Il Martini

ll Martini isn't just a restaurant - it's a full-blown love affair we've been tangled up in for over a decade. If Saint-Bruno has a culinary G-spot, this is it.

From the second you walk in, Peter locks eyes with you like a man who remembers your go to drinks. Vasili? Smooth as olive oil on silk sheets - he's the guy who makes sure your plate is hot & your glass is never empty. & Xavier, the silent assassin of hospitality, moves like a damn food ninja - you never see him coming, but suddenly everything's perfect.

& then there's Alex - the wine god. He doesn't pair wines, he seduces them. You say'sea bass' & he shows up with a white so crisp & flirtatious, it practically unbuttons your shirt for you. The reds? Don't even get me started. His pours have ruined me for retail wine forever.

The food? Let's just say it hits like your favorite ex: bold, satisfying, & unforgettable. Every dish comes out like it's trying to get you to leave your spouse. & the ambiance? Romantic enough to propose, sexy enough to do shots off a stranger.

We've been coming here for ten+ years - birthdays, anniversaries, Tuesdays we just didn't feel like cooking - & every time, it delivers. Not once have we left disappointed (or sober).

Il Martini, you dirty little devil, never change.
You've spoiled us for everywhere else - & we like it that way.
See you next week. Probably twice.

Live your forever faithfuls,
Rob & Jen

The moment you walk in they make you feel like you are a VIP. Old fashion, top notch service that is hard to find these days. The food is always fresh, diversified & meticulously prepared. All this with an excellent wine list to go with it. So happy to have this amazing restaurant in my neighborhood!

Went for New Years Eve. Good entrée & dessert. Meal BAD : plate of noodles with tomato sauce. Wine with meal was badly explained ended up costing us 55$ for 2 glasses of wine. Never again.

Very nice & warm atmosphere inside this restaurant. Warm welcome & efficient service. Amazing wine card. The food was good but my shrimps with fettucine tasted a bit too much of tomato paste. The appetizer which was a kind of potato salad was excellent. The cake was totally & awfully wet even though I requested the caramel sauce on the side. A bit too pricey for what I ate. But I might give it another chance because the place was nice & would try something else. Clean restrooms; 2-hr free parking on the street

Food is basic & depending on the order it can be just fast food taste.
The home wines are terrible.
The service is really good & the ambient excellent.
