Overall, Marcus Restaurant + Lounge is seen as an upscale, stylish destination with a vibrant ambiance and generally attentive service, where the seafood tower, pasta and other refined dishes are praised and wine and dessert selections often stand out, but reviews warn that prices are high and portions can be small, with reports of meals that are bland, overcooked, or not as refined as expected, and occasional slow or inconsistent service, plus a loud or busy atmosphere at times; despite these mixed notes, many guests rate it among the top spots in Montreal and remember memorable experiences thanks to hospitality and ambiance, while others caution that value may not always match the cost.
Showed up for a 915 reservation & the table wasn't ready. So they asked us to go have drinks in the lounge while we wait. The wait ended up being an hour. We weren't happy at all as there was no gesture to make it right.... Until the end. & they definitely did make it right.
Service food & ambiance here are incredible from start to finish. Will definitely be returning.
The music was too loud, making it difficult to have a comfortable conversation. The food was very average & didn't stand out given the price point. The ambiance also felt a bit off & not as refined or cohesive as expected.
Decent experience, but not one I would rush to repeat.
I've been to this place multiple times, & unfortunately the service from the bartender has been consistently disappointing. Each time, I've had to wait 15-20 minutes just to receive a menu, even while standing directly in front of him. I've noticed that I was being ignored despite being clearly visible.
When I finally asked for a menu, the response was cold & unwelcoming. This kind of attitude has happened on several occasions, which makes the experience feel disrespectful & uncomfortable.
Basic courtesy & professionalism should be expected, & sadly that has not been my experience here. If You don't like your job. DONT WORKK!!!!!
Le videur il était agressive vers moi
Je l'ai saluer & demander est ce qu'il va bien
il m'a pas répondu puis il m'a dit enlève ta casquette ou get out j'ai enlever ma casquette ,il a l'air il déteste son travail la nourriture était excellente puis le serveur est professionnel
We had dinner table 6 people, salmon & Tuna tartare was amazing, BURRATA was ok ,
Tomato salad was testeless with cheap ingredients nothing special,
Lamb chop Honestly one of the worst meals I've had.was cold, greasy, & completely lack of seasoning.
Too expensive for experience.
My friend & I went to the restaurant yesterday & ordered salmon & chicken. Unfortunately, after returning home we both started feeling very sick. My stomach & heart were hurting & I ended up vomiting, & my friend still feels unwell today. It seems like we may have gotten food poisoning. The food was also very ordinary for such an expensive restaurant.
That being said, the service was excellent. The waiter & waitress were both very kind, friendly, & attentive.
However, I am very disappointed that a restaurant that presents itself as luxurious & charges high prices does not seem to provide food of the quality & safety that customers should expect.

The food is just okay, but way overpriced. The service was poor & inattentive-our server kept pushing the most expensive dishes & urging us to order more.
The lounge wasn't nice either, & the drinks were terrible. I ordered two cocktails for $60, but only managed to drink a quarter of them because they tasted so bad I couldn't finish.
The DJ was also bad; the music was dull & lifeless. I will never be coming back.
My favourite bar in the city but last time I went there was a predator in the men's bathroom hiding in one of the stalls looking to capture unsuspecting victims. He was there for over 2 hours, I told security about the situation but they said he's a regular & wouldn't kick him out. Beware.
Les critiques négatives sont très fidèles à l'expérience que ce vous aurez. C'est un bel endroit mais comme de nombreux autres à Montréal. Prix exagérés, service passable. La serveuse s'est trompé dans la facture (partager un item qui n'avait pas été commandé à 2) & nous a subtilement imposé de s'arranger entre nous plutôt que de corriger le tir. Avec ce type de standing, je m'attends à un sans faute.
