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.
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!
Good restaurant located between Old Montreal & downtown Montreal. It has a very calm atmosphere, low noise level, & beautiful décor. The service was excellent.
The only thing I must mention is that the food was always served cold. I visited three times: once for breakfast, once for lunch, & once for dinner, & on all three occasions the dishes were excessively cold. A cold steak, where even the fat was already cold, was not a good experience. This might explain why the restaurant itself always felt cold. Perhaps this is something they should take into consideration.
Aside from that, the service was excellent. The place is very nice, & I would recommend it for couples, as it is quite quiet & romantic.
Wandered in on a cold day, & found this chic, unassuming restaurant. The food was stellar & service was great. The waitress was super attentive, & helpful. I got the eggs Benedict & it came on the most perfectly toasted sesame seed bagel. The potatoes were well seasoned & it came with fresh fruit. I got a sweet Caroline to drink, & definitely recommend.
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 !
Was staying at the W & decided to stop in for some breakfast after check out. The restaurant is very beautiful. The coffee was delicious & my meal (Norwegian bagel) was quite good (basic, but good). Prices are a bit on the high side I would say, but overall was happy & would recommend.

J'ai adoré mon expérience au TBSP. Jamie nous a servi & connaissait le menu comme sa poche : il nous a très bien conseillé & nous avons été très satisfaits de notre repas. Je tiens aussi à mentionner Marcel & Guillaume qui nous ont offert un service impeccable :) Je recommande vivement le TBSP si vous avez des occasions spéciales à célébrer ! Les plats étaient excellents :)
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
Service très sympathique & professionnel, merci à Jamie qui nous a servi & a été très agréable ! Les plats sont également très bon, nous recommandons +++
