Resto Keela earns widespread praise for its welcoming vibe and consistently excellent food. Signature dishes like the octopus, celery root carpaccio, salmon tartare, and the rib or filet mignon are repeatedly highlighted, and oysters on Tuesdays are a particular favorite. The menu is described as creative and well paced, with breads, beignets for dessert, and flavorful sides adding to the experience. Service is often described as friendly and attentive, and the staff create a lively yet homey atmosphere, though a few reviews note slower service when the restaurant is crowded. Cocktails and wine receive strong praise for variety and quality. Prices are sometimes seen as high, but many feel the quality and overall experience justify the cost. It is described as a hidden gem in the Village and a top pick for return visits. A few remarks mention accessibility issues or occasional hiccups in service when busy.
Excellent food! Great service! Having said that our server was run off her feet. An additional server is needed. Again, excellent food, wonderful wine & music & the server was great, just too busy.
Outstanding dinning experience!! Starting with the fabulous unique dishes that were incredibly created by one of Montreal's top chef's Johnny Hamilton. Then the service was top level & all our needs were taken care of with perfect recommendations from Kristin who is one of the owners. The vibe was amazing with live music that made the entire experience wonderful for our family holiday weekend. We have travelled the world as a family & Keela is top of the list & cannot recommend it enough. Go check it out!
Food was really good, but the guy TIP SHAMED US!!!!
Extremely rude!!! He even back chatted us saying'if you are eating here yall should be able to afford an extra TIP!'
The reviews are not an exaggeration! 10/10 meal. Service, drinks & food were out of this world. the gem of the neighborhood & we already cant wait to go back!
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.
