The ambiance is chic and welcoming, mixing upscale polish with a lively atmosphere that many reviewers appreciate for celebrations or a stylish night out. The menu and wine list receive strong praise, and cocktails are often highlighted as exceptional, though some guests find certain courses pricey and note variability in portions or pacing, especially during busy lunch service. Overall, it stands out as one of Montreal's top spots for food, service, and atmosphere, with most visits leaving guests impressed and planning a return, even as a few experiences fall short or feel rushed.
Nous avons été déçus pas l'ambiance car c'était tellement bruyant que nous n'avons pas pu converser entre nous. Par contre, nous pouvons souligner le service de grande qualité tout comme la nourriture.
Le décor de la section en arrière est magnifique. Bravo à l'équipe qui a pris la réservation & qui nous a donné une table en fonction de la demande spéciale que j'ai faite. J'ai pris l'entrée d'egg Roll & honnêtement, ça ne goûtait vraiment pas grand chose. Pour les plats, même chose pour les spare ribs. La morue à la jatoba était très bonne par contre. J'ai été attiré par la beauté de l'endroit, je suis contente de l'avoir essayé, mais je ne risque pas d'y retourner, ce n'est que mon expérience, allez-y pour voir par vous-même.

I'm a sommelier & I found the presentation of the wine below the quality standard the restaurant obviously garners. Perhaps a refresher training on how to present & properly taste wine.
However, this was one of the best dining experiences I have had in quite some time.
Jatoba is being my favorite restaurant for a long time.
Last evening our waitress was very unprofessional, after ordering 3 plates of entrance she said is 3 plates par persone I said is the entrance & we will see later.
After that she keep interrupting our conversation to see if we were ready to order more & to have more drinks.
She made the evening unpleasant with her attitude & very impolite.
I usually have only good things to say but not last evening.

Guillaume was simply fantastic. Attentive, empathetic & the perfect balance of non-invasive attention. Lovely experience, looking forward to returning!
Delicious Asian-fusion dishes. Comfortable contemporary setting: both design-y & relaxed. Handsome servers, a little distracted. While very nice, all in all, menu is a bit too expensive.
The only way I can put it is overpriced & overhyped. I expected to be wowed by a dish at over $60 but it tasted like something I could get at any decent restaurant or make at home. The cocktails were the only thing that we greatly enjoyed. We ordered 5 dishes & they were good but nowhere close to incredible. What are people ordering to write these raving reviews

La nourriture a été exceptionnelle. Toutefois, très déçue du service. Pas très chaleureux, pas très orienté client. On s'est senti bousculés. Nous on demande à plusieurs reprises si ils pouvaient ramasser notre assiette alors qu'il y avait encore de la nourriture à terminer)
