A very elegant restaurant, great food & atmosphere. Didn't get drinks but their garlic snails & poutine are must trys for appetizers. Can't go wrong choosing anything with lamb on their menu. I had the Quebec Lamb Pappardelle & was not disappointed

Lovely atmosphere & great live music & service both upstairs & downstairs.
The food was mediocre, especially for the price. I would recommend going here for drinks & a appetizer to enjoy the jazz.

I came here with my friend & had an amazing experience! The service was amazing & great atmosphere. We ordered the onion soup, garlic snails, foie gras, & seafood pasta. Awesome food & attentive service. Every dish was made well, the only dish that was disappointing is the snails. They were small & did not taste fresh.

We live almost next door & have very happy with our experience until the evening of August 18... The menu & quality dropped from a few months ago. Looks like it changed hands & philosophy. We went to the bar around 9:30 pm, ordered a glass of chard & a glass of dessert wine Sauternes. A apple pie & a à Paris Brest pastries to complement the wines. We were definitely scammed by the bartender when the glass of Sauternes was only 1 1/2 ounce for $20 & the glass of Chardonnay was $32 ! The pastries were a disgrace to any pastry chef alive. 118$ for two glasses of wine & two gross desserts is not the Montreal I know & live in especially in my neibourghood.

Le "suprême" de poulet était petit & pas très bon (tout sauf "suprême"!), la portion de patate était symbolique. Les moules étaient pleines de sables & les frites étaient des frites congelées. Le couli de chocolat noir du dessert profiteroles n'était pas bon du tout & ne s'agençait pas avec la crème glacée. Le flanc caramel était plus qu'ordinaire. Nous avions réservé pour le Montréal à Table depuis le mois d'août & ils ont refusé de respecter notre réservation. Pour essayer de nous compenser, ils nous ont donné du Porto qui semblait dilué avec de l'eau... Le band de Jazz était peut-être acceptable mais leur son plein de résonnances a tout gâché... Bref, première & dernière fois pour nous. Le pire des 10 Montréal à table jusqu'à maintenant.

Très bon service.
Le serveur était très attentionné.

La bouffe était bien, mais sans plus.
