Delicious meal with fantastic service! Our waiter Alan was amazing & made our experience even more enjoyable. Highly recommend the lobster appetizer, the pepper sauce for your steak & the mille feuille for dessert!

We started with the beef tartare & Oysters Rockefeller appetizers, then ordered the bone-in filet cooked rare+ to share along with the loaded Monte Carlo potato & lobster mac & cheese. For dessert, we had the crème brûlée & even took a cheesesteak to go.
I'll be honest - I was a little nervous at first because there were so many reservations available, but I'm incredibly glad we decided to come. Our server, Antoine, was outstanding & made the experience even better. Between the exceptional service, perfectly cooked food, & overall atmosphere, this was easily one of the best dining experiences - & the best steak - I've ever had, & we travel quite a bit. Thank you for making our experience everything we wanted!

It was one of the best meals I've had in my lifetime!
The pickles, coleslaw & bread are almost enough for a meal & they are delicious!
I had the cod & creamed corn.
Best ever!
My husband had the bone in rib eye.
Best steak he's ever had. Put The Keg to shame!
Please open a Moishes in Toronto! We need this!

Stumbled into Moishe's on a quiet Sunday morning before the lunch rush, & the dining room already had that lived-in warmth you only find in places that have been doing things right for decades. The dry-aged ribeye I ordered was textbook - properly rested, beautifully charred on the outside, & pink all the way through without being asked twice. The waiter, an older gentleman who clearly knew the menu cold, steered me toward the house-made pickles as a starter & I was glad he did. If you travel enough to know the difference between a steakhouse that's famous & one that actually earns it, Moishe's is firmly in the second category.

My first visit to Moishes Restaurant did not meet the expectations of the original establishment on St. Lawrence Street.

Upon arrival, I encountered an issue with parking. When I parked my car, my wife was not assisted in opening the door. The parking fee was $23, which was not included in the initial charge.

The restaurant's atmosphere was also disappointing. The tables were made of wood without tablecloths, & the chairs were uncomfortable. The service was adequate but unremarkable. My wife enjoyed her rib steak, while I found the filet mignon bone in to be far from the quality of the original Moishes Steakhouse.

A significant issue arose when the waiter presented the bill. Instead of displaying the subtotal before taxes, he presented the full total, including taxes. This practice is not only against the law but also against Quebec's tipping customs.

The overall atmosphere was cold & uninviting, & the staff's demeanour was similarly unfriendly. This experience did not reflect the standards of the original Moishes Steakhouse. It appears to be a standard steakhouse that should reconsider its name. $450 with tip plus $23 valet

Moishes is a fantastic choice for a friends' night out. The vibe feels classic & special-lively enough for a celebration, but still comfortable for a long catch-up. Steaks are perfectly cooked & full of flavor, sides are generous & made for sharing, & the cocktails/wine list make it easy to turn dinner into a full evening. Service is polished & attentive without being pushy, so everything flows smoothly. If you want a memorable night with great food & that'treat yourself' atmosphere, Moishes delivers.

Friendly, efficient service. The ribeye was delicious, juicy, well cooked (ordered medium), well seasoned & most importantly not too salty. They offered the option to add additional salt & spices to my own taste & preference but I found it was not required for my own palate. I also got a complementary red wine sauce to pair with the steak but still found that the steak stood well on its own.

Ordered a side of garlic mash potatoes that paired nicely with the steak. Appreciated the complementary bread & butter, coleslaw & a crispy pickle served prior to the appetizer & entree. The waiter was also diligent in refilling my glass with water & checking in on my needs, including a refill of the complementary add ons (I decided to request another pickle). He was also kind enough to strike a general conversation about the city & giving tips on touring the area.

I'll be back here with family the next time I visit Montreal. Thanks for the pleasant visit & dining experience.

Pour moi, l'expérience chez Moishes était carrément 5 étoiles. J'ai commandé un steak, pis je peux dire que c'était un des meilleurs que j'ai mangés de ma vie. La viande était incroyablement tendre pis savoureuse. Le service était aussi très professionnel le personnel était attentionné, mais sans être envahissant. Le menu est un peu cher, mais on sent vraiment la qualité. Je recommande sans hésiter pour une soirée spéciale. C'était une expérience vraiment agréable.

Very respectful & friendly staff. Wide variety of wines. Tasted flavorful & cooked to perfection. The mashed potato is a must try believe me. (As a reference, one 8-ounce fillet mignon & one New York steak, one mashed potato, & one big serving of asparagus(perfect for sharing), & two glasses of wine , along with one homemade cheesecake at the end, with the tax & tip ended up to be around $400)
As for the Parking, they offer valet parking for $23
