Délicieux même si les plats étaient un peu trop épicés à mon goût mais saveurs originales ! Le serveur était top, très prévenant & pro.
Ambiance un peu trop fancy & « m'as-tu vu », un peu bruyant aussi, mais si certains aiment ;)

Une expérience absolument incroyable au Jatoba. Tout était au rendez-vous, du début à la fin.

Un immense merci à Catherine & Audrey pour un service exceptionnel : attentionné, professionnel, chaleureux & parfaitement rythmé.

& que dire du menu exceptionnel du chef Olivier : créatif, précis, surprenant & parfaitement exécuté. Chaque plat avait sa personnalité & nous a fait voyager. Une expérience culinaire extrêmement enrichissante qui sort réellement de l'ordinaire.

On ressent le souci du détail partout, autant dans l'assiette que dans le service & l'ambiance. C'est exactement le genre de soirée qui nous rappelle à quel point la restauration peut être une véritable expérience.

Bravo à toute l'équipe du Jatoba & merci pour cette soirée mémorable. On reviendra assurément.

The service was good, the waiter was friendly however he lacked the knowledge I prefer when visiting a restaurant at this price point. It would have been nice for the dish to be explained.

Unfortunately the food is too expensive for the portion. That said it was all fabulous in taste & quality. We just had to order pizza after spending over 300$ for two.

The 3 stars is because we received the sashimi plate of 12 pieces for 65$ & there was only 2 types of fish. No tuna! That was so disappointing. Also 3 mini dumplings for $19? It may have been an off night-many pictures I saw, you can see big chunks of fish in the sashimi & on top of the rolls but that's not what we received. All the fish was so thinly sliced. A bit outrageous.

L'ambiance est vraiment super, une expérience culinaire fabuleuse, tout était si bon, les cocktails aussi. On a eu un service exceptionnel avec Catherine qui nous a très bien conseillée, nous avons passé une très belle soirée pour les 21 ans de ma fille. Merci beaucoup

Une expérience absolument exceptionnelle chez Jatoba! Dès notre arrivée, le service était impeccable : professionnel, attentionné & surtout d'une rapidité incroyable. Tout était parfaitement orchestré du début à la fin.

Les sushis étaient tout simplement incroyables… frais, raffinés & tellement fondants en bouche! Chaque bouchée était une véritable explosion de saveurs.

C'était vraiment une expérience exceptionnelle, autant pour la qualité de la nourriture que pour le service & l'ambiance. Une adresse que je recommande sans hésiter & où je retournerai certainement! Merci à notre serveur: alexis!

This was my 4th visit & love it every time. We had the wagu Shanghai noodles, the black cod a d chocolate ice cream. So delicious!

Service was attentive & timely but could have been a touch more engaging.

I will definitely be returning next time in Montreal
