It's a pretty happening place for dinner. The food was excellent, beef cheeks & mussels in particular. Everything we tried was top notch. It may be a little loud for some people & for some reason, it was really warm inside. But great otherwise.View more

Antoine was our server & elevated our experience! We came for 6:30pm on a Saturday & the place quickly filled up. For how busy the restaurant was, I was impressed that we never needed to catch Antoine's attention. Very attentive. The cocktails were very good as was the food. Highly recommended but book a table ahead of time!View more

Best dining experience I've had in a while! I regret not getting our servers name. She said it was her third day, she had brown hair & she was divine. Attentive & an overall delight to have her serving our dinner. The tartare & crème brûlée were classically prepared with amazing flavours. The ravioli... I could have order three more plates it was the best I've ever had. This restaurant is clearly a very well oiled machine, it was impressive to see. Thank you so much to our server & the whole staff!View more

OVERALL: 4/5 Food: 3/5 Service: 5/5 Ambiance: 5/5 - Clean & Fresh Visiting beautiful Montreal & this place was recommended by a friend. The ambiance was that of a typical upscale French bistro. The service was amazing (even though we had 3 different servers in the course of our meal). We had.. - Country Vegetable Soup - light & fresh but too much salt. - Steak Frites - The fries were limp & soggy. The steak was fine. - Burrata Salad - Excellent. Enjoyed the figs. - Lemon Cream & Mascarponne Mousse - Excellent The food was absolutely amazing. The best Thai food I have eaten in the city.View more

Staff were very nice. The place was upscale & a lot of people were there for business lunches etc. we had the duck confit & the onion soup. The duck was good but not as crispy as expected. It was also a bit oily. The soup was good.View more

We came for lunch & had the soup, burrata salad & beef tartare. The burrata was fresh, the beef tartare one of the best I ever had but the soup underwhelming. Would definitely come back & try more tartare.View more

Our server was Theo. He had a table of 18 in addition to ours. He was nothing short of amazing. Restaurant is SUPER busy but is so well run you can't help but sit back & enjoy show put on by the wait staff. The food was excellent & brought out with perfect timing Make the effort to try this place. You won't be sorry.View more

Had a late dinner here after the eclipse. They welcomed our party & we thoroughly enjoyed our evening. Lots of excellent choices on the menu. Seafood, meat, vegetarian....good appetizers & desserts as well as a good selection of wines & other choices from the bar. It was lively without being loud & service was stellar. The specials of the day were stand outs including cod & veal. 100% recommend!View more
