Knuckles is a very quaint & cozy restaurant. Our server was tentative & friendly. He was so good that he gave me an ice refill. No one has ever done that for me at a restaurant. I really enjoyed the Caesar salad because the chef used deep fried capers. I would highly recommend this restaurant.

I usually don't go out of my way to leave negative reviews, but our experience at Knuckles was that disappointing. We booked a dinner reservation the week before, only to be greeted by an extremely cold, dismissive server who tried to seat us at the bar despite available tables & our want to order a bunch of dishes for dinner.

After moving to a table service completely broke down, despite the restaurant not even being at full capacity. We waited over an hour for our main dishes while empty plates sat ignored right in front of the staff. Multiple drink & food orders were either forgotten or never entered into the system. When I checked on our order with three separate servers, we were met with indifference & attitude rather than any apologies or basic kindness.

Having worked in the food industry for years, the total lack of basic hospitality & care was dispapointing. We ended up having our food packed to-go & left because we felt so unwelcomed. I would not recommend visiting Knuckles, based on my experience.

Our first visit to Knuckles. Saturday evening, table on outside terrace which was empty around 7pm but quickly filled up. Specialty cocktail menu is out there, some weird combinations, the spicy mezcal with pepperoncini was very good. I stuck with a classic Negroni Mezcal, also good. Starters were phenomenal, the beef tartare (burger) was really tasty but a disaster to eat with the toasted bread being harder than cement, we managed to finish it after much struggling. The tuna crudo was also excellent, extremely fresh with the tomatoes & Leche de Tigre made for an excellent combination. We shared a plate of Marinara pasta which was also delicious along with the spicy panzerotti. Limited wine selection by the glass is my only complaint. Service was excellent & very friendly. Will definitely return & recommend.

Nous sommes allés au knuckles pour la première fois en mars & on a découvert un bijou de notre quartier!

De la bonne bouffe, dans un décor intentionnel, de la bonne musique en plus d'avoir reçu un service incroyable de notre serveur Olivier

On a été très bien conseillé & on a goûté plusieurs plats sur le menu!

Nous avons pris le panzerotti classique aux tomates & le Montréal Smoked meat en entrée & on a adoré!

On a ensuite pris 2 plats de pâtes à tomber par terre! Les fameux gnocchis verde de Nonna & les classiques marinaras

Le tout accompagné d'un cocktail Spagliato d'hiver, on est sortis de cet établissement le ventre plein & pleinement satisfaits de notre expérience!

Nous y sommes déjà retournés pour une soirée Caccio i pepe, on ne pourrait être plus satisfait. Meilleure façon de passer un mardi soir pluvieux!

Je recommande chaudement!!
Vous nous reverrez très bientôt, c'est certain!

Les gnocchis sont à tomber, & les plats saisonniers sont toujours excellents! Ils peuvent facilement accommoder les végétariens. Je recommande chaudement :)

Accueil & service excellents.
Plats délicieux. Excellent rapport qualité-prix.
Magnifique restaurant, mais un peu bruyant lors de notre visite.
Ce n'est pas la première fois que nous allons souper là & nous prévoyons y retourner :)
