Absolutely fantastic! The food was great, particularly the celery carpaccio & the pesto bread. The homemade ice cream is a great dessert! Well worth the trip, will come back next time we are in Montreal.

Our filet mignon was so soft & flavorful. Our appetizer garlic Knotts with dipping sauce was amazing. Service was good. We were seated right away & he lit a candle on table. The neighborhood was a little sketchy as we had homeless people yelling at us .

I loved the celery root carpaccio, but as an American, the steak disappointed me. The sear marks are pretty, but the steak itself had no seasoning. Every steak I've had in the US has a nice crust & at least a saltiness to it that enhances the flavor. I don't think this steak was seasoned at all. It comes with a mustard & a peppercorn gravy. The gravy, I wasn't a fan of, too bitter for my taste. The mustard is too overpowering to dip the steak in it, wouldn't taste the steak. If this is something you would like, enjoy, but if there are any americans considering this, it's likely not to your taste. I saw reviews from two years ago really liking it. In general, I have this attitude of, you can't go wrong with a steak at a restaurant. I don't feel that way anymore. There were two waitresses for the whole restaurant. I'd say short staffed. I sat & ate alone. It was easy to notice the difference in how I was treated. I ordered the carpaccio & then later when I ordered the steak. I was never told the specials. I get it, one person eating doesn't make the same amount in tips… If the steak was delicious I wouldn't have cared though.
