A bit pricey but overall great experience

We went there yesterday for my son's wedding dinner. The food was just OK but what disappointed me the most what our server. He was condescending, rude & couldn't care less about his service. We pay a high price to dine at Jatoba so I excepted a good service which we did not get. All in all we have so many amazing restaurants in Montreal. I have to say unfortunately I was really disappointed in Jatoba.

I recently dined at Jatoba & had an excellent experience. The sashimis were top-notch, incredibly fresh & delicious. If you're lucky enough to get a seat in the back room, you'll enjoy a cozy atmosphere with a great vibe, perfect for a relaxing meal. The crowd tends to be older, which adds to the refined ambiance. Our waitress, Catherine, was fantastic. She helped us decide what to order & her recommendations were spot on. The selection of sake is good, though not extensive, but you'll still find something pleasing. We had the bigger table with a spinning center, which was really cool & made sharing dishes with others a breeze. Overall, Jatoba is a great place for a memorable dining experience.

Beautiful restaurant & the service was great. The food was beautifully presented, however the experience of eating it was mediocre at best. Had a nice date night, took my wife out for her birthday but for the price I paid for the food we ate, I would never go back.

Nous avons découvert Jatoba dans le cadre d'un évènement gastronomique organisé en collaboration avec Visa Infinite. Nous étions un groupe de 6. Super belle ambiance, excellents cocktails & succulents repas. Le service était bien organisé & la soirée était très bien animée par l'hôte. Nous avons tous eu un coup de coeur pour le filet mignon & sa petite sauce! J'y retournerai c'est certain!

About a couple of weeks ago, my friend & I had dinner here to celebrate my milestone birthday. We ordered several different dishes & they were all excellent; the food was a highlight! Delicious, creative, & good-sized portions. Where I was disappointed was in the cold service of our main waiter. The other wait staff (who refilled our water & cleaned the table between dishes) was great. The main waiter was efficient but strictly business, nothing more. When my friend told him it was my birthday & that he wanted to make my dessert special, it's as if the waiter didn't register it at all or didn't care to. We ordered from the dessert menu & were served it regularly while other tables (including the one literally right beside us) received sparklers in their desserts for their own celebrations... ☹️ Thankfully, the food made the night. Compliments to the chef ❤️because what struck me was the play with texture, which many restaurants forget about. It is this attention to detail that really elevated the food for me.

Food tastes good. The tuna & salmon tartare were expensive for the size. Papaya salad is good but lacks some flavor. One dish that was great is the Hamachi sushi & the desserts (caramel & citrus desserts). Service & ambiance are amazing. I would rate it higher if the prices weren't that high for the taste.

I really don't know what to say. It's my favorite restaurant in Montreal. The chef is not even Japanese but is SO talented. Every single dish you order is just 100% good. The vibe & ambiance is the best. It's considered a fancy restaurant. The service is impeccable definitely pricey but justifiable. The drinks are so gooood. The manager is the best. 👌
