JIAO DIM SUM BAR

For the people leaving this place 5 stars - notice how few reviews most of them have left in total.
Jiao is running off mostly hype. You see a lot of comments on the service but I think this is because a lot of people leaving reviews know the staff. I noticed one bartender was already acquainted with several people in the room so there is likely a social circle backing the repertoire of this place. The service I experienced was fine but nothing worth noting.
The bar looks amazing, atmosphere is the strong point here for sure. Food is not. The shrimp dish I ordered for $30/7 pieces was food court quality at best. Very salty, not gourmet by any standard. I stopped there with the food. The drinks were great however. One dish & two drinks rang me up over $70 - in this economy this is not a place I am trying to revisit, given that I can feed 3-4 people at a Chinese restaurant with much better food for the same price.View more

Fantastic ambiance for a cocktail. DJ was killer on a Friday night. Perfect lowkey spot for an intimate outing or cool kickback with quality folks. Type of spot you can have a cool conversation with a young lady you just met organically.View more

Heads down the best resto bar in Montreal. Atmosphere is unmatched & the decor is absolutely beautiful. I wasn't expecting much regarding the service, but was pleasantly surprised! The staff is super welcoming & warm, very friendly, yet attentive & very efficient. The food is, quite simply, extraordinary. Their new wagyu dumplings are a must try! Every dish i ordered was amazing, blending the rich flavors of Asia with a contemporary twists that surprise & delight. Even as the music start to get louder, the quality of the food remains unforgettable. The bar is no less impressive, heads down best cocktails i've had in Montreal. Overall unmatched ambiance, best DJ with nice lighting & great ventilation. Place is spotlessly clean & impeccably maintained. While the prices are on the higher side, the quality of the experience justifies every dollar. 10/10 recommend my favorite place in Montreal by far!View more

kicked out as soon as we paid & very expensive for a medium quality Asian food...
So keep your money that not worth the detour.

I go there often but yesterday I came with a group of 10 people. From the moment I took the reservation, Mark was so professional & his willingness to find me a area in the restaurant that would work for our group was beyond impressive. That is what I call service.

The Manager in place Friday made sure all was well. They run a tight ship & for someone who can differentiate quality service to basic service, it is much appreciated!
Will be back as usual !!!
