I truly don't understand the hype here. For the price this place is a serious let down. After being seated no one came to see us to get a drink order for 25 minutes. We ordered five dishes as per the waiter's recommendation & waited another 20 between hot courses. Our water was refilled twice during the entire meal. The food was nothing to write home about. The crab salad was good but their "vol au vent" is nothing more than a pot pie with frozen vegetables & more hard boiled egg than scallops. The tartare was buried in shavings of squash with so little fish it just felt like a rip off. As far as ambiance goes it's one of the loudest places I've been to in years. You need to yell just to hear your dinner date. Definitely not a place for an intimate dinner for two. Every time someone orders a dessert they turn up the music to 11 & the server walks around with a "bomb" that serves no purpose other than flash & fanfare. Overall this place is all style & no substance. At over $100 per person I would not recommend it & will not be returning. If you want to have the proper version of a place like this, go to Vin Mon Lapin.

Very mixed feelings but ultimately I will not go back nor would I recommend. The food is good, no complaints on taste or quality. However any main course is portioned off as if it were a tin of cat food. The wine is overpriced & its clearly gouging. The cherry on the cake was the very slow service. The issue here is the cost relative to the experience you get is hilariously pathetic. I doubt the owner will care but this review is honest unlike all those 5 star reviews with no comments...

Prestation médiocre. Une serveuse stressée & stressante, le vin était commun & pas de recommandation. La nourriture est correcte mais pas exceptionnelle, tout comme les cocktails. Ce n'est certainement pas une grande table & comparé au menu de restaurant comme chez Denise ou les cocktails de chez Ratafia, & un paquet d'autres restaurants à Montréal, ce n'est pas au niveau. Nous avons pris le menu dégustation, on nous a parlé de poissons & fruits de mer mais on nous sert une grosse assiette de viande bien lourde & pas très fine en plat de consistance. Une expérience banale à 250 $ par personne.

My partner's birthday celebration was spoiled by our server. We also had her bestfriend from out of the country visiting at the same time. I had planned a dinner at Montreal plaza - hearing all the great reviews & recommendations by friends. We were disappointed in his overall demeanour & professionalism. He had recommended that we order about 5-8 sharing plates for the meal. We had ordered 5 plates (to start), but we felt as if there was a lack of interest in us as he deemed we didn't order "enough". As we we're having our meal, we were praising the food that was served but was welcomed with a passive aggressive undertone. We felt as if we were a nuisance being served. Also to note that his phone was a Pittbull song whilst inside his pockets. We didn't know whether he had forgotten to put his phone on silent, but proceeded to serve the table beside us with the same music blaring on his phone. Although this was the case, the food, the host & food expeditors were very on point. The brussel sprouts, the welks, the yakitori, & the chicken liver mousse were the highlights of our dinner. Shout out to the rest of the team that gave us excellent service. I'm not one to write a review unless I've experienced something that's unacceptable, but unfortunately the vibe was tainted by the server playing "I know you want me" by Pittbull on his phone speaker. The lack of service led us to decide to opt out for dessert & cut our dinner short. The candle & song for celebration were definitely appreciated but simultaneously only a bill & an empty smile from our server was dessert. We would definitely try again with a different server overseeing our experience.

We visited here on our Mini moon, can't put it all to words the amazing time we had here celebrating. We had the tasting menu & added yakitori. Everything is so well thought out from the food to the decorations & atmosphere. Each dish complemented the next & it was well worth every penny. Charles also was there & greeted us & said hello to our little guy, it's great to see him & his partner are still so very involved & there love for the place shows. A memorable dining experience id recommend to anyone.
