We had a wonderful birthday dinner! We tried their tasting menu & couldn't be happier about the decision. The vibe of the restaurant is romantic & chic. The restaurant was full but surprisingly quiet enough! Food was amazing & we were impressed by every single dish! Last but not least, Nikita's service is impeccable!

Passing by this restaurant & decided to try the lunch menu. The grilled octopus was very delicious, & the beef tartare was very good too! The portion is very generous. I also love the dessert 💖

It was a surprise for me, I really enjoyed the food & the service was very nice. Will definitely come back again to try other dishes on the menu :)

Un peu déçu de l'expérience du midi. J'avais adoré la carte & l'ambiance en soirée. Mais rien à voir le midi. Les plats sont +- classiques, les quantités ne sont pas en rendez-vous & les prix sont très élevés. & nous avons patienté plus de 30 minutes pour que nos plats arrivent. Nous sommes ressorti avec la faim & avons du compléter avec un sandwich ailleurs.
Donc je recommande pour le soir mais pas pour le midi.

Unbelievable experience. Food & cocktails were incredible. Service was on point. Could not be happier with our visit. We will 100% come back here next trip. Hamachi crudo was wonderful & the steak tips were perfectly cooked.

While visiting Montreal we noticed this restaurant while walking & looking for a dinner spot. We were greeted warmly & seated without a reservation.
We had cocktails with Lot 40 Canadian Whiskey, a lamb kabob appetizer, halibut, & pasta main dishes.
All the staff were knowledgeable, helpful, & efficient. The service was well timed & the atmosphere was quiet, sophisticated, yet fun. We finished the night with a bougatsa dessert (pictured below), not to be missed.
New! More ways to react to reviews.

Outrageously good food & service at this upscale Greek establishment. Our server Ilian was so good - knowledgeable & friendly with a good sense of humor too. Really from the first moment stepping in, we had excellent service from the hostess, bartender & the wait staff. Definitely not cheap but well worth it!

We enjoyed the most amazing breakfast of smoked salmon on bagels & French toast. Our server, Melissa, was warm, attentive & helpful. It was the best dining experience we've had in Old Montreal. Well done!!!

Grosse déception.
Malgré la beauté du lieu & son excellent emplacement, l'expérience n'était pas à la hauteur.
Aucun pancake disponible à 13h, ni croissant aux amandes… Le plat d'oeufs brouillés était malheureusement très décevant (acide & fait de concerté de tomate).
& pour couronner le tout, l'accueil de l'hôtesse s'est avéré peu agréable, voire impoli.
Heureusement, le service à l'intérieur a relevé le niveau : les serveurs étaient, quant à eux, très aimables & attentionnés.

Portion sizes are tiny. I was shocked when the French toast came out. It was one tiny slice of bread - for $25 or something….
