I went on vacation to celebrate my boyfriend's bday & made a reservation to listen some jazz. From the moment we arrived, the service was wonderful. Our server introduced himself & gave us his recommendations from the menu, which of course we followed & he did not dissapoint!
The food was spectacular. The french onion soup was one of the best we've ever had, & the cocktails were excellent as well.
We will definitely be back, & we've already recommended this place to everyone we know. It's absolutely worth it!

Superbe soirée! Cette fois un service impeccable par Patrice que je remercie tellement de nous avoir accompagné de la sorte ! Le tartare de boeuf, les frites & la mayo à la truffe étaient délicieux! Tout cela suivi par une ambiance jazzy !

Ristorante che offre piatti tipici della cucina francese. Il locale è ampio, servizio molto attento e abbastanza veloce. Consiglio di provare le costolette di agnello che sono squisite!

Incredible experience! The host was very personable, & our server was the best! He was very friendly & the service was immaculate, unfortunately I didn't catch his name but he was one of the best servers I've had in a long time, anywhere. The food is absolutely to die for & the wine was impeccable. The musicians were also incredible. Overall it was such a good evening & I will be sure to recommend this restaurant. We are certain to return the next time we are in Montreal.

Servers are nice but they have to take care more tables. It takes a while to get anything. The duck confit is very good.

I had the rack of lamb. It was just okay. Not very tasty. To be honest. It was a little weak on the salt. Overall we kind of felt a little underwhelmed for what we expected on all our dishes.

I guess my standard & expectation on this restaurant is so high. I ordered the Salmon it was swimming with oil you can see it in the photo, I mentioned it to the server he seem doesn't care. The mussels was plenty but a bit salty, the steak & fries is mediocre. Not sure if we will come back here again. We went for the dining area at the second floor with supposed to be a live music our reservation was at 5:45pm no life music until past 7pm when we were almost done with our food & about to leave.
