Lost diamond ring - $2,000 reward.
I'm feeling devastated after my wife misplacing her engagement ring on November 2 at 8:00 PM. We were at the table right in front of the live music stage. This piece is deeply sentimental, & we are heartsick that it's gone. We know it's a desperate move, but if you come across it, please hand it to the manager of the restaurant or reach me directly. I'm offering a $2,000 cash reward, no questions asked, for its safe return.
I also want to acknowledge the Modavie team -the whole team patiently searched with me, checked around the stage & nearby areas, & stayed so kind & friendly throughout. We are truly grateful for their effort & care.

Went on Sunday for the jazz brunch. I had the salade Nicoise & my wife the eggs Benedict with lamb. Great atmosphere, food & music by a cool 3 piece combo.
Quelle belle soirée nous avons passé auprès de l'équipe de Modavie!
Les plats y sont très raffinés, les musiciens talentueux & les serveurs professionnels & sympathiques, on recommande !
Stopped in for the live music. Hung out waiting for a flight & had great food & cocktails. Fois Gras & Onion Soup were perfect. Excellent space & bar too!!
We had a lovely dinner at this charming French restaurant. We ordered the house salad, onion soup, & rack of lamb. Everything was delicious & beautifully presented. The lamb was a bit more cooked than I would have preferred, but it was still flavorful.
Service was friendly & attentive. We were seated in the room next to the live music, which was perfect - we could enjoy the ambiance while still having an easy conversation. Overall, a wonderful dining experience that I'd happily recommend.
Live music, tasteful food, & great service. The location is good, but parking can be tough because the area is always busy. Still, it's definitely worth visiting.
Good food, but weird reservation system. Have to specify that you want to sit near live music when reserving, otherwise you will be sat far away where you can not hear the live music.

Had a very good meal. The jazz music have a very relaxing atmosphere. The food was very well prepared & tasted very good. I had a steak, next time I think I would try something different. Desserts were good.
An absolutely amazing experience! Had them on my list of places to go all week. On my last day, popped in there & it's was exactly what i had been looking for. We ordered off of the dinner menu-- charcuterie & cheese, beer, iced tea, mushroom risotto with a side of lamb & the nicoise salad. Everything was absolutely perfect. The cheese was local, the meats & accrumets were well paired & each was a great stand alone. The lamb were spiced perfectly & the risotto was hot & toasted nicely. The nicoise salad was heaven on a plate. The bread & butter were to die for. The vibe was excellent, with light music & the decor was simple & true to the restaurant. Honestly, this was my favorite restaurant I tried in all of Montreal. What topped it off was the service. We showed up early, without a reservation & were promptly guided to a corner table for two by incredibly friendly & professional maitre'd, Lorenzo. He was just a delight to have around & checked on us many times. Our waiter, William, was so warm & welcoming & extremely attentive to our needs. All in all, prices were shockingly low for the value we felt we got back in experience & food. It is a place I would 100 percent visit again, probably multiple times, on my next trip to Montreal. Thank you to the staff & chef for such an amazing send off. - Your friends from Seattle
Excellent experience. Can I give everything, including our server Buddy, 10 stars? Buddy was very helpful explaining the menu. He was fun. We ordered a cocktail (so many to choose from) & a local beer. Then we ordered a cheese platter to start. Buddy suggested he hold off on putting in the appetizer order 5+ minutes until we finished our cocktails so we could fully enjoy the cheese with our wine. Great thinking Buddy! Cheese was very delicious. We ordered duck confit & rack of lamb. Both so delicious & juicy. Even though we were absolutely stuffed, I still had to order crème brûlée. Perfect. I was honored to have a sparkler in it to celebrate my birthday. Thank you. There was great Live music too. Well worth our 8 hour drive from Petrolia, Ontario for supper!
Incredible restaurant that we went to twice on our 5 day trip. Food is delicious - rack of lamb, lamb chops & lamb cavetelli all excellent. I'd recommend the cavetelli - lamb,pasta & sauce were excellent but everything was delicious. Live music was great. Family friendly restaurant & the hospitality & generosity of the waiters made it feel like home. They washed my 2 year old daughter's plate we brought at the end. Very kind gesture that we've never experienced anywhere else. Thank you hope to come again soon.
Delicious food & good vibe. We booked early for dinner at 5pm, 2 hour sitting time, recommended reservations, especially if you want to come around 7pm to experience Jazz live music. Their onions soup is a must try, they are also popular for lamb chops, my partner said it's is really good. Will definitely come back
