Many visitors praise the establishment as an ideal spot for brunch, romantic dates, or casual evenings, often highlighting the creative cocktails, fresh oysters, and flavorful small plates. While the majority of guests report friendly and attentive service, experiences can vary during peak hours when the venue becomes crowded and noisy. Although most diners find the food quality exceptional, opinions on portion sizes and menu pricing are mixed, with some noting that certain dishes lack expected sides or that specific kitchen policies regarding modifications can feel restrictive.

Stopped in for a quick bit on our way to Mont Orford. Super cool vibe & awesome decor. Service was great, attentive & very friendly.

I went there on Saturday for its burgers but then realized they only serve burger weekdays. I had brunch & it was decent. I would rate service & atmosphere better than the food.

On a pris deux verres avec des amis. Il y a de l'attente. Lieu avec un charme retro. Par contre on était juste à côté des cuisines, dans le couloir de circulation. Pas idéal de placer une table à cet endroit.

L'ambiance est super cool! La bouffe est bonne & les drinks aussi. Je recommande de faire une réservation comme il y avait un peu d'attente à l'accueil. J'y retournerais, surtout pour l'ambiance cozy mais festive!

My favourite place to bring people when they visit me in MTL. I don't know wth they put in their ranch sauce but its so good, & im not even a ranch person 😭 I legit book the place for every dinner/event I have to plan for. The drink & food menus are rotated frequently so you always get new stuff. Obsessed with their popcorn chicken & the honey foccacia.

I took my boyfriend here for his birthday & I'm so glad I did. I chose this spot because it had a unique vintage, artsy bar-restaurant vibe - & it absolutely delivered.

The beef tartare was his favorite dish of the night
The steaks were cooked perfectly, rich & flavorful.
The burrata was fresh, creamy,& balanced beautifully with the rest of the plate.
& the drinks? Strong, smooth, & dangerously good.

Overall, the experience felt special, intimate, & thoughtfully curated - from the atmosphere to the food. Definitely a place I'd come back to for another celebration or a romantic night out. 🥂
