The restaurant had a nice vibe, we sat at the bar which we enjoyed. Our waiter was really kind & explained the whole menu while giving a us good recommendations. We especially loved the steak & its sauce as well as the dessert. Great place !
This place is literally my second home I go so often. The best food the best staff the best vibes!!! Try to find I better espresso martini I dare you. Bitter lettuce salad? Inhaled in 30 seconds. Pasta wednesdays? Give me 2 servings!!!! Love you guys sm!!
What a great find! above par service, elevated dishes, pleasant vibe, very cool intimitate little bar in the back for watching playoffs with staff. Menu options a little limited but outstanding experience!
One of the best dining experiences I've ever had, Montreal or otherwise. We came with a large group & Philippe happily accommodated us. The service was fantastic & personal, the food stellar, & the overall vibe great.
The food is outstanding. The way every dish came out & was presented was so thoughtful. The octopus & merguez were particular standouts. Even the bread & cheese that came out to start was delicious. Danny walked us through every dish, helped us pick our drinks & wine, & accommodated all of our other requests without an issue. He's a gem & made the experience that much better.
This spot is a MUST try. It's great. Cannot recommend enough & anytime I'm back in Montreal I am absolutely coming back.
Appetizers were good, the chicken was very underwhelming. But what made this experience not good was the sound of music. Too loud & a weird choice of playlist totally killed the vibe.
Phenomenal service, food & vibe.
The escargot & verdure pasta were incredible, & Phil was a knowledgeable & gracious server.
One of the best restaurants in the city.
Everything about the experience was amazing. The service, the food & the vibes were great. Thanks again to Danny & team for the great recommendations, & the time they took with us. Highly recommend!
EXCEPTIONAL.
Service was absolutely top tier. We collectively ordered most of the menu, & the least good thing I could say was one of the salads was a simple, classic, French bistro style, which was expertly executed, but just less exciting than their imaginative take on a caesar. Great cooking. Great vibes. Solid cocktails. Definitely get the octopus.
The service was exceptional, especially thanks to our waitress, Alizée, who made fantastic recommendations. Even though I'm not a fan of sardines, her enthusiasm sold them, & I was pleasantly surprised by how well they were prepared. The vibe of the place was perfect for a date night-charming & relaxed. The food was delicious, & the overall atmosphere really set the tone for a memorable evening. Definitely a spot worth checking out!
