The service in the dining area was excellent, & the food quality was truly top-notch. Our server was number one as well,exceptional, attentive, & truly made the experience stand out. We go back again.
The experience was a bit disappointing. The food arrived cold, which took away from the meal, & the pricing felt somewhat high for what was offered. Overall, it didn't quite meet expectations, & I'm not sure I would return.
Went on a Thursday around 4:15 & we basically had the whole place to ourselves, which was amazing.
Our server was 10/10 he was super knowledgeable, explained everything on the menu, & made the whole experience even better.
The food was fantastic. I honestly don't think I've had better duck confit in Montreal (only time I've had it this good was in Paris). The béarnaise sauce was out of this world, & the calamari was perfectly coated, seasoned, & delicious.
Loved the atmosphere, & both chefs being there made it feel really special.
As someone who grew up in the West Island & a foodie for 34 years, I'm so happy there's finally a spot like this here. They really nailed it. Already planning my next visit.

I used to love coming out to Grille Nature for the steak frites, it was the only thing that made the drive from the city worth it. But going from $29 to $39 since December, roughly a 35% increase, is hard to justify. At that price, I might as well stay in the city & go to L'Express or Liverpool House instead.
We ate like kings here. The portions are very generous. We ordered 3 mains off the specials menu (black cod 10/10, pork with lentils 9/10, & the Denver steak 8/10) along with a side of fries which were surprisingly exceptional, bread (11/10), Caesar salad (10/10), & warm olives (10/10) to start. Everything was delicious. Our only complaint was that the cut of steak was very very chewy & probably should have been cooked a bit more (which would have compromised the juiciness but may have helped the chewiness). I also ordered a ceasar & I think that may have been the best Caesar (drink) I've ever had.
For the first time in a long time, I felt like I was living in the 2000's when there was no rushing, tables that have enough room around them to breath & staff that were pleased to be there. This paired with the incredible food & show stopping fries (fried in tallow?) & very best dirty martini. 10/10 would recommend
Very disappointed with my main course that the waiter could have told me that it included only 6 shrimps. I then ordered also the broccolini which they were in a heavily sauce. It wasn't worth the trip & paying $350 for 3 people I would have gotten better food for that amount.
We were accompanied by another party of 3 which we definitely won't be returning.
Regards,
