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!
