the fish & the special of the evening (similar to coquille st Jacques), both of which were mediocre. They forgot to bring our side salad & the waitress said it was because they were having "communication issues" with the kitchen (strange comment?). These were only the issues that happened with me but there were a few more with the rest of the party including receiving the wrong dishes & not having the wines that were on the menu & the waitress suggesting 3 others l, all of which were more expensive. Overall not impressed for over 150$ per person.
A must in Montreal, really damn good drinks (love that there are bottles of licor in the middle of the restaurant. Attention was excellent as well as the food. Kind of loved the location too
