I had a really great experience here, & I would say that is very much due to the extremely passionate waitress we had, Rose. Don't get me wrong, the food was good, the entrees were pretty good & the two main dishes were very good, as were the drinks. But the intricate presentation of the menu & the drinks were on another level. The prices were actually not as high as I thought they would be, it is an expensive restaurant, & this was a special occasion, but I've been to more expensive ones that are not as good

It's such a lovely restaurant with great food & amazing people. The food looks simple but cooked with so many details in mind. We were traveling from Amsterdam, & one of our friends highly recommended it. We tried many of their dishes & a few wines. They were all perfect.

We love the food, especially the scallops appetizers! The ambience is good. It's a bit too loud that you need to raise your voice to chat. The service is great. The staff are nice & patient.

Très belle expérience, service parfait. Nous avons adoré les poireaux & les chips & le gâteau sarrasin. Super concept de croque-pétoncle, mais le goût de beurre était un peu trop prononcé.

SO GOOD! The ambiance was awesome - Server(s) were fun, helpful, & engaging (Thanks Rose & Tanya)

Food & Wine was 12/10 - delicious & perfectly timed - never felt rushed or like we waited too long. Finished with some delicious Barolo Chinato!

Très belle expérience culinaire. Le service était parfait avec un personnel très sympathique. Repas de type plats gastronomiques à partager. C'était délicieux. La musique mettait beaucoup d'ambiance mais elle constitue aussi mon seul petit bémol puisqu'elle était un peu forte, on a parfois un peu plus de difficulté à se comprendre. Mais ce petit point négatif ne doit pas vous décourager car tout le reste est fantastique & il est certain que j'y retournerai.

Nous avons beaucoup aimé la nourriture qui fût très inventive & délicieuse, ce n’est pas très cher & c’est un très bon point, j’ai adoré les carottes ainsi que le tartare de boeuf

Le service est bon mais un peu insistant, oui les serveurs sont très bons & qualifié.

One of our standout meals in Montreal, we enjoyed VML’s warm welcome & excellent meal of 5 or 6 small courses, with perfect wine pairings.
I had to plan ahead to get a reservation, but I’m so glad I did.
