We came to Montreal, very excited for this dinner reservation & was extremely disappointed.
I really wish we had picked another restaurant…
The drinks were very good, the food was awful.
Our sushi, the rice was dried out & old so we had to send it back but still was charged. We had the filet for our main & it was the only thing we actually ate.
The carrots were raw so we couldn't eat them & the fries were cold….
We were shocked at the poor quality of food.
Atmosphere is cool but couldn't get out of there fast enough to actually get something decent to eat.

Would not advise to eat there.

Jai beaucoup aimer le decors etl'atmosphère de cette endroit. Les drinks sont très beaux & bon. Jai commander dans la table d'hôte,la bavette de boeuf (qui etait exelente) tendre a souhait, avec comme entrée des calmars frit & pour dessert gâteau au fromage matcha. Jai passer une soirée agreable entre amis.

Nous voulions manger, finalement le service était tellement long que nous sommes allé ailleurs. Mon cocktail était plus qu'ordinaire.

We had a friend go into anaphylactic shock outside of the club & the owner here made our call to emergency & stayed with us & tended to us until our friend was on her way to the hospital in an ambulance. Thank you so much to the owner for your care.

I made a reservation at Mon? Loa months in advance to celebrate my girlfriend's birthday, & unfortunately the experience did not live up to expectations.

When we arrived, things felt disorganized right away. We were asked to follow another group downstairs, then brought back upstairs & seated there instead of the lower-level area we were hoping for. We were also left standing at the entrance while the other group was seated first.

Our initial table wasn't great, & after politely asking to move-especially since I had been notified our table was ready an hour before-we were relocated to a table right next to the bathroom & kitchen. Not ideal for a special occasion.

Service was inconsistent throughout the night. A nearby table remained dirty for about 30 minutes, & we were missing basic items like silverware. Small details like this made a big difference in the overall experience.

The Mai Tai was excellent, & the bartender clearly knows what they're doing. However, after the first round, the drink sizes noticeably decreased. The menu was also limited, with several items unavailable, including oysters & desserts.

The biggest issue was the food. Portions were small & not filling at all. We spent over $300 & still left hungry, which is hard to justify.

What stood out the most-in a negative way-was how the birthday was handled. While they acknowledged it verbally, the effort felt minimal. My girlfriend received a very simple dessert, while another guest got a more celebratory presentation with a candle, which felt inconsistent & disappointing.

The space itself is beautiful & clearly designed for aesthetics, but the service, food quality, & overall experience didn't match the price point. Unfortunately, I wouldn't return or recommend it for special occasions.
