I really like this restaurant. The service is always great & knowledgable. I've had the tuna tartare on two occasions & both times it was fresh & delicious. Beautifully presented. As the main course i had the short ribs,& again, for the second time, it was done to perfection. It melted in your mouth. My husband had the pork belly which he also said was fantastic. We were four of us & we tried for dessert the lemon meringue, nutella canolis & the half baked chocolate chip cookie. Honestly, they were all great. Very sweet & filling. Portions are big. I definitely hope this resto sticks around for awhile.

The only thing I would say is I hope they change their menu or update it consistently as I would want to go more often & try different options.

Again service was amazing.

Belle ambiance, bon service, beau quartier, belle terrasse. Nous y sommes allé après le boulot & il n'y avait pas encore grand monde alors, nous avons reçu un excellent service combiné de 2-3 personnes courtoises & efficaces. La clientèle était calme & enjouée & composée sommes tout de gens normaux avec quelques personnages du quartier par çi par-là. La nourriture était très bonne & très satisfaisante. Malgré que les portions ne soient pas bien grosses elles sont largement compenser par leurs très grandes richesses en calories dont la somme à elle seule vous donnera une idée du montant de la facture qui elle, était assaisonnée de beaucoup de sel.

Wow, vraiment belle soirée dans ce resto. C'est la première fois que je donne un 5 étoiles pour autant d'erreur dans un service... Le serveur avait l'attitude parfaite, enjoué & heureux de nous avoir à sa table. Bon, il s'est quand même trompé de plat, j'ai mangé 30 minutes après les autres, mais il s'est excusé & nous a payé des shooters. Ce resto, je le recommanderais pour un touriste qui voudrait manger dans un resto qui représente bien le Québec. La nourriture est bonne & l'ambiance est excellente.

WOW! This restaurant was not what I remembered it being. Honestly, Im a harsh critic for restaurants, but my recent experience at Greasy Spoon was entirely positive. The restaurant has recently changed owners/management & I must say that I'll be going back thanks to the good food & service.

I went on a Saturday night with a girlfriend. Had no trouble getting a reservation earlier in the week & finding parking. We were eating a late meal, around 10 pm. I had the tuna tartare to start & the burger as my main course with a salad. Let me tell you, the tuna tartare was ONE OF THE BEST that i've had in a long time. The burger was also really good but for me, it was too big. It was also one of the best burgers i've had in Montreal. My girlfriend has the fried calamari to start, which isn't necessarily for me, but I have to admit it was tasty, especially the spicy marinara sauce that came with it. She also had a burger & LOVED it.

As for the drinks, I ordered a custom apple cucumber martini & the bartender had no hesitation to make it, & it was good. Just the right amount of alcohol & other ingredients.

The dessert for me was a miss. I didnt like the lemon meringue pie. I found it to be runny & the consistency didnt blend well with the graham & the foam on top (egg white foam or marshmallow?).

All in all, I'd give this resto an 8.5/9. I will definitely go back. The prices are reasonable, the environment is fun (you can catch a hockey game here ;)), & the food is good. Bravo to the new owners of G.S.!
