Le service était rapide, sympathique & attentionné sans être envahissant. On sent que tout est pensé pour offrir une expérience agréable & accessible, sans compromis sur la qualité. Un restaurant où on mange bien, sans prétention, avec des produits de qualité & une belle énergie.

Un vent de fraîcheur souffle sur Montréal avec l'arrivée de Phillips Bar, qui reprend le flambeau du Nomi avec brio. Une cuisine savoureuse, généreuse, aux cuissons parfaitement maîtrisées. Mention spéciale au canard, tout simplement délectable, & aux tartares - boeuf & King salmon - élaborés avec finesse & équilibre.

Petit bémol sur le maki terre & mer : la crevette y prend un peu trop de place, éclipsant la richesse de la viande. Une inversion des rôles pourrait mieux mettre en valeur les deux saveurs.

Un grand merci à Vincent, attentionné & chaleureux tout au long du repas. Une belle découverte qu'on a déjà hâte de revisiter. Bravo à toute l'équipe!

It is beautiful inside & music is on point.

Service was a bit slow to start, but it picked up & significantly improved as the night went on.

Food is great. Standouts were the tuna handroll & onigiri. Those two were by far the best.
