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.!
