Great spot, we go there once a week. Food is wonderful & service is awesome. My daughter came in with her husband from out of town last week & we went there on a Thursday night at 8:30 PM after airport pickup. Unfortunately, we couldn't chat very well as the music was WAY too loud, & it was BAD music to boot. I hope management sees this, & recognizes that even our wait staff agreed when we mentioned it! Please, I want to come back to this restaurant but if the music is this loud to the point of not being able to hear others at the table, it will be a hard pass.
First time we try a Baltazar. Honestly, we were a bit disappointed overall. There's nothing to say about the atmosphere. The terrasse is wonderful. Regarding the waiter, there is nothing to say he was a five star. Unfortunately, the wait time for the food was very long. We got our drinks very quickly, the appetizers as well it was acceptable for the wait time about 15-20 minutes, but for the main plates approximately one hour from when we gave the order. The food overall was acceptable definitely not something with a wow effect. We ordered the spinach dip, which wasn't even warm when it got to the table so the cheese on top was very hard. For the calamari, there is nothing to say, except that the amount of sauce they put for it is definitely not enough. For the main plates, we ordered a trio tartare, which was very good! We ordered two types of burgers, which both were acceptable, but one of them came with sauce & the other one did not come with sauce on the side for the fries. Truly, we don't understand why not all plates of burgers come with sauce for the fries we have been charged for the extra sauce. We also got the ribs, which were very tasty & big for one rack, but the coleslaw salad was not edible at all. Lastly, we ordered half a poutine, which is the balt poutine. Apparently, it's made with garlic, which ruins the whole taste of it. It was one of the worst poutine we've ever had. We paid around 300$ plus tip for four people for all the plates mentioned above plus 4 cocktails, a coffee & a juice which were great. Compare to the competition around, they are definitely the last on our list in the faubourg. We had our first experience & I'm pretty sure it's our last, we won't be going back. Paying a large amount is fine if the food is amazing, which was not the case for this pub resto.

J'ai bien aimé mon burger au poulet croustillant épicé. Bonnes frites. J'aurais aimé qu'on m'avise qu'il y avait un extra pour la mayonnaise épicée qui m'a été offerte. Le service a été long : 15 minutes pour recevoir nos bières en fût. S'il y a un enjeu, c'est ok, juste informer les clients.
Le service était bien & l'ambiance agréable avec deux musiciens qui nous ont donné une belle prestation. Il y a un beau choix de bières. Par contre, la bouffe laisse à désirer. Les tartares n'étaient pas bons & leur texture pas du tout intéressante. Mon conjoint a pris la côte de boeuf & elle était sèche. Pour le prix, nous nous attendions à mieux. Bref, ce fut une grande déception. Nous ne recommandons pas cet endroit.
