Le service était excellent. Le repas était bon mais sans plus, la sauce des moules ainsi que celle de la salade césar était trop dilué. J'y suis allée aussi précédemment pour un brunch & là leur déjeuner était très bon. Ça dépend ce que vous prenez.View more

It was my first time at this restaurant, the waiter was friendly & accomadating. The food tasted good although, I hesitated to eat it. I had ordered chicken wings & fries it came with salad & dessert. It was presentation that through me off. My food was served on a bamboo board. It look like a cutting board to me. I had asked a waiter why was my food served on a cutting board he said it was a bamboo plate & that's what they traditionally served chicken wings on, he also said, if I had the Beef Flank, it would be the same, it also gives more room to put the bones. I was glad he had explained to me the reasoning behind it, but, in my opinion a plate would have been better, it was very weird to me. That was the only Con.View more

Nice riverside atmosphere with a patio, good service & many menu options. We shared a Caesar salad. A few pieces of the lettuce weren't fresh, & it came with bacon, which I didn't remember seeing on the menu & I had to remove since I don't eat meat.View more

J'adore ce restaurant! C'est l'un des plus beaux sites sur l'île de Montréal. Au bord de l'eau, avec sentier pédestre & piste cyclable. Le paysage avec vue du fleuve St-Laurent est superbe surtout pour les déjeuners. Maintenant avec spéciaux les lundis & mardis. Les serveurs sont courtois, les menus variés, la nourriture est bonne & les prix raisonnables. Je suis un client depuis près de 20 ans & Crescendo fait partie de ma liste de resto en haut de ma liste.View more

Le Crescendo est une place de choix. Nous sommes allés déjeuner comme on fait souvent en famille, le dimanche. Nous sommes toujours satisfait, on se sent écouter & bien servi. Il y a des gens remarquables comme Maxime qui apporte les assiettes, il a toujours le sourire & la délicatesse pour s'assurer que le tout est conforme à notre demande. Sonia, elle est partout, dévouée, attentionnée, respectueuse, son sourire est contagieux. Quelque soit l'achalandage, on est assurée de sa bonne humeur , sa patience, son amour des gens. Ces 2 personnes contribuent grandement à l'image de Crescendo.View more

J'ai passé un excellent moment dans ce restaurant. La nourriture était délicieuse, avec des plats savoureux qui m'ont vraiment plu. Ce que j'ai particulièrement aimé, c'est l'ambiance calme & relaxante. La vue sur le lac est tout simplement splendide, elle apporte une touche magique à l'expérience. Je recommande vivement ce lieu pour une sortie paisible & gourmandeView more
