Overall, Tbsp. appears to offer a memorable dining experience with strong creativity, solid service, and a focus on zero waste dishes on newer menus.
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!!

PA nous faisait des cocktails à la hauteur de nos goûts personnels. Bref, je recommande à 100% cet endroits.

We came in around 7:30 & it was still pretty quiet but the atmosphere was still super nice. We were able to talk to each other, the music wasn't loud! Our waiter was Chloe & she was super cool & recommended us the red pepper & Parmesan focaccia, ten out of ten!
I would not recommend this restaurant. Our experience began with parking; we were informed that leaving our car near the restaurant entrance was not possible & directed to use the valet service at the neighboring W hotel for $25. However, we managed to find free parking about 40 meters away from the restaurant on our own.The quality of the food was rather disappointing. We mistakenly ordered beef carpaccio, only to find out that the restaurant did not offer such a dish; it was actually beet carpaccio listed on the menu. Despite our error, the waiter accepted our request without clarification & brought us beets instead, which was frustrating. Furthermore, when we ordered a dish described as beef steak, what we received was beef cut into pieces & overcooked. Additionally, the prices for kids' drinks (non-alcoholic Shirley Temple & mojito) were equivalent to those of a glass of beer, which seemed unreasonable. Despite the restaurant being nearly empty with only ten of us for dinner, we were surprised to find an additional 18% charge on the bill for the large group size. Furthermore, the waitstaff included their gratuity in the check without consulting us, which felt presumptuous.In summary, the total price on the bill was exorbitant, considering the subpar quality of the food. We left feeling deeply disappointed; it was a regrettable experience. Don't be swayed by the attractive photos. It is difficult to call this restaurant Italian.
Went for MTL a table with some friends. We were a lot for sure so I can understand a slower service but it almost 4 hours is wild especially for a set menu. It kind of ruined our vibe. There really isn't any ambiance in the dining room. It's a bit off. But near the DJ is good! The food was decent but nothing amazing! Won't go back & dont necessarily recommend it!
