Had dinner here because it was included in my hotel stay. They let me choose from 2 menus because their bar (Living Room) was combined with this restaurant.
Although service was very friendly, I wasn't too impressed with the food. It was good but overpriced for what it is, especially the Cauliflower Variation which, although very pretty, turned out to just be a fried ring made of cauliflower. The only dish that stood out was the Fried Brussels Sprout Salad, a twist on the classic Caesar salad. It wasn't as nicely presented as the cauliflower dish, but is it worth $23? Not in my book.
Déclinaison de Chou-Fleur (Cauliflower Variation) 6/10
Salade de Choux de Bruxelles Frits (Fried Brussels Sprout Salad) 8/10
Flétan Poché au Lait d'Avoine (Oat Milk-Poached Halibut) 7/10
Wagyu Burger 7/10
Le sous chef Rafael Combet a été gentil, il est venu nous saluer à la table. Ses plats sont délicieux, son nouveau menu est génial, l'attention du serveur Rodrigo très attentionné & service impeccable, il nous a fait des bonnes suggestions. C'était une belle soirée.
Beautiful place with delicious food & good ambiance. We went there for a birthday & the service was impeccable. We tried the experience menu because we could not decide between all the delicious options & every plate was very tasty. We had the ceviche, octopus, beef tartare, steak & focaccia. The drinks were also very good & we appreciated that the place was not too loud so we could have a conversation. Overall 10/10! Would definitely go back.
One of the most incredible restaurants I've visited in Montreal. We had the privilege of sampling their new summer menu & it was far from disappointing! Truly a pleasure & will CERTAINLY be back. The service, ambiance, & meal… 10/10.
Wonderful dining! Amazing Services from Rodrigo & La Tavolla menu was great. Ceviche very flavourful, sprouts, beef tartare, simply amazing. Chef Ralp, right on target! Congrats for the new menu.
This hotel is in the W, it's beautiful, but the service was so slow, & the place was pretty empty. Our food was cold, & we had to ask for it to be warmed up & one of the other guest on my table ordered a dish because there was an error on hers & by the time we were all done eating we were still waiting on hers to come out. I'm staying at the hotel so I figured it would be convenient, but I don't think I'd recommend coming here for dinner. The drinks were very good.
