Spent a lovely late afternoon on the porch with wine & a delicious charcuterie plate. Perfection. Louis was our server. He was knowledgeable with the wine suggestions & was attentive to our table & those around us. Found out at the end of the meal that it was only his 2nd day, excellent job Louis!
The best Steak frites I have had outside of Paris. & we eat it often. Pascal was so attentive & helpful. He went out of his way to make sure our group had a great time. Thank you.
Really supportive of our vegan / dietary needs. Focaccia & Avo on Toast were amazing, the fries were great, & service attentive without hovering. Can't recommend enough.
Just had a lovely dinner at Maggie Oakes. Pascal, Emil, & the gentleman who welcomed us were professional & attentive. The food was delicious (Maggie's cheeseburger & sesame crusted salmon, salad & dessert), & the service from all members of the team was excellent. Would definitely go again when in the area.
Dining at this restaurant is always a pleasure. I selected this place to introduce my friends to one of Montreal's hidden gems, & once again, it exceeded all expectations. Despite the heavy rain outside, the staff remained kind, attentive, & welcoming throughout our visit.
We started our evening with cocktails & wine in the central lounge, which offered a cozy, intimate setting. Although we arrived without a reservation, one of the managers accommodated us, providing a table in a particularly special spot near the vertical garden. The seating was comfortable, & the lighting was just right, enhancing the overall ambiance.
Our waitress was friendly & attentive from the moment we sat down. The restaurant's atmosphere strikes a perfect balance between modern & elegant, making it suitable for any occasion. The music played at a perfect volume, allowing for easy conversation.
As always, the food was outstanding. Every dish was crafted with fresh, high-quality ingredients, & the variety of desserts was the perfect conclusion to our meal. The service was impeccable, with the staff going above & beyond to ensure we had an exceptional experience.
I will definitely be returning & highly recommend the Steak Bavette, Salmon Tartare, the tropical cocktail, & of course, the desserts.

Christmas dinner with the team.
Once again, we enjoyed a wonderful business dinner at a restaurant we truly love. From the moment we arrived, the experience was exceptional. The warm, welcoming atmosphere combined with the modern décor immediately set the tone for a memorable evening.
Being asked where we preferred to sit made us feel genuinely valued-having that choice is all about comfort. Continuing our now-established tradition during business dinners, we were welcomed with glasses of sparkling wine upon arrival.
We began with a selection of the house specialty cocktails, the perfect way to open our appetites. Sacha, the restaurant director, was, as always, friendly, attentive, & meticulous, ensuring that every detail contributed to an outstanding experience.
For starters, we shared popcorn shrimp, salmon tartare, chicken Caesar salad, & grilled tuna tataki-each dish was delicious & beautifully presented. For the main courses, we chose the grilled salmon, steak baguette, & cod. Every plate was flawlessly presented, with each dish cooked to perfection.
To finish, we enjoyed a perfectly curated dessert selection, offering both variety & indulgence-the ideal way to close the evening.
The service was impeccable throughout the night, consistently attentive & always ready to assist, whether refilling water or suggesting another drink.
Highly recommended for a special dinner-100% satisfaction guaranteed!
Really good food & the our server was really attentive. We enjoyed the bread starter & the steak was exquisite! We also enjoyed the Caesar salad which was deconstructed & different from any I've had before! We really enjoyed our meal, but at some points we did feel as if we were looked down on as a group of younger women in a posher place.
Wonderful restaurant my 3rd time here this week & I will be here again before I leave on Saturday! Ambient, stunning food & 2nd to none for service! Tonight's server Cephas was outstanding! Attentive, polite & genuinely the best service I have had during my stay in Montreal! As a women travelling alone for work I find this place so comfortable & safe! Honestly the food though! Wow!
The food was delicious & the atmosphere was warm & inviting, but what really made the experience unforgettable was Mateo's service. He was attentive, kind, & made us feel truly welcomed. Mateo is the reason we'll be back! Kudos to bartender Jamie & Manager He as well, you can tell they set a high bar for hospitality here.
Maggie Oaks offers great service & a pleasant dining experience. The attentive staff arranged a wonderful table for us on their popular terrace, & everything we ate was excellent. Highly recommend.
I had a fantastic dining experience here! The food was absolutely delicious - every dish was full of flavor, beautifully presented, & made with care. Everything exceeded expectations.
Pascal, our waiter, truly made the evening memorable. He was warm, attentive, & incredibly knowledgeable about the menu. His wine recommendation was perfect & paired beautifully with our meal - a thoughtful touch that took the experience to the next level.

Laurianne was attentive. She catered to what we wished to eat. She smiled, professional, polite-just great. Place was a little loud but you can still talk.
We will be back! Thank you
We celebrated our civil wedding in the restaurant's private room (the library) & cannot compliment the service & food enough! I have been talking with the restaurant for a few months, & the staff has always been very attentive to our needs & on the day of, they allowed us to bring some flowers & favours for our guests. We ended up arriving a bit earlier than expected but the manager & staff quickly arranged the room for us. We greatly appreciate the
easiness & flexibility to talk & work with this restaurant & can't wait to come back!
Parking:
We left our car with the valet of the William Gray hotel (24$ flat rate) & was very convenient to access the room from the hotel entrance.
The ingredients are fresh, & the portions are generous. The service is friendly & attentive, & the atmosphere is warm & inviting. Whether you're in the mood for classic dishes or something new, this place never disappoints. Highly recommended!
