Very expensive for what you get & the food was only ok at best. Not at all worth the premium prices, much better options available nearby. The atmosphere was good, not too loud & comfortable environment.

We will recommend this place to all our friends. Rosemonde & Julian were the best, most pleasant servers we have had anywhere & we would come back just to see them. Our steaks, mushrooms, potatoes, & other vegetables, hot tea, & cheesecakes were excellent. We had a table next to the central square & watched the rest of the world go by. We are happy to be here in Canada, by which I mean I am glad that Montreal & Quebec are part of Canada. It has all the good qualities of Europe.

Such a memorable experience at Maggie Oakes. My family & I dined here for the first time to celebrate both my birthday & Mother's Day. The quality of the food was outstanding & the mashed potatoes perfectly complement the steak. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a good steakhouse!

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!

J'ai passé un très bon moment dans ce restaurant chaleureux avec du style. La nourriture était très bonne & le service très présent & discret. Nous avons pris le brunch & nous nous sommes régalés. Le prix était très bon aussi. Vu la quantité de boeuf à cet endroit, c'est certain que je vais retourner pour un dîner ou un souper.

Lobster is not live but'fresh', it's not the same'fresh' as Bostonians understand. Steak is okay, Burger is okay.
Service is really good.

Nous avons le plaisir de nous régaler du buffet brunch du jour de Noël!
Tout étaient délicieux; les différentes stations très bien garnies & variées.
La qualité était excellente, le service impeccable, l'ambiance très agréable sans trop de bruit malgré que la salle à manger était pleine.
Nous étions trois & c'est une très belle façon de faire un brunch de Noël en petit nombre.
Merci à toute l'équipe 😊💐
