I got there around 9h30pm a Sunday, got a table right away, & got a drink & my order taken within about 20 minutes. Took some time for the food to arrive, but it was packed & busy, & the waitress did her very best. Asked to use the restroom & got to visit the fine steaks boutique & hotel entrance. I left the restaurant around eleven o'clock & took a stroll in the Quartier des spectacles. Very pleasant experience!

Me & my friends visited Maggie Oakes at the recommendation of a local while visiting Montreal & I am SO HAPPY we went. All 8 of us left were so pleased with our experience! The food was incredible - the lobster pappardelle was to die for, others at the table got steak & burgers & were also very happy with their meals. The ceviche & prosciutto pizza were also delicious. The most stand-out thing about this restaurant though was definitely the service. The service here rivaled that of Michelin star restaurants i've been to. Our waitress was very attentive to our table, her drink recommendations were all so good, we had multiple people servicing our table, making sure we had water, providing fresh utensils, cleaning the table between dishes, etc. Not once did we have to wait for/ask to order, get water, etc. She was incredibly sweet, along with all the other staff. I'd highly recommend Maggie Oakes to anyone visiting Old Montreal. The quality of the food & service will blow you away!!
The food tasted good. The service was kind of confusing. Two different waiters asked us for drinks & disappeared. Finally someone else delivered. The portion size was a bit small. The quality & flavours were amazing
Je recommande fortement pour un bon brunch dans le vieux port! Service incroyable de notre serveur Léon. Son charisme, sa prestance & son professionnalisme ont rendu l'expérience inoubliable.

Lovely place to have a bite to eat & drink right in Old Port. John especially was a wonderful gentleman. Sabrina B is an excellent sever as well. Highly recommend stopping here if you're in the area. The Caesar salad is to die for.
We came on a very busy Sunday morning for brunch. The staff, especially Samuel, was professional, & courteous. They had gluten free bread for all orders (no extra cost), but I would not say it's celiac friendly as I was not notified that my fries were in the same fryer until my plate arrived. That being said, the staff was amazing, the food was great, coffee was great, etc. highly recommend!
We are visiting from Dubai & were fascinated by the speed & service here. We want to give special credit to one of the gentlemen at the bar, Louis, for giving us such great advice regarding places to see & visit here. Thank you Louis for making our first day here so memorable. Such a handsome man!
Nous avions réservé tôt à 17h car nous avions un spectacle à 19h30. Nous avons mangé à l'intérieur, un groupe de 4 malgré que la belle terrasse était bien invitante. Le décor était chic & de bon goût. Le service était bien attentionné & courtoise. On dirait que tout arrivait au bon moment sans effort. La nourriture était très bonne. Nous avons pris un filet de saumon, un rib eye, des pâtes au homard & un tartare de boeuf. Tout le monde était bien heureux de son assiette. Pour la valeur, c'était un brin cher mais franchement nous avons passé un bien bon moment.
great brunch at Maggie Oakes today. Food was delicious & our server, Samuel was gracious, funny & kind. I eat out very often & it's people like Samuel that really positively round out the full customer experience.
