The service is excellent, although sometimes slow. The maître d' is pleasant & friendly
The cuisine is good to very good
The decor is above average
The music is both loud & boringly repetitive, which is unfortunate

Honestly the food, & cocktails were amazing but the restaurant was too loud to think at some points. I think this is a personal preference as if you like loud 80s music it would be a vibe. The service was great but maybe a little too fussy for my liking but again that is a personal preference.

We visited this beautiful restaurant in Old Port, Montreal on Saturday, March 28. We were welcomed by a kind & friendly young Italian who served us excellent cocktails. The food & service were both of a very high standard.

The only downside was the vibe, which felt a bit dull - the music lacked a clear identity, shifting from 70s Italian tracks to rather unengaging songs.

I hope to return & find a different atmosphere next time.

The food was'okay' nothing outstanding. Portions were tiny & comes with a heavy price tag for what you get. The service was excellent though. 👌🏽 unfortunately, the service alone won't get me to go back. We enjoyed the chill vibe. Music was loud enough to enjoy it, but not so loud that we couldn't hear each other. Less of a party vibe & more fine dining atmosphere; we quite enjoyed that. I spent 140$ for 1 person (no alcohol) & I left hungry & was underwhelmed.

We came back after a few months & the service was noticeably better. The two Italian guys who welcomed us were professional & very attentive.
The food was great, but the real highlight was the cocktail list, truly exceptional drinks!
At the end of the dinner, Bruno prepared a tableside Sgroppino for us, which was a wonderful touch. Special thanks to him.

Highly recommended.

The music selection was amazing, such a great vibe!

We walked into Mare after realizing earlier in the day that it was a new spot that had just opened beside our hotel. With no reservation on New Year's Eve, we were pleasantly surprised to be seated right away by the bar.

The atmosphere was beautiful, lively, & paired with great music. The servers were interactive, welcoming, & genuinely friendly, which immediately set the tone. We stopped in just for cocktails after having dinner at a very unfriendly restaurant, & Mare completely turned our night around.

The cocktails were excellent, & the staff made us feel comfortable & welcome right before the New Year's Eve ball drop. What started as a disappointing evening ended on a high note thanks to this place.

We visit Montreal quite often, & Mare will definitely be a spot we return to. Highly recommend for great drinks, atmosphere, & outstanding service.

We will try the food on our next visit. It did smell amazing while we were there.
