Lovely staff & vibe is great! We ordered the filet mignon when we went. Unfortunately, the meal was cold. The truffles fries are not truffle fries…they taste like frozen fries put into a fryer. The steak looks & tastes like it was frozen & put on a grill to warm up. It is unfortunate because the overall vibe of the place is good but the food & drinks & the price of it all does not make it worth it…

Ambiance is nice but drinks are nothing special (bartenders should taste their drinks b4 serving them) every drink was way too acidic. Food was nothing special. Karrage chicken was good but sushi rolls were mid.

Nous avons célébré la Saint-Valentin chez Mona Loa & quelle magnifique soirée.
Dès notre arrivée nous avons été charmés par l'atmosphère élégante & accueillante que nous propose l'établissement. L'ambiance était parfaite pour un souper romantique avec ma chérie.
Le menu spécial (table d'hôte) était exceptionnel des saveurs parfaitement équilibrées & des plats préparés avec beaucoup de soin. Le personnel était chaleureux, souriant & très attentif à nos besoins ce qui était très plaisant pour le bon déroulement de notre soirée.

Une expérience inoubliable que nous recommandons sans hésiter pour une soirée spéciale à Montréal 💖🌹.

My girlfriend & I visited from New Jersey, USA while staying in Montreal for Valentine's weekend. We went on 2/13 & were seated right away at their lovely bar. From the ambience, to the customer service to the very tasty cocktails & chicken appetizer- we had a wonderful experience. The bar staff & manager gave us a great experience & showed us their new bar in the basement. What a great place! We will definitely return & recommend to our friends.

J'ai été malade , pas certain que le thon & le saumon des tartares ainsi que la pieuvre étaient frais & bien entreposés. Mette continuellement la musique trop forte , on ne s'entend plus parler, après l'avoir baisser à 5 reprises quand on n'en parlait à la serveuse.

La nourriture etait excellente au goût, le service impeccable & l'ambiance visuelle extra. Dommage que les points plus haut gâchent tout, je n'y retournerai plus.

Vous aimerez le petit coin feu à l'extérieur.
