Mauvaise expérience.
1. Leur viande est de très bonne qualité & cuisson telle que demandée. Merci au chef !
2. On est venu pour le spectacle de jazz & on nous a installé dans une petite salle isolée entre 4 murs gris foncés.
3. Cocktails moyens le goût de l'alcool est très présent!
4. On a demandé un sorbet framboise & on nous a amené un sorbet au coconut qui goûté le vieu.
5. On a demandé un thé à la menthe & on nous a servie un thé citron gingembre.
6. Tu as juste 2h pour manger donc si tu ne trouve pas de stationnement & tu arrives en retard tu vas sentir la pression du temps tout au long de ton repas.

Bref ordinaire comme expérience!

Had the Catch of the Day. Seabeam fish on a bed of puree pea & potato drizzled with a perfect lemon sauce with capers & sun-dried tomatoes. I find when I eat out it is rare that the flavors hit the palate just right. Here it did!. Add our onion soup starter was the best onion soup I've had! Our server was the kindest & most attentive server. Eating here was the highlight of our Montreal trip!

The service staff was excellent but the food quality was lacking. Risotto & seafood pasta showed up in 10 minutes after ordered, super, super, 🔥 hot. Like it just came out of a blast furnace. Pasta was not fresh & came from a box. Disappointed.

If you are looking for proper French food, Modavie is a great place to check out. They have variety of great options, really good wine selection & their staff are trained to be very professional & observant. They also have live music which makes the experience much more enjoyable.

Aspires to be a jazz/music restaurant with serious cuisine. Mostly a tourist spot that under delivers. Caesar salad was fine. Onion soup lacked broth. Lamb burgers were ok but could use some more flavoring. Scallops were cooked rare , which is ok for many but kitchen declined to do medium on customer request. Musical trio was underwhelming. Would not recommend

Randomly stumbled into the place for early lunch, & this was such a great place. Service was perfect (even helped us keep our little boy asleep in his pram during the entire lunch), & our different dishes were absolutely cooked to perfection. Not a single thing to complain about, easiest 5/5.
