Food was good but portions were small for the price.

Nous avons bien apprécié la nourriture. C'était très bon & frais. Cependant, le service était très long. Nous avons attendu longtemps avant qu'on vienne prendre notre commande, & ensuite pour avoir nos assiettes.

I have to say, this place is worth every penny you spend. The food is outstanding, the ambiance is beautiful, & the service is truly A1.

In my humble opinion, this is the best Mexican food in Montreal. Everything we tried was exceptional. The duck tacos, ribeye tacos, & ceviches were absolutely amazing.

Make sure to save room for dessert you'll be pleasantly surprised. Every dish was prepared with care & packed with flavor.

If you're looking for a great dining experience, I highly recommend Balam. Good food, great atmosphere, & memorable moments. Highly recommended!

The thing is that the service is very slow coming from the waitresses. I saw the drinks being quickly ready from the bartenders & just waiting to get picked up & this probably explains why the drinks taste dilluted. Its really too bad because it is a very beautiful place with a lot of potential but there is some training to do, especially with the price you are paying you expect a similar, decent downtown upscale service & we did not get that at all. It felt very fast chain unfortunately. Hopefully it gets better, but it does make me second guess another visit

Drinks were watered down; we had to ask them to add more liquor to our cocktails.
No water was served when seated. We had to ask the waitress after being seated for a good 15-20 minutes. Felt like we were disturbing the waitress when asking for a request.
Overall; nice atmosphere & decor; top notch music; food was good; but they need to work on their service or else they'll loose clientele.

L'accueil & l'atmosphère sont chaleureux & le service est rapide & courtois ! Le décor à l'intérieur du restaurant est impressionnant ainsi que la terrasse.
Le point noir est au niveau de la nourriture ! Il me semble que le menu est à revoir ! Il manque de choix, & surtout au niveau de la qualité & du goût ! Comme si il manque d'épices .. les tacos à la viande pas très fameux
En conclusion, ce restaurant a du potentiel mais je ne classerai pas comme restaurant haut de gamme au niveau culinaire ! Plus tôt moyen normal, donc le prix que nous avons payé n'est pas justifiable

The restaurant itself was beautiful, service was great! Cocktails were delicious.

I did however find it a bit of a nuisance that as soon as we arrived we were told we had the table for 2 hours only but the table wasn't even ready for us when we got there. I was glad they didn't rush us & allowed us to stay longer.
