My family was very excited to come try the restaurant & we were very disappointed.
Being seated didn't take long , but it took forever to get served. There was no acknowledgment at all. Servers were in their own world. It took 3 people to serve us. One brought the dish & potato's spilled on the table. Portion was very small especially for my wife's dish which was a Japanese omelet with porc belly. There was only 1 slice of porc. Nothing Japanese about it nor special. I ordered a scramble egg for my 22 month daughter & received a well done egg & chopped into pieces. My kid was agitated as she was hungry & food was not up to par. To add up, waitress was not paying attention & knocked her off which made it even worst. We decided to leave as my kid didn't stop crying we wanted the food to go. Wife ask for boxes & it took long as well just to receive it. She ask for bigger box as they were very small & we didn't even touch the food & was told to try & fit it. Waitress brought 2 more small boxes. Our drink wasn't touched either & waitress didn't even bother giving us a cups to go.
Overall we spent $70 & service was terrible & food was terrible. Very disappointed especially from a person who works in the restaurant business.
Worst dine in experience i've had. We had reserved for 6 people. When we arrived, there was no one at the'entrance' to show us to our table. We had to look around to find someone to show us where to sit.
They offered us two options of tables (they were both really dirty & they didn't bother cleaning them up before nor after our arrival) ...one was outside of the restaurant in the uqam lobby in front of the security guard & the other one was close to the entrance door next the main dine in room. Many other places were available in the main dinning room & we thought we would get one of those seeing how we had reserved...but they ended being for the walk-ins that came after us.
We ordered our food & told him we still didn't know what we wanted to drink (other than the water we had...). To eat, i got the Japanese omelet, the pork belly seemed to be some leftover piece overly reheated, it was extremely dry & hard. We wanted to order our drinks but the server never came to see us again. We had to ask for ustensiles since we had our food but no cutlery..when we ran out of water we waited a little hoping for someone to stop by our table but no one came so one of us went to them with our water jug to get it filled they said they would drop it to our table....40 minutes of wait & still no water, no waiter, no check ups & we were ready to leave..once again had to look for someone to pay our receipt (that we never even saw because he never gave us the receipt..he simply bought the payment machine with the total price)
Had the chance to see (since we were close to the dishwasher) some of the employees touching the dirty plates & used cutlery & then going to touch sliced bread with their bare hands without washing their hands in between both actions. 3 glasses that came to our table were dirty (2 water & 1 smoothie)...Seems like the is no regard towards sanitary restrictions...
The food was delicious, especially the flavourful potatoes & tasty 3-cheese omelette. The menu was excellent with a lot of choices. & the $30 all you can drink in 90min Tower Mimosa's looked fabulous! 🍹 A suggestion might be that the Server promote this when taking your order! (We didn't order it)
I loved all the windows & the set-up of the establishment. A very quaint cafe. However it was quite expensive considering the ambiance, as the furniture itself was dated & mismatched & staff were unrecognizable in their attire. At first, I had no idea who actually was working there compared to the patrons. My opinion would be a more uniformed look for the servers & logos on their shirts, drawing a more sophisticated look of an upscale cafe that suits their price point. Also it took a while for us to get service to start with a coffee or beverage. Then for my meal, they brought me the wrong order. & I understand accidents happen, but usually a restaurant would then compliment the meal after having to wait 10 more minutes while the other person ate their food. This is just custom courtesy in the restaurant industry. But overall, the food is great & some simple changes would improve the overall dining experience.

Amazing Brunch Spot! This place has it all-delicious food, great drinks, & a cozy atmosphere. The staff is friendly & attentive, & the menu is full of creative, flavorful options. Don't miss the signature mimosas or the Demi Demi! Perfect for a casual brunch or a special outing. I'll definitely be back! Rating: 5/5
I would say my experience wasn't very good. It's a bottomless mimosa place, but I didn't like that my drinks were tasteless & seemed watered down. The food wasn't bad, & I liked the atmosphere & the high ceilings. Maybe one day I'll give it a try again & hopefully they change their way of serving drinks.
This was our first stop for breakfast after arriving from Toronto. We were greeted by Vincent who was an absolute ray of sunshine. He made sure we have everything we needed & the food & drinks we ordered were also good! We ordered the demi-demi, mochaccino & strawberry-banana smoothie.
Not recommended! They took their time to sit us down (the place was less than half full). They then took 10 minutes to bring us the menu (we code - online only). They then took around 15-20 minutes to take our order. They brought us brunch very fast so that was a relief but our drinks took 30 minutes to be brought to us after we ordered them! While the food was not bad, I was not impressed at all. The potatoes were really good, too bad they ran out of ketchup!! What place sells burgers & runs out of ketchup?!? I'd suggest skipping this place altogether.
Food was very disappointing - got waffles with « English cream » that was in fact vanilla pudding & tasted like it, & an Eggs Florentine with uncooked spinach, untoasted bread & unmelted cheddar cheese. The kitchen was unable to make their meat lovers Benedict with 2 instead of 3 (or 1) meats, which was the only reason I ended up with a half-baked eggs florentine instead. The only redeeming qualities were a solid cappuccino, due to the filter coffee machine being broken, & very pleasant service. Embarrassing for 20$ per meal with no drinks included. A clear downgrade from a very nice experience with similar meals a few years ago.
Le burger vege est très bon quoique la dernière fois il était un peu trop cuit. Les drinks sont pas mal aussi. J'aimerais un peu plus de choix végétariens mais sinon j'aime beaucoup l'endroit!
Service was terrible, waited 10 minutes for someone to seat us (we had a reservation) while multiple people just walked by us. 20 minutes for someone to even acknowledge us , we had to ask 3 times for us to order.
Overall we could of been in & out within an hour but we were there over 2 hours because of the service.
Also forgot some of the drinks we ordered, if the server would of came to check our food she would of noticed or we would of asked for it.
3 stars because the food was alright. Other than that 👎
