Fantastic food, amazing presentation, attentive & engaging staff, & an all around great vibe. The perfect place for our large group to have dined in Montreal. So happy we did!
Had a delicious dinner here on a Saturday night. We were in town for a concert so had an early dinner but still had a great ambiance. Love the vibe, the service was top notch & the food was fantastic. Our server (I think their name was Frances) provided us with great suggestions that took into account our food intolerances. Food was so fresh! Had the bread & butter, eggplant, chicken skewer, catch of the day & cucumber feta. Everything was lovely but the fish was a stand out! Will be back next time we're in town for sure!

the vibe & service here are very nice. no complaints to that end. but my rating is mostly based on food & whether or not i see myself coming back. i have to start with the good: the lobster shrimp toast was amazing & i would get that again in a heartbeat. i also enjoyed the baked potato. unfortunately we were quite disappointed with the meats that we ordered which i thought would have been the main star of the meal (lamb, duck, porchetta). fyi they didn't come with any sauce which u have to order separately for $5 extra. not sure if this is common practice but i found it odd since i'm used to having meats come with wtv sauce. anw we felt that the meats were dry & tough to chew so we didn't have a good experience with it
