Sincèrement le pire service reçu. Aucun suivi, aucune vérification, nos plats n'étaient pas conformes, steaks beaucoup trop cuit, mais nous n'avons pas été en mesure d'aviser par manque de présence de cette serveuse. La nourriture était bonne mais le manque de service à la clientèle ont ruiné l'expérience. Un grand merci à la serveuse Pénélope, nous n'étions même pas dans sa section & elle a prit la chance de nous servir quand ils nous manquaient des choses importantes. Elle a su rattraper un peu le coup mais tout de même important de souligner que pour le prix, expérience service à la clientèle plus que ordinaire. Je vous souhaite mieux si vous l'essayer.

I'm so glad I stumbled upon this gem! The cozy atmosphere is perfect for a night out, & the staff are incredibly friendly & welcoming. The food Absolutely divine! I tried the New York steak, & it literally melted in my mouth , it was that tender & flavorful! But what really took my experience to the next level was the free valet parking. No more stressing about finding a spot on Notre Dame Street! It's little touches like that which make this place truly stand out. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a top-notch dining experience. Five stars, hands down!

I was told about this place, & I'm so happy I took the chance to go, the waitress was called Danaelle. A beautiful blonde girl so sweet, sweeter than any dessert they have. She was so caring. She is really good & we had such a good time there. I miss it already I'll be back soon for sure. It's now my favourite place in mtl. Thanks to Danaelle for that. Words can't describe so you should see for yourself! Enjoy

Nice restaurant in the Ville-Marie neighborhood of Montreal. The steaks & burgers are great & all the sides were amazing. I had the Chimichurri skirt steak & it was moist & tender. The Chimichurri was very fresh & maybe could have used a little more time for the flavor to develop. The wine selection was great & reasonably priced. The servers were very busy & we did some waiting but they were very professional & friendly. We were seated quickly at a four-top but were crowded by a large table next to us & I was repeatedly bumped during dinner which was frustrating. We were in the open air seating area which was delightful but it could maybe use one less table.
