Bel emplacement, très bonne bouffe & très bon service! Seul point un peu négatif c'est que les table son assez proche les unes des autre mais sinon je recommande ce restaurant absolument!
The food was very good. We went with our out of town guests. They had terrible jet lag & was not able to finish the whole 3 course meal. However the service was very good & they packed our dessert so we could finish it the next morning.
Très bon , les quantités sont trop petites pour le prix très élevés. 10$ une pinte de bière ... je ne paye pas cela même au restaurant le plus classé de Montréal. 2 choix de vin au verre seulement.
Once again we had a Groupon voucher for 2 people (100$ for 46$) which entitles you for an entrée, a main dish & a dessert. We had reserved so we were instantly seated. The staff was courteous, smiling & friendly. The service time was adequate & we took the following:
Entrée:
Poutine with shredded chicken & green peas (Rating: 3.5/5)
Goat cheese croquettes with spicy honey, arugula (Rating: 5/5)
Main Dish:
BBQ baby back ribs with coleslaw & crispy onions (Rating: 3.5/5)
Wild mushroom Cavatelli (Rating: 3/5)
Dessert:
Half-baked chocolate chip cookie dough with a scoop of vanilla ice cream (Rating: 4/5)
Cannoli with Ricotta & Nutella (Rating: 1/5)
Overall: Food was good not great nor average & the service was excellent.

This was my third time going to the Greasy Spoon since it opened & I think I finally have to call it quits. I first went to the restaurant when it opened, & then once about two months ago, & then again in December. The first time I went to the restaurant it was awesome, & the last two times I've been severely unimpressed with the food.
The first time, I ordered the nachos which appeared to have been torched with a flamethrower because they were incredibly burnt, to the point where I was surprised that the chef even allowed the dish to leave the kitchen. I sent the dish back, & ordered a beef tartare, which I thoroughly enjoyed.
The second time, I ordered the Artic Char, which also came out burnt, & incredibly dry, sitting on top of a cold cous cous dish which I assume should have been warm? - that same night, when I walked by the kitchen, the tallest cook(maybe the chef) was whipping another cook with a rag, calling him a "faggot" & "a piece of shit" which I find very, very unprofessional & disrespectful. I figured I would give the restaurant another try, because we really enjoy the service, as the waiters/waitresses have all treated us very well, but because of what I saw in the kitchen, I don't think I'll ever return.
Deception serait le mot qui resume notre experience, le service a été tellement long 4h, ensuite pas de pain ou biscotte pour accompagner nos plats, le pichet de sangria à 45$ était remplit de glace, j,ai voulu qu'on enlève un peu de glace, après 2 demandes on m'a donné un pichet sale & je me suis organisé avec une cuillère.
Pas de demande a la fin pour nous demander si on voulait un café ou un thé, & on a du demander la facture 45 min après avoir fini notre dessert....en gros a part le sourire de la serveuse...rien de bien positif, le plat principal avec la lotte 5 bouchés seulement. L'entrée de chèvre excellent, les rouleaux au general tao moyen & le dessert du biscuit mi cuit très bon.
Voila!
Personnel attentionné & efficace. Très belle ambiance. Belle carte des vins (quoiqu'un choix en bas de 40$ serait apprécié). Par contre, quelqu'un devrait dire aux cuisiniers de calmer leur ardeur à mettre de la fleur de sel en si grande quantité dans tous les plats. On aime les tartares lorsqu'ils goûtent frais & légers, or, autant celui au saumon que celui au boeuf était salé & peu savoureux, manquant clairement d'acidité (citron? moutarde?) & de finesse. & que dire des gros morceaux de gras dans le tartare au boeuf, du pain à hot dog graissé & des chips de riz huileuses. Beurk! La bavette était sèche & goûtait le smoked meat, & les frites atteignaient des sommets de salinité. Alors arrivé au dessert, recevoir une crème au bacon... Oufff. Je crois cependant au potentiel de l'équipe de se reprendre en main.
