Very small speakeasy bar in the heart of Montreal. Cocktails were amazing (Mai Tai was the best!) & not too sweet. We had to order a second plate of the Red Tiger sushi because it was so good!

Absolutely amazing experience here! The vibes are insanely cool & the drinks are expertly crafted. Simon was an amazingly attentive bartender & so sweet! Gave me extra olives when I finished my dirty martini without me even asking! Would come here 10/10 times for a girls night or a date!

I have to shoutout Charly for being such a sweet server! We were a bachelorette group & we loved having her celebrate with us.

This place has ambience down to an art. The moment I walked in, it felt like I'd wandered into a stylish underground cave - cozy, moody, & totally different from the usual restaurant setup.

Food-wise, I went all in. The Mona Loa roll was bright & delicious, the Sake King tartare was melt?in?your?mouth good, & the garden rolls were crisp & refreshing. The tofu no hana surprised me with how delicate & flavorful it was. & the dorayaki at the end? Soft, sweet perfection.

A memorable experience from start to finish.
