In the dining room, Martin Bernier, the owner, welcomes you into a setting where maple wood, stainless steel, and stained glass blend seamlessly to create an enchanting ambiance. Martin will guide you through the exceptional wines in our extensive wine cellar and advise you on our wide variety of privately imported wines, with bottles starting at an affordable $28.

J'ai pris la table d'hôtes. La crème de poulet était délicieuse. Le boeuf bourguignon très bon avec légumes & patates. Bonne portion. Je suis rassasié & le prix très raisonnable.View more

Fabulous food & service at this restaurant. We went in for lunch on a Wednesday & we were seated inside by a window overlooking the water. It was truly a lovely view. The waitress, Lorraine was very welcoming & we could not have had better service. We had the mussels & Caesar salads, the mussels were a huge portion & served hot in a metal pot. The salads were very good with just the right amount of dressing. This is a great spot & next time I go, I will try to save room for dessert as they looked fabulous.View more

Breakfast is pretty good. But cannot give 5 stars for any breakfast that servers deepfried potatoes. Great patio & dining room. Quality drip Coffee. Good place for families.View more

Le meilleur endroit de Montréal pour manger au bord de l'eau & le seul restaurant à être physiquement au bord du fleuve, on y va pas pour la qualité de la nourriture & cela n'est pas important mais pour l'endroit & l'accueil.View more

Thought I had a delightful girls brunch on the water there & was going to suggest it to my family the next time they were looking to get together. Food was just okay, but the place is lovely. My bubble was burst after a friend spoke up about a weirdly advertised meal (The deux deux deux). While the manager comped her meal he came up to her as we were leaving & said he didn't want her business. He's lost more than hers!View more

Beau restaurant situé sur le bord de l'eau avec une terasse l'été. La salle peu être réserver pour des évènements. La nourriture est bonne, surtout les déjeuner.View more

Service impeccable, personnel souriant & professionnel. Nourriture excellente & très variée. Excellent rapport qualité prix. Ça vaut vraiment le déplacement, autant pour les déjeuners qu'un repas rapide le midi & en soirée entre amis. Stationnement gratuit sur le terrain du restaurant.View more

Bavette de boeuf & frites! Délicieux, cuit parfaitement & assaisonnée juste assez. Bonne portion de frites juliennes, super bonnes! Je recommande!View more

Aujourd'hui, nous sommes allés au restaurant Crescendo avec plus de 40 personnes & le service était rapide, la nourriture délicieuse. J'ai opté pour une salade César. Bien que la salade soit correcte, elle pourrait être améliorée. En revanche, le dessert était délicieux. Quant à la sangria rouge, elle aurait besoin d'une amélioration, car son goût n'était pas tout à fait satisfaisant. C'est un endroit agréable mais qui pourrait bénéficier de quelques ajustements.View more

Supper : Excellent tasty gastronomical, many choices of dishes. But, they serve the Margarita drinks in regular glasses & not the Margarita cups (-1*). Breakfast : Very good food, but the fruits that come with most dishes are limited. Prices are reasonable.View more
