I made a reservation for my birthday in a specific area, sent pictures of the area by email & when I arrived at the restaurant it was occupied & they gave me another one that I did not want at all.

This location is connected to the new Royal Mount Mall, which means theres is plenty of parking available. We came to celebrate my friends birthday here & it was a great atmosphere the location is clean & looks nice. The staff are friendly but service took a bit of time & expect the meal prices ranges from 20-70$. The dishes were actually pretty good but the steak wasn't what we expected. Overall a good experience.

The atmosphere was nice, beautiful however service is horrible. We went to celebrate a birthday & we told the waitress about it that we want cake & sparklers. She asked us when to bring it & we told her after dinner. The food took so long to come therefore by the time we told the waitress it was almost 10pm. She tells us that the dj is gone so there will be no happy birthday song, I told her why she didn't tell us that earlier, we would've done it right after appetizer, while I'm still talking she walks away saying she will get manager & I told her no need but he still came. He comes & says that apparently I should've told manager I wanted a birthday song for her, & that it's on us because we should've known live dj is 5-10pm. I told him that we didn't know & then he was very defensive & I told him we're not on the same page & that we should leave this topic. He tried to still talk but it felt like I was talking to a wall. At the end they bring the cake & it was not nice the way they did, they dropped it off while the birthday person was about getting off her seat so half sparkler gone. It was just not good service & i wouldn't recommend it.

Nice restaurant, clean decor, & good selection of tequila. The food was visually pleasant, & the taste was even better. The guacamole was fresh & delicious. The duck, as well as the surf & turff tacos, were scrumptious. I love the build it yourself concept. They were served with delicious sauces. I loved their meat broth sauce. Great restaurant! I will go back!

De notre coté, ce fût une belle expérience. Le resto est bien décoré. L'ambiance est cool avec un vrai DJ (Samedi 14 Décembre)... La nourriture était délicieuse & les cocktails originaux... Nous étions assis au bar & nous avons reçu un bon service...Le personnel est sympa & notre serveuse a pris le temps de bien nous expliquer le menu ... Nous recommandons l'endroit.... En prime, si vous habitez Montréal, vraiment facile d accès par le métro....
