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.

Knuckles restaurant used to be small & cozy. It used to be unpretentious & loving…It's not the same anymore…I hate when that happens!

The food was okay/good, & although the service was a bit slow for us (there was a malfunction with the system), it was still professional & friendly. The menu items were very original, which was probably the best part of the experience. Overall, I had a good time, but I probably wouldn't go back.

Came for the bottomless cacio e pepe special & felt there was indeed a bottom. After our third round our waitress said'you're STILL hungry?' & when we said we were done she said'yeah I think that's plenty'. The cacio e pepe was great but why do you have a bottomless pasta special if you're going to be mad when someone eats a lot of pasta?

Very charming place with a creative menu. For appetisers we had the eclair with arctic char (my personal fav), beef tartare (big mac flavour), panzerotti (smoke meat). The eclair was light & paired nicely with the goat cheese & fish. The beef tartare was unique & something I never had before, but I'd still rather go for a classic tartare. & the panzerotti was overall quite underwhelming because of the lack of filling, & the sides were folded too thick & so some parts of the dough were a bit raw. We also had the spinach gnocchi which was nice & light & the cornbonara which was fun but personally not to my palette. Overall, dishes were executed as described & service was good.

Wow! This was one of the best restaurants I've been to in my life. It is an intimate place with limited seating, but we made a reservation ahead of time & they were able to seat us right away. The drinks are creative & different but still tasted amazing. The food was almost like, classic American food reinvented. We had the steak tartare which was made to mimic a Big Mac - amazing. The pizza pockets were great. The fish was out of this world & the sauce was to die for. For dessert we had the chocolate mouse which was a good portion & paired well with the berry & kettle corn. We are already thinking about a trip back to Montreal just to go to this restaurant again. Do not miss out!!
