To be honest, I don't understand why this place has a 4.5-star rating. My wife & I ordered a few dishes & a couple of cocktails.
Starting with the cocktails, they were terrible. We've ordered the same cocktails at other places before, & these were nothing like they should have been.
The food was below average &, for the quality, way overpriced. I had the lobster risotto, a $50 dish that I honestly wouldn't pay more than $15 for. My wife ordered the braised beef tagliatelle. Good luck finding any beef, or even the flavor of beef. It was basically just pasta in tomato sauce.
We paid $160 for dinner & left very disappointed. I can't recommend this place.
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!
My wife & I are visiting from out of town. We grew up in Montreal & always enjoy returning. We just happened upon this wonderful establishment & were very fortunate to have found it. The tasting menu was absolutely on point - every single morsel of food was spectacular. &...the most endearing part of the evening was having the good fortune of being hosted by one of the owners - Michael. A super entertaining, witty & super accommodating host. He was a gem of a person to interact with throughout the evening & we can't wait to return. What a fabulous night.
