The service was absolutely terrible. Travelled around the world & tried different restaurants but have never encountered one with service this bad. I had a reservation at 10, not only did they make us wait for 30 minutes, but failed to give us 2 SIMPLE GLASSES OF WATER when we asked for them in the time frame of 30 minutes when they offered them to the table behind us that came after. When we came in they said it was going to be quick & that some tables are just paying their checks. 30 minutes later, they told us they have a table eating dessert & just waiting for their checks. SO WHATS ACTUALLY THE TRUTH? Genuinely ridiculous service for a restaurant like this. I understand the business & the wait, however the service is insanely terrible. Wouldn't get this kind of service at any other restaurant in Montreal.

Came for my first year anniversary & was welcomed by your hostess Sabrine who's absolutely wonderful. She even took the time to explain a bit the menu & tell me her favorite items. I can't wait to come back!

Let's start out with on a positive note. The restaurant is beautiful, feels expensive & it is. The squid ink pasta was ok (slightly overcooked) & the bread selection was lovely. The martinis were also very good. Great wine selection, the Burgundy chablis we ordered was wonderful.
Now the truth about the food
The food was subpar at best. From start to finish, It was either missing salt, too salty, overcooked & topped with gritty clams. I actually returned my cod in aqua pazza because it was loaded with clam grit. Everyone at my table for 10 was very disappointed with their meal & I left hungry after paying almost $400 per couple.
The service was ok, they did their jobs, but obviously not trained for a fine dining establishment, arriving a few dishes at a time all while asking who ordered what when they had taken the order 30 min earlier. It is not a pizza joint, train your personnel.
