First & last time
Food was good, but too pricey. There was one tomato, kebab & thebread. The waitress told me to tip her 20% instead of me choosing how much i want to tip her. Service was very slow.
I would not go again, & i dont recommend..

Honestly, this is our go-to restaurant next time we visit in Montreal. We drove all the way from Ottawa, & I have to say, Lylac is a restaurant my family & I will go back to. To start, the service was unbelievable. They were checking our table every 5 minutes to see if we needed anything. Not only one person, but we had a rotation of different servers checking the table & bringing us this hot, amazing fresh bread. The food was absolutely amazing; the portions were great, & the taste was unbelievable. For entertainment, there was also lots of fun, especially the DJ between the singers. It was a great combination. If I have to say what was the best, it was the service with their beautiful, genuine smiles. The way they served was off the charts. I strongly recommend this place if you're looking for one place that has it all; you definitely cannot go wrong.
Incredible place, it was the first time I went to a dinner with my co-workers, the incredible food, everything perfect, the attentions 1A, I recommend it... Karla is very attentive, & so are her colleagues!
