The miso soup was incredible! Everything was above average! Thank you! 🙏🏾
Incredible dining experience - all the raw fish was spectacular. Some of the best I've had in Montreal. Our server (Amelie I believe) was so sweet too. Can't wait to be back.
Dined at the bar....met fun people & had an amazing experience of great food. Coming back
La nourriture excellente; toutefois, vraiment exagéré comme prix. Le service était ok mais pas à la hauteur d'un restaurant haut de gamme.
Truly splendid service & atmosphere at Jatoba. The food is good but not great. The quality of the fresh fish really stands out & the oyster mushroom gratin & firecracker dumplings were both divine. The black cod was a bit mushy for my liking (it's not Nobu esque) & the har gao tastes standard.
I have gone pre-covid when this place was fairly new/hyped & recently. I recall the whole experience about the same both times. Let's quickly talk about Service & Atmosphere. Service for what we had was 5/5 on par & up to basic expectations. Greeted warmly & well informed of their menu. Atmosphere they have 2 areas, front & back with the back being more open in a glass room enclosure & a lot of plants, it had a nice vibe but the front does have this cozy warm Asian inspired feel to it. 4/5 Let's get to the food: This place is on the pricey side & I'll describe it as best as I can for what I have had, & seen. I will also describe how to go to this place & really enjoy it. Food is pricey, easily call it double of what you would expect from a standard Asian restaurant. High price, small dishes, almost tapas style if you want to call it that. Some items from their menu, Filet mignon, Lobster ginger & King Crab ($60+) offers at most 5-10 bites. Their other items which would be your go to for sides like Fries ($20), Calamari ($40) or dumplings (3) (~$18). There is only so much you can go high for price. Flavours had that hint of Asian cooking with a more quality preparation & plating. Tasty yes, unique no. Be full & happy? Not at the prices. Desserts are double the price of something typical but nothing unique that I haven't seen or tasted before. Drink wise, everything stands around $15+ for your alcohols. They made some fairly nice drinks & I would say they made an amaretto sour that is going in my books (super frothed egg whites). I make this drink blind folded & even started to make it with egg whites but this was another level of froth, almost whipped cream line. Half the glass was alcohol & the other half was whipped but it was well worth it. Listen if you go to this place as 2 & you order a app, main & dessert, you are easily over $100 & you won't be full. The best suggestion is going to this place as a group of 4-5 people & each spend about $75/all in (2 orders each). This will get you about 8-10 dishes that you'll be able to try tapas style with just 1 maybe 2 bites. This way you can try a lot of different stuff without hitting a price tag of $200+ (person) which you can easily do. Food is 3/5. It's not bad food, it's just pricey & with pricey food, your expectations are just up there. Go here with friends, real friends that know how to food share & you probably won't be disappointed.
Une belle expérience gravée dans ma mémoire à tout jamais. La nourriture est excellente, le service & l'ambiance aussi. Un plaisir en bouche avec des accompagnements divins. Merci pour ce beau moment.
