Food : perfect
Ambiance : depends who's around you. Last night was a bit intense near the bar 3 old drunk men, not fun.
Service : very good, but we didn't appreciate the server switch. It's the third time it happens to us, like Jatoba is trying to cut on staff salary. When you pay 200-250 per person, you don't want that. Our server was fantastic, the other one as well, but when you create a bond with the server & he says "im leaving bye" it's weird. Very St-Hubert vibes.
But overall we love jatoba
Jatoba was simply incredible! Also the waitress that was with us was so nice & very good! The food was fresh & very tasty. Will come back & recommend to everyone. Thank you
The service was excellent & outstanding!!! Duck confit, black cod, firecrackers dumplings & beef springs rolls were amazing!! We can't wait to return!!
Fine food, tasty, balanced, but very expensive. Staff is so-so, business-business, not genuinely nice, which is not acceptable in such kind of expensive place.
Menu original ou chaque bouchée est une expérience, personnel chaleureux, ambiance parfaite, excellente musique juste le bon volume, bref mon restaurant préféré à Montréal!
