Je souhaite partager mon expérience dans ce restaurant afin d'exprimer ma déception quant au service reçu.

Tout d'abord, la nourriture était correcte, mais rien de particulièrement remarquable. Par exemple, le steak que j'ai commandé manquait de sel, au point que j'ai dû en demander pour pouvoir l'assaisonner moi-même. Dans l'ensemble, le repas était simplement acceptable, sans plus.

Cependant, le problème principal concerne ce qui s'est passé après le repas. N'ayant pas très faim, je n'ai pas terminé mon plat & j'ai donc demandé à ce qu'on emballe le reste pour l'emporter. Le serveur a pris mon assiette afin de préparer l'emballage. Pendant ce temps, je me suis rendue aux toilettes.

À mon retour à la table, l'emballage contenant le reste de mon repas avait disparu. Lorsque j'ai demandée ce qu'il s'était passé, le serveur m'a répondu qu'il l'avait jeté à la poubelle & qu'il se trouvait dans les déchets. Autrement dit, la moitié de mon plat - que j'avais expressément demandé à emporter - a été jetée sans mon consentement.

Lorsque j'ai exprimée mon étonnement & mon mécontentement, on m'a même demandé si je souhaitais récupérer le paquet dans la poubelle, ce que j'ai trouvée extrêmement déplacé & irrespectueux.

Je considère que ce type de traitement envers un client est très grave & témoigne d'un manque de professionnalisme & de respect. Cette expérience a malheureusement laissé une impression très négative.

Une très belle découverte à Montréal. L'ambiance est parfaite, avec un band qui joue pendant le souper & qui crée une atmosphère vivante sans être envahissante. Le service était amical & attentionné. J'ai choisi les moules comme plat principal & elles étaient tout simplement exceptionnelles, parmi les meilleures que j'ai mangées dans ma vie. J'y retournerai sans hésiter!

Great location in Old Montreal, & 4 of us visited the week of Happening Gourmand March/26. Great ambiance with or without the jazz music that started around 7 PM Priced competitively with a solid menu selection but we opted for the fix prix 2 course special & were not disappointed, & of course added dessert. Excellent drink list. Service with Rad was superb & when a server has been with the restaurant 29 years, that tells you something too. Definitely would visit again!

One of my favourite restaurants in Montreal to go to with friends when we're in a mood to eat dinner on a Friday night with live music. This resto always offers great food & nice music.
