The restaurant provides a good dining experience with decent atmosphere. We came for a business dinner with a guest speaker. It also seems like a pretty nice place for dates. The food is decent, but obviously portion is relatively small as a tradeoff for the experience.

Superbe endroit! Gastronomie fantastique! Même si les portions paraissent petites, elle sont très bien faits, pas de sensation de faim ressentie. Cependant, les tables sont très proches, je ne suis plus ma conversation, & j'entends le dialogue des autres ce qui perturbe l'atmosphère.

We went there for lunch, restaurant part. The food was excellent, I'm picky & I can say that it was very good. I took : the cauliflower soup : creamy with chunks of cauliflower a little bit sour (excellent) veal cheek : extremely tender, the sauce is excellent Atmosphere is nice, not too loud even if we were in a corner, that helps. Expensive around 50$ for my share before taxes/tip, they could improve the best value. I will come back.

Great experience. It's pricey but we really enjoyed it. Pretty formal & upscale vibes with a huge wine selection. We sat in the dining room (menu is very different from the bar) & had the scallop crudo, grilled sweetbreads & the cote de bouef for 2. Our server was attentive but not intrusive which was great. Did a good job of explaining the menu & helping pick a wine. Fair warning - if you get the cote de bouef you may want to consider not ordering from every course as the portion is massive! It was a perfectly cooked giant steak with really great potatoes au gratin & a simple salad. Would like to go back & try the brasserie menu as that looked excellent as well.

The octopus & the duck were fantastic. The service was slow, & we had to ask for bread twice, but it's a very pretty restaurant & we liked the food

Outstanding. Lobster farro was amazing. The braised veal cheeks were the most succulent thing I've ever eaten. Awesome cocktails & cool vibe. I would go back in a heartbeat the next time I'm in Montreal.

Dined in the back section. Atmosphere was a bit more formal than the front: swanky dinner. I was surprised that the menu was not completely classic French, but that there were dishes with Japanese or other influences. The dishes were all well done, nicely balanced, with a little inventiveness about them. Duck - always one of the tests - was very good. I also really enjoyed the cold scallop starter with its tomato water. Star dessert was the strawberry tart. Our waiter started out a little cool as probably matches the atmosphere but soon started engaging with us, which was nice. The couple sat next to us were having some personal drama at their table. The restaurant staff were SUPER professional about handling their table, which I'm sure everyone appreciated. Not a cheap dinner but would return if I lived here.
