Amazing food, friendly & efficient staff, fun (if a bit loud) atmosphere.
The Cornish hen dish was out of this world: spot-on tender cook with a vibrant sauce, & scrumptious seasonal vegetables cooked to perfection.
On the night that I went, it was particularly busy, & they appeared to be understaffed - longer wait times than average. Nevertheless, the service was friendly.
je suis venue avec mon ami pour une soirée tranquille. ça a bien commencé avec une ambiance posée & agréable. Les cocktails maudits étaient bon, mais un peu difficile d'en profiter quand 3 serveurs nous demandent si on est prêts à commander…
nous avons entamé le repas avec les noeuds d'ail, une agréable surprise! encore là, le moment aurait été davantage savoureux si on avait pas essayé de le rusher. l'attitude était telle que j'ai dû demander s'il y avait une heure maximale d'occupation, ce à quoi on m'a répondu à la positive. je comprends, mais ça aurait été davantage réfléchi de nous en faire part dès le début avant d'autant nous rusher
le repas de mon ami était excellent, j'ai pris les pâtes qui étaient correctes, mais REMPLIES d'écailles des moules... j'ai difficilement apprécié mon repas autant que j'aurais aimé
personne nous a fait goûter le vin, personne n'a demandé si tout était de notre goût. le plus d'interactions que nous avons eues a été de se faire demander si j'avais fini avec la sauce piquante pendant qu'elle était utilisée.
je travaille en restauration, donc j'ai des standards, mais ça reste une expérience qui en vaut la peine que seulement pour la nourriture.
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 .
This place is a freaking GEM! Everything we tried was delightful. My absolute favourite was the roasted shrimp appetiser dish. It was full of flavour, the sauce was to die for, I just wanted to lick every drop off the plate.
The serving sizes are generous. The quality of food is top! The staff were friendly & attentive.
We were a party of four, started with a round of drinks, cocktails were very well balanced. Shared three appetiser, tartare, shrimp & burrata. All very delicious. Then got the steak special & a few share plates for mains. Dessert - carrot cake, a must have too! Again portions for dessert were generous.
Overall, this place was just bomb. Great feels as soon as you walk in, live music, fun vibes, lighting was moody but not too dark! Honestly a beautiful setting.
Amazing strawberry mocktail & juicy burger!. Best of all was the garlic knots with the onion truffle sauce!! It was the best I've ever had & I am a very picky eater!! My server was very lovely & she reccomended that I try the sauce!!
The oysters are fresh & the vinegar sauce fits perfectly. Definetly the best filet mignon we've had in a long time! The service is great & I would 100% recommend this place.
It's a low key restaurant with live performance when we were there. The wait staff was very friendly & helpful & the food was great. We had the rigatoni special, chicken with verde sauce, side Caesar side & grill shrimp appetizer.
My friend said the shrimp was the best he ever had. The side salad was delicious & the portion was huge. The rigatoni & the chicken were both great.
One of the best fillet mignon ever! The sauce was fantastic & those fries 😍 The dessert was also soooo good & I believe it was made in house? The service was also really good & the whole place has such a great vibe! Will definitely come back to Keela when we visit Montreal again!
