Came in for dinner & they had a live jazz band! Food was great! It took a while for food to come but it was worth it. Service was great too, staff were attentive & pleasant. Would recommend getting a reservation, place was packed!

Strong dish selection throughout & alot of good flavour setups in the dishes. The mussels & the lamb poutine stood out in particular though. The marinieres I think thats what it is called was good enough you could literally serve it as a soup by itself & people would be happy but it was smooth abd creamy & just packed so much warmth. The poutine made everything work with a delicious gravy & just well braised lamb. Just very solid pairing there overall. The seasonal pasta was a linguini with truffles, mushrooms & some other things that was quite good as well & we had some classics like beef tartare & french onion soup to share amongst us.

Excellent ! Très goûtu & les portions sont adéquates. J'ai pris le tartare de saumon, & je lui donne 4 étoiles simplement car j'aurais aimé avoir une option de choisir de la salade plutôt que des frites en accompagnement (même si les frites étaient bonnes, juste un peu en trop avec le pain croustillant qui accompagne déjà le tartare). L'accueil est professionnel, le service est très agréable, attentionné juste comme il faut, & le restaurant est vraiment élégant & calme, pourtant en plein centre du vieux Montréal bondé. J'y suis allée seule & j'ai été très bien reçue !
J'y retournerais seule ou accompagnée la prochaine fois que j'aurais envie de bien manger avec certitude.
Point bonus pour la carte des vins très détaillée & les bons conseils selon le plat choisi.

Stopped in for wine, cheese & charcuterie, & it was excellent. The cheese was local & exquisite. The pate was an absolute delight.

Food is consistently good. Service is also very good considering how busy they can get. They have live jazz music upstairs & downstairs which i think is a plus. They do have a bar section on the ground floor if you prefer to avoid the larger rooms with live music

Dinner on a Monday night & couldn't believe how incredible it would be. Service is way above expectations & food was delicious. Calamari is worth ordering. Lamb burger is underrated! One of the best burgers I have ever had! The acoustic music upstairs was something I could have sat & listened to for hours.. Just an overall amazing dinner & experience! Make the reservation & enjoy!
