Menu original, local, où chaque item vaut la peine d'être goûté & chaque cocktail est bien pensé. Les serveurs sont connaissants de chacun des repas & l'expliquent avec précision & passion. Ils réinventent des plats classiques comme le pizza pochettes, le tartare, les smores pour le rendre gourmet. Pour la qualité des repas & le prix qui n'est pas exorbitant, cette place est à essayer une fois dans sa vie.

Excellent à tout point de vue.
Le seul bémol est peut être la salle un peu bruyante mais c'est le prix de la popularité 😉

Everything from food, service to decor was phenomenal, we had such a great time here & each dish was so surprisingly delicious, especially the savory éclair! Can't wait to go back & try the other dishes on the menu :).

Une table incroyable!
Des que je travaille de Montréal, je me dois d'y aller, je ne suis jamais déçue. Leur menu midi est aussi très abordable.

J'ai une question par contre, êtes vous en mesure de me mentionner d'où viennent vos chaises dans la salle à manger?

Came here a few days ago with my girlfriend, & we ordered the Hawaiian knuckle that was essentially a panzerotti. It was really good & we were able to split it between the two of us.

We also got a nice selection of bottled wine, which was really nice, it was the first time I've ever got an entire bottle of wine at a restaurant before so it was a treat.

We ended up getting the salad that had everything bagel seeds on top with some awesome mixture salad dressing that was just a complete home run

We also got the steak fries with a side of french fries that tasted amazing

The atmosphere was really cool. The staff was extremely friendly & absolutely helpful when we had questions.

The restaurant was clean & with the winter snowy night it just made everything even better. It was like the scene out of a movie, I really enjoyed myself here & will definitely come back again. Definitely recommended that you bring your friends & family out.

Also, the prices are very formidable no complaints & they are good portions for the price you pay.

Première expérience dans ce petit resto de quartier tout chou. Le service était rapide, la bouffe malade, les pâtes étaient fantastiques, les panzerottis étaient croustillantes à souhait & le dessert simplement wow. Le menu table d'hôte nous a remplie de bonheur. Belle découverte culinaire je le recommande fortement

This place is beautiful, the staff is fine, & the cocktails are nice. Although the cocktail I had filled only half the glass, meanwhile the ice was a mountain & kept hitting me in the nose every time I took a sip. The food is an absolute joke. I cannot for the life of me understand these reviews.

Très bon service, l'ambiance du restaurant est bien aussi. Pour ce qui est des plats, j'ai bien aimé le tartare big mac. Les panzerotti étaient quand même gros mais j'aurais préféré qu'ils soient un peu plus petits parce qu'il n'y avait pas assez de garniture à l'intérieur… le ratio pâte/garniture n'était pas bon. Le plat de pâtes était vraiment petit pour partager (nous avons pris les 5 plats à partager). J'ai bien aimé le dessert.

the unique dishes are quite insanely good (spinach gnocchi with no potatoes)…. buffalo oyster mushrooms?

steak frites were great, but nothing too special

great wine, ambience is tight & cozy - service is also very pleasant

overall - good one to add to ur to try list

Les 5 plats à partager étaient délicieux. Mets originaux. J'aurais donné 5 étoiles. Cependant, les pâtes auraient pu être cuites un peu plus. Mais experience très agréable. J'y retournerai.
