The spanakopita salad was excellent, as were the oysters. The lobster pasta for 2 had enough for 2 bites each. The lobster was a generous portion but the actual noodle weren't proportional for 2 people, we expressed that & they brought us more noodles especially since we had leftover sauce & lobster meat. Overall the staff was great & the foot was great.
I had a fantastic experience at this restaurant! The food was absolutely delicious - every dish was fresh, flavorful, & beautifully presented. The ambience was warm & inviting, making it a perfect place to relax & enjoy a great meal.
A special shoutout to our server, Chloe, who made the experience even better. She was friendly, attentive, & very professional throughout our visit. Her service truly elevated our dining experience.
Highly recommend this place! Will definitely be coming back. 🍽✨
Tried THE MAMA C EXPERIENCE (125$ per person)'a four-course culinary journey with 6 to 8 shared plates showcasing some of their finest offerings.'
Honestly, it was way too much food. Some dishes were good, others were delicious. Unfortunately, the thin steak at the end didn't do it for me, but overall, the food was solid. We also had a couple of vodka martinis & Old Fashioneds, which were very good.
This is a high-end restaurant, so expect pricey dishes & dress nicely. The ambiance is pretty nice & the clientele is classy.
An amazing restaurant located in a renovated hotel, hotel Nellygan in old downtown Montreal. Amazing decoration, amazing ambience & the first drink at the bar.
We had some delicious dishes to share all of them with a great presentation & super nyami & then sea bass as a second, which was tasty, fresh & exquisite. We share 2 super tasty desserts that leave us without words. Definitely a place to go back again.
Great atmosphere & amazing food! Don't miss the fish of the day, cook to perfection & the unique entrees a perfect blend of Mediterranean flavors with a twist.
amazing food. everything is full of flavor & the service is impeccable. thank you Halima (or Alima!) for the great service. definitely recommend for any type of occasion. no regrets.
L'endroit est très beau. Cependant, le service était très long : car je cite « nous pensions ne plus avoir de burger, mais finalement nous en avons retrouver » : à croire qu'ils étaient cachés au fond du congèlo… Avant cela, nous avons attendu 45minutes pour commander. Aucun geste n'a été effectué. Nous ne reviendrons pas.
Heard amazing things about this place from friends, but our experience was rough. Service was super slow - took over 20 minutes just to have the waitress come see us for cocktails & then another 15 to receive them. I really don't mind waiting - however the waitress did not apologize once. We were told we'd get a portion & a half since we were a group of eight, but that never happened, so we left still hungry. It also took about 20 minutes just for our waitress to split the bill at the end. Overall, really disappointed but the restaurant atmosphere is nice at least!
I'll start off by saying I think the food was great, very fresh & the meat was cooked perfectly. However besides the taste of the food, I would say everything else was subpar. The service was extremely slow. It took us almost an hour from the time we were seated to get our drinks. We also had to ask to have our water glasses refilled multiple times. Then it was more than an hour between the two services. We were told that we would only be able to order once since they don't let you order multiple times when it's busy, so when I ordered for the table (group of 8) the waitress ensured it was enough for all of us. However when the food came, we literally each got 1 bite of each dish. They also did not have the size of fish we ordered in stock so they brought us a smaller one which was way too small for our group. Then when it came time to pay the bill we asked her to split it evenly between 6 of us (it was 2 friends birthday so we paid their part of the bill). However when the 6 bills came, they were all different prices. To make it easier I just said put it on one bill & we will split it ourselves. Then when she brings the bill back it is the longest bill I've ever seen. She said she could only fix the bill (to have each item listed only once) by cancelling the order & re-entering it so I said ok please do that so it's easier for us to split after. She then says she doesn't want to & won't do that because it'messes up her stats'… very strange answer… honestly for the price I would not recommend
