Food was excellent. I got a 2 40 oz steaks & it was delicious. Sides are super good & the dessert was amazing & made in the house. Jeremy was our server, he was kind & helped us with our selections & bekzat & cyrill were good bussers that made sure our table was clean & made sure we were always hydrated.
Il y a 3-jours ma femme & moi avons brunché en famille à cet élégant restaurant.
Le distingué serveur Pascal nous y a fait vivre une très belle expérience où la convivialité mêlée de respect, d'empathie & d'efficacité règnaient. Quant aux assiettes, rien à redire: gourmandes & délicates avec en Dessert une addition tout-à-fait raisonnable.
Bref un bien bel endroit à fréquenter!
Délicieux souper dans le cadre du happening gourmand, en particulier les desserts exquis! Notre serveur Pascal a été un excellent hôte, présent & accueillant!
Their French onion soup is absolutely spectacular, rich, flavorful, & comforting. They made this version with beer.
The lunch menu is very well thought out, starting at around $28 CAD per person. You can choose a main & a dessert, or a main & an appetizer, & there are small extras for certain upgrades. For example, selecting the onion soup comes with a $4 CAD extra.
Portions are larger than I expected. I also tried the stuffed pasta, which was really tasty & cooked perfectly.
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.
Superbe soirée au Maggie Oakes! Le cocktail de crevettes, le steak vieilli & les desserts étaient tous délicieux! Un grand merci à Émeric pour son incroyable service :)
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!
Everything was excellent form the wide variety of choice buffet, the in house made dessert table was a nice touch. Our waiter Jeremey was great & so were all staff .
