My opinion might be biased since I used to an Exec Chef in Montreal, then in the USA & internationally. Comments below:
- Our table was right by the entrance on the buildings beam where waiters constantly passed right on top of us the whole evening; that table shouldn't be used at all
- a Saturday night with no "plat du jour" ?
- no bread offered
- no one poured the wine we brought at least once
- the portions were so small it was like if our steak was cut in two & served to both of us, mostly like 4oz each piece for $33 ? Des frites maison coûte rien
- the beef tartare had more tomatoes & onions then beef, served with only 2 crositinis..
- the restaurant was extremely & abnormally loud
- our table was forgotten for about 20 minutes after we completed our main course
- overall the food was fine, we were served by three different waiters, the last waitresses we had was great at the end & made up for the prior bad service.
- goat cheesecake wasn't great & very small portion. It's the winter - why don't you have any warm or hot desserts ?

All & all, I would not recommend this restaurant & I would not come back. $160 for 2 people, for what we had isn't at all worth it especially since it's a BYOB & we were hungry 1 hour later. As a chef, you can use seasonal ingredients, transform them in house & have a nice reasonably priced menu. Why are there 2 steaks options out of 5 main courses?

Delicious food, we shared the salmon tartare which had wonderful flavours & beautifully shucked fresh oysters, as well as our own main dishes. Friendly service & nice atmosphere, we just wished we had more sauce for the steak & more crackers for the tartare. All-in-all a great place & we're happy we tried it!

Nourriture à un prix exorbitant & non justifié. Produits de qualité mais sans aucune saveur. Nous avons demandé du sel & du poivre...
Les frites se sont avérées le meilleur choix de la soirée servi avec un steak contrefilet à 31$ dur comme une semelle de chaussure.
C'était génial avant mais ça ne l'est plus. Dommage!

Interesting concept of the food! We have been La Prunelle customers for at least 15 years. So it was a surprise - totally different . For sure you people would love this way. But the desserts were disappointing ! Trout Tatar , steak & Nordic crevette salad were delicious.

Overall we loved this restaurant. It has a very relaxed vibe, has a patio feel to it with its open windows & an interesting menu with a table d'hote that features local items. My meal was amazing so 5 stars start to finish - I had the mushroom appetizer & the table d'hote scallop dish. Those who ordered the steak were a bit more disappointed - very tasty sauce but a cheaper cut of beef nonetheless. & a bring your own wine with an SAQ right around the corner. Service was pleasant & when she forgot our desserts she offered us one on the house. I would definitely go back

Très bonne adresse:
- Tataki de cerf exceptionnel & un steak de veau succulent
- Par contre, le service était trop "pressé"

I am visiting from Saint Louis. This was a restaurant that was recommended to me from a native Montrealais because of the good food & the byow program. I have to say this place was without a doubt the best dining experience we have had here in Montreal. We went to Joe Beef earlier in the week & were left wanting with less than stellar service. But here, everything was perfectly timed, all dishes were perfectly cooked & layered with flavors. Especially the veal t bone steak, it was magnificent!! Meeting the owner was a joy & he took wonderful care of us all evening. This restaurant is truly a gem in a city that is filled with options. Bravo!!
