En général, la nourriture était tiède/froid. Les pistaches sur le bar grillé avait un gout légèrement rance & le plat en général était bizarre. La pieuvre était bon. Le focaccia excellent. Le contre filet était correct. C'est bon mais il manque de chaleur dans les plats
Très bonne adresse avec des plats au poisson de très bonne qualité. Les cocktails aussi ++
Le service était aussi super bon, une très bonne explication de la carte.
Je recommande :)

La machine pour payer la facture n'était pas fonctionnelle & nous a occasionné un retard à un spectacle... fort désagréable comme situation.
Les huîtres étaient délicieuses, notre serveuse fort gentille.
Le souper était très succulent mention spéciale à l anguille belle découverte & au bar rayé , les pâtes aux homards étaient un peu salé mais rien pour gâcher ce merveilleux repas , les cocktails étaient originaux & très bon le service était excellent le serveur professionnel & très gentil a l écoute . Bravo
We booked a table on the patio for 8:30pm on a Wednesday. When we got there, we got told that they don't take bookings for the patio & that we have to wait like any walk-in people (?). We finally got a table around 9:15pm, but they never gave us menus, so we waited another 20 minutes to get them (& we did have to ask for them!)
9:40ish, we finally started ordering & everything was fine after that. The food looked & tasted very good. We tried the oysters, calamaris, octopus & mussels.
Conclusion: don't bother booking & don't be in a hurry!
Les moules sont bonnes mais le service laisse vraiment a desirer
Attente très longue entre chaque plat
L’impression de deranger aupres du personnel
On est venu une deuxieme fois pour se refaire un avis car la premiere fois etait similaire
On ne reviendra pas

Bien situé sur St Denis ,la bouffe était à la hauteur ,pieuvre & tartare À + & que dire de la salade César,présenté de façon différente,mais très bonne .
Le service de Thomas était parfait ,présent mais pas trop avec de judicieux conseil .
À bientôt Joséphine .
Josephine was recommended by concierge Caroline at Le Mount Stephen & it was the perfect suggestion for meeting a local friend while visiting Montreal. We shared the seabass with sauce chien & rapini. Despite being beyond delicious, we were unable to finish the generous portion meant for two. The very knowledgeable with their wine list & accommodating server (food allergies) took very good care of us.
Will be back next visit!
Très belle découverte ! Nous avons passé un très bon moment en famille pour l'anniversaire de ma maman ! Le lieu est magnifique & la nourriture très bonne ! Merci
