My dinner companion & I spent a pleasant evening at this intimate dining spot in Old Montréal, a first for both of us. The ambience was warm & welcoming, as was the greeting offered upon arrival. The lighting was subdued, & the cosy bar looked perfect for a solo diner or even a couple if intimacy was not an objective. Staff were very friendly & affable both at the bar & serving the table.
We asked our server, Lianne, for recommendations & took her advice for the three appetizers we decided to share. The Kale Caesar salad was delicious, as were both others, the Smoked Bone Marrow amd the Fish Cake. We also very much loved the Chocolate Salt Caramel Cake & Ice Cream. The bottle of Bordeaux Superiere I selected was excellent. Unfortunately, the Tomahawk steak we ordered as our main, was a disappointment. It was quite sinewy which made it difficult to cut & chew. Now, I dine out frequently, & I know that each cut of meat a restaurant procures cannot always be guaranteed to be perfect, so I don't blame them. In fact, they went above & beyond by comping our dessert as well as the Tomahawk. That was unexpected, but very much appreciated. To me, that demonstrated that they were also disappointed in not having delivered the perfect meal that evening. Their service recovery ensured that we would be left with a positive impression, which was exactly the case. I'm very happy to have discovered this venue, & I'm anxious to return. I found their prices & wine markup to be very reasonable, especially given their location. À la prochaine!
Ha sido una experiencia increíble. Me he sentado en el bar. Las ostras estaban perfectas, frescas. La atención de Michael fue increíble. Llegué sin reservación e inmediatamente hicieron todo lo posible por atenderme. La comida es deliciosa. Los clientes se veían deleitados por sus platos. Yo pedí la hamburguesa y estaba perfecta. Quedé con ganas de pedir el bone marrow. Volveré sin duda si regreso a Montreal!
We had the most fantastic meal. The atmosphere is comfortable & unpretentious, & both the quality of food & the service is outstanding. Bone marrow was a decadent appetizer. Beef tagliatelle & the Duck special were decadent but not overwhelming. Highly recommend & we hope to return.

Food was just ok. Bone marrow was good & soup of the night. The pasta was not cooked enough & small portion. The broccolini was not cooked enough & crunchy/hard.
Very good food in a cozy, homey setting. Would definitely recommend reservations. We didn't have any & were told we could have a table if we were able to finish in a little over an hour. Since the food took a bit to get we ended up skipping dessert & any extra drinks to try to honour that (& because the hostess was clearly anxious for us to head out & handed the waitress our check immediately after we finished our entrees) We had the bone marrow, schnitzel, & lemon risotto. My husband liked his schnitzel but said he preferred the risotto overall. The Moscow moose is really good too. If we are ever back in the area we'd consider stopping again for the friendly service & tasty food.
Went out for dinner everything was amazing! The bone marrow was really good & the service was top notch. Mike the owner & Alyssa, were amazing! Would totally come back again (:
Delicious, fresh oysters, shucked at the bar by casual, friendly owner. Beef tartare was as good as it gets. The bone marrow lived up to its reputation & was simply outstanding. Reasonably priced wine for the area. Tried some fantastic Canadian wines as well. Regular customers friendly & had great chats at the bar. Outstanding atmosphere with the feel of a place that's under constant care & love. Do not miss this place.
