It seemed like they were in no position or mood to receive people at 9pm anymore. We were asked if we would like to sit outside since our table wasnt ready. I thought why not (it did smell like fried fish inside afterall). Until we saw giant spiders hanging from the gazebos when we got out & spider weds above our head. We asked to move the table away from the wall which is where they were mostly concentrated & it was extremely awkward, we were standing there & the hostess kept going back & forth, as if they didn't want to move it when there was more than enough space. So we asked to keep our table inside (as per our reservation). We immediately heard the chef owner scream'set up their f******* table' in the middle of the restaurant. It was very embarrassing. Then i saw they were setting a table that seemed somewhat secluded in a corridor, with the lit drink fridges & wine racks. I asked if this was our table & i was told yes & there is no other. I said fine. The chef owner then came to unecessarily confront me & asked me if i wanted to eat here tonight. I said yes since its my birthday & i had been trying to come for weeks. He completely disregarded my answer & kept fishing for problems & asked why I didn't like the table & what not, i explained objectively that it was fine i was just asking if there were any other since it seemed a bit off from the rest. Instead of calming down, acknowledging my desire to move forward, my birthday & how nicely I responded to his tantrum, he turned to my friend accusing her of wanting to leave a bad review & asked us'get the f*** out'. I think its safe to say giant spiders are not enjoyable & this first reaction to scream about it should've me been our queue to leave. I have never seen a business owner treat anyone like this, i get this is a tiring business & clients are sometimes difficult but I don't think people should be treated like punching bags. We went to Maiko where we were welcomed (as usual) despite them being super busy, they definitely deserved our (plenty) business.
Très mauvaise expérience. La nourriture était de mauvaise qualité, autant au niveau du goût que de la préparation.
Ce qui a surtout rendu l'expérience désagréable, c'est l'attitude du chef-propriétaire. Il semblait être en état d'ébriété & son comportement était agressif & complètement non professionnel.
Pour un établissement qui reçoit des clients, je trouve ce genre de comportement inacceptable. Je ne recommande malheureusement pas cet endroit.

2) terrasse is full of spiders!!!!
3) chef / owner was cursing !!!! Very very aggressive !
4) the ventilation is horrible.
5) resto does not answer the phone goes to voice mail directly.
5) way overpriced for the experience.
Do not waste ur time , we have a million better resto in montreal.
What a shame!
Une hôtesse qui vous salue sans vous regarder dans les yeux, un premier serveur qui peut à peine s'exprimer en français, des plats intéressants, mais pas assez chauds, personne qui ne demande si c'est à notre goût ou si nous voulons un dessert à la fin du repas, des écrans de télévision qui diffusent le même match de baseball sans arrêt, des prix exorbitants… très décevant pour un restaurant appartenant à des chefs de renom. Nous n'y retournerons pas, ça c'est certain !
Paraphrasing the late, great Christopher Wallace,'Brooklyn was definitely in the house tonight!!' Our server Brooklyn was beyond fantastic. She had great suggestions, was extremely affable, & we never felt neglected. As for the food? Lord have mercy; the food. If you don't get the baked clams appetizer, I feel bad for you. The fried calamari is also superb - something you've probably had at many a restaurant, but here you can tell the quality of the squid (fried in beef tallow) is not to be messed with. The duck confit was also delicious. Fried to perfection.
But the two winners in the savory arena had to be the cheeseburger & the miso glazed cod from British Columbia. The best sit-down restaurant burger I've ever had - & I'm from southern cali where we have great burgers - & the cod was exquisitely cooked & the miso glaze Id drink by the gallon. The desserts were also sublime. The chocolate cake with sprinkled salt was simple & decadent, & the strawberry Sunday with wildflower honey, whipped merengue & vanilla ice cream made me question all my previous life decisions as being substandard when considered in light of the one I made to order this dessert.
The staff is wonderful. The chefs came out & were delightful. I can't recommend this restaurant enough. If you want amazing food, meticulous & friendly service with no pretense, come here.
Absolute culinary debauchery in DDO. Totally mesmerized by the delicious dishes from the exceptional head chef, Melinda Gorman.

Many thanks to the incredibly talented Clerel for his fantastic suggestion & most enjoyable company 🙏
What an amazing foodie discovery !

My wife & I recently dined here & really enjoyed our meal. The food was excellent & very well done-the kitchen clearly knows what they are doing!Our only critique is that the service staff & the chefs seemed unsure of the ingredients in their own dishes. When we ordered the poblano pepper, nobody could tell us what type of cheese was inside, & the staff struggled to pronounce the name of the dish.We had a wonderful time & will definitely be back for the great food, but a little extra staff training on product knowledge would take the experience to the next level!
TRÈS DÉÇU - L'hôtesse ne parle ni français ni anglais. Le service manquait totalement de coordination : nous avons été servis par deux personnes différentes qui ne communiquaient pas entre elles, du jamais vu. Côté cuisine, le repas était très moyen. Évitez les crevettes cajun & le steak-frites, sous peine d'être grandement déçus. De plus, lorsque nous avons demandé une suggestion de vin, la serveuse nous a répondu : « Ah non ! Ne me demandez pas ça, je ne suis pas capable ! ». À 400 $ pour deux adultes & un enfant, & malgré la bonne réputation des chefs, c'est inacceptable. J'avais hâte d'y aller, je n'y retournerai plus jamais.
Came for McMillan's expertise & philosophy.
My expectations were obliterated. In a good way !
It's a foodie's dream experience. It's a new Montreal classic. Big portions, Fine flavors, fun plates, quality driven but not pretentious. It's very''festive'' & this lacks a lot in the culinary world. Like a crossroads between a Paris's Bouillon ambiance & abundance, a Lyon's bouchon respect for quality ingredients & a Paris' Bistrot for the presentation & attitude. All of this driven by a clear pride of Montreal's gastronomic culture &''way of life'' where the most important thing is to share good food with good friends. The vision is very unapologetic & I loved it. Shout out to the chef's own farm that supplies fresh & quality ingredients. It shows.
Mr McMillan himself walking through the dining room greeting customers. Service staff was very profesionnal yet very funny, the food amazing, the drinks perfect. Everything is on a human level, nothing feels over the top, except maybe how good it tastes.
I am emotionally drained & I will come back as often as possible.
