This was our first visit. The beef short ribs were to die for. I would definitely return just to have them again.

Honestly the vibe & aesthetic are top notch. I truly felt that I left montreal for a second & got submerged into a different atmosphere. The service was amazing, everyone was timely & on point. Super professional, kind, & lively. The food however, is not the best, comparing it to its competitors, in terms of quality & price. We had the french onion soup, salmon tartare, the hanger steak & the halibut fish plate. Like it was definitely edible & enjoyable, but would I come here again? No. It just wasn't that tasteful nor astonishing. Because there are better options like terrasse Nelligan & The Keg Steakhouse. An overall 7.5/10z

The food is very good at grinder & I would recommend it only for the food, the service from our waiter was non existent on the other hand. Took forever to place our order & our waiter was no where to be found the whole time we were there! First there was an appetizer that was completely forgotten about & never brought out after that 2 other drinks that were ordered were forgotten about we had to ask again for the drinks & waiter said oh to be honest I forgot to punch them in like THANKS, later we received our bills, where was our waiter when we were ready to pay? Oh at the bar having a good time taking shots not noticing that we were all ready to pay & leave ! Very unenjoyable experience when you have a server like ours.

Surf & turf platter (for 2) is pricey but very good! It comes with two sides - I recommend the Brussel sprouts & the mushrooms. The NY steak was cooked perfectly & scallops were perfect.

The best stake house in the city & arguably one of the best restaurants overall. Service is fantastic & food is always delicious. You can't go wrong with any of their appetizers. I've been a customer for years. They know what their doing.
