Not worth the hype unfortunately. The staff were friendly, so no complaints there. However, the food was subpar! I was expecting more given its reputation. Also, the food took a while to come out. Finally, we had a 5 person reservation, however, they sat us at a 4 person table. We felt squished, the server even struggled serving us due to the lack of space.

Great service & very friendly staff, but the food fell short given the price. The hamachi crudo was served with the red bloodline, which gave it a metallic taste, & the sea bass had some tough bites. The halibut was fine but unremarkable. The bucatini was tasty & spicy, though at this price it would benefit from at least some protein. Overall, the execution in the kitchen needs refinement to justify the cost. I gave 3 stars only because of the excellent service.

I'm so glad I overcame my hesitation to visit this restaurant based on some of the other reviews. Our server Laure was excellent, & the atmosphere was warm, curious, & beautiful. The food was delicious, very fresh, & unique. I don't always order duck for risk of it being too rubbery but their magret de canard might have been one of the most tender & well-cooked pieces of meat I've ever had. The risotto was so tasty & had a sort of citrusy sweetness that kept it from being too cloying. Highly recommend this restaurant for an intimate occasion needing a little boost of ambiance.

We sat at the bar. We don't remember her name to be honest. Extremely real. Not an NPC. Amazing suggestions. We were in Montreal for 6 days. We haven't felt more seen than being here. The food, the conversations, expertise. You need to come, & you will LOL. 10/10
