The atmosphere is noted as elegant and quiet, making it suitable for conversations, romantic dinners, or celebrations, and the dining room and decor receive compliments.

Overall, Tbsp. appears to offer a memorable dining experience with strong creativity, solid service, and a focus on zero waste dishes on newer menus.
We visited Tbsp. on January 2nd, during a quiet evening, likely following the New Year celebrations. We had a delightful dining experience. The winter menu was absolutely delightful, with each dish, from starters to desserts, being perfect. Our server, Jamie, was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, & made excellent recommendations. This place is highly recommended!
WOW ! Had a great time with a friend at this restaurant but we ate in the lobby of the W hotel to enjoyed the night with a DJ, very nice. Food & drinks were delicious & gourmet, service impeccable & the ambiance was the best of all, we ate, drank & dance, highly recommend !
This was a delicious restaurant with lots of interesting offerings. Of them, I thought the squash & Caesar were truly stand outs, & highly recommend everyone to try.
Server Jaime also really gave thoughtful recommendations to break down the menu
Our first time in Montreal & at the W. This was a fantastic experience for dinner. Victoria was wonderful since she knew about the dishes & the wine & was very helpful. The menu was brand new so everyone was nervous about how it would be accepted. No need to worry, the menu was well thought out & the items were well planned & prepared. Flavors were balanced, portions were right on, & service was perfect. My Caesar salad was so well balanced I had no trouble tasting each component individually & combined. If we lived in the area I would make this a regular dinner spot. We would highly recommend the beetroot salad, caesar salad, risotto with scallops, & the encrusted cod with artichokes. The only drawback was the noise from a large group at the bar & in the lobby.
We had an amazing experience here. Jamie was incredible & took care of our big group so well. Gave special attention to each individual & made us feel very welcome. The food was incredible as well. It wasn't just delicious but the presentation & experience was incredible. Highly recommend.
Oliver the bartender was incredible. Best cocktails I've ever had in my life Zach the concierge was extremely knowledgeable about the city, hospitable & generous with his time Amazing hotel & experience & I highly recommend staying here. To the management, give these two guys a raise!!
