I was expecting so much from this restaurant but unfortunately came to the conclusion it is extremely over hyped. The staff at times are very attentive & then some times, we had to wait over 20 minutes for the bill. We didn't order drinks & chose to have water but the waitress mentioned twice if we wanted drinks & she'd leave the menu if we change our mind. We ordered the beef tartare but was stopped due to the waitress' recommendation. She said the fish one would be a better selection because the tartare isn't seasoned as much & you'd have to really know your tartare or you'd think it was plain. We didn't feel like fish that night but I found it strange for her to tell us not to order something & recommend something completely different. Our food came out lukewarm , bread they served was ice cold & the pasta was undercooked. At this point I wanted to just finish our meal & leave. The washrooms are downstairs after taking a narrow staircase & walking through the dim lit hallways. Definitely not for older people or people with mobility issues. We chose to eat here during new years eve , visiting from out town & had to take a 20 minute Uber. I was extremely disappointed after spending over $100. I can understand why people choose to dine here because it's so upscale but I expected more.

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.

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.

A true gem in the Old Port. Designed with class, & a beautiful atmosphere. We were greeted by an excellent waiter (Andy) his smile, his experience, so professional & he guided us throughout the evening. Thank you Andy . The presentation & flavours of each dish was just mind blowing . Definitely returning to Mare .

One of my new go-to spots for dinner in the city. From A to Z everything was incredible, & finally a place that cooks their pasta'al dente' as it should be! So nice to not worry about parking too.

Don't sleep on the lunch!

Having grown up close to Italy i seldom get impressed about Italian restaurants on this side of the Atlantic - tonight was one of those times.

Service, atmosphere & most importantly the food were absolute top.

Service- very attentive, friendly & knowledgeable. Always there but never too much. Parfait.

Food - all dishes were great, prepared with care & very tasty.

Definitely will be back.

There were four of us in a lovely room with many empty seats. We chose the three course menu. Service was gracious & helpful. It was not inexpensive but gave great value.
