Un cellier prestigieux, une cuisine sans pareille et un service comme il ne s’en fait plus: vivez l’expérience vintage!
Cette expérience en grilladerie est incomparable… Le restaurant Rib’n Reef, qui peut se vanter de la gloire de ses 50 fructueuses années d’existence, apporte maintenant la touche de modernisme et de flamboiement de la véritable restauration de grand luxe.
Dès son arrivée, on a droit au service de voiturier puis, à l’intérieur, au service courtois et attentionné aux quatre coins de sa table. Le menu diversifié met à l’honneur le bœuf nourri au grain, bœuf de première qualité approuvé USDA, vieilli et fraîchement coupé chaque jour, un appétissant assortiment de poissons frais, de fruits de mer et de homard, tous apprêtés à la perfection.
Dans l'ensemble, Rib 'N Reef est perçu comme un steakhouse haut de gamme avec une ambiance chaleureuse et élégante et un salon de cigares dédié, où les steaks sont souvent loués pour leur cuisson parfaite et les fruits de mer, accompagnements et présentations sur table ajoutent à l'expérience, tandis qu'un service attentif et un programme de vins solide sont régulièrement soulignés; toutefois, plusieurs avis soulignent des prix élevés, des incohérences occasionnelles dans la cuisson ou le service, une salle bruyante ou bondée et des problèmes éventuels liés au rapport qualité-prix ou au service de voiturier.
Serving possibly one of the best steak tartares in Montreal. If not the only traditional style tartare prepared tableside. Edit note- Ok so as Peter has requested, I changed my rating to 5 stars.
Le service était horrible. Il nous a fallu 37 minutes avant que le serveur vienne prendre notre commande de boissons. Il n'a pris que la moitié des commandes, puis est reparti sans explication.
Même situation pour les repas : nous avons reçu nos entrées alors que le reste de la table recevait déjà son plat principal, ce qui a complètement désorganisé le repas.
Concernant la cuisson, j'avais commandé une viande médium, mais elle est arrivée brûlée en surface & bleue à l'intérieur, donc clairement mal cuite.
La nourriture était passable, le service épouvantable, & le tout pour un prix exorbitant. Une expérience très décevante
We were one of the first to discover Rib & Reef when it first opened, i moved out of town for a few yrs & visited tonight
The pricing is egregious, the steaks were tough & chewy, the caesar salad made both of us sick so not sure if eggs were fresh. They went from mouth watering food to average & below average food at 5x the price. Terrible experience & definitely not worth the price. 122 dollars for a rib steak, of average quality?
This place is a classic for a reason. Only strange part is the parking... if it's your first time & you don't want to valet, it's hard to figure out where to park.
This is still my favorite restaurant in montreal , the service standards is something the rest of the town can learn from , the food quality is great & its cooked well & its a good place for drinks & cigars
It's usually so much better! We aren't weekly regulars, more like three or four times a year, with the family, twice a year in a big group, but this was by far a surprising disappointment.
Went New Years Eve before the gala. The steaks across the board were tough & charred. Same atmosphere, same awesome service, great drinks, the bisque & wedge salad were all great.
But the filets, sirloin & rib steak were all tough. Overbooked? Rushed? New chef? I dunno, but the five of us spent 1200.00 for dinners. At over 100.00 per steak, it should have been better.
We won't go back for a while.
The owner said he/she didn't see my name on the reservation list but didn't address my concerns.
That's because the reservation was made by my partner, in her name.

I went there for New Year's Eve & I was strongly disappointed. First off they placed our table at the corner where every waiter / worker would pass by every 2 seconds. Impossible to be comfy when constantly surrounded by people walking left right.
Some of us ordered the steak & let me tell you, there was no taste at all for a 60-80$ steak, my friend had to ask for HP sauce…
As for the service, it was very long & when the food would come they would rush us between dishes. Super unprofessional
Première fois que je note un restaurant, le serveur était très très bête & il s'est trompé 5 FOIS SUR LA FACTURE. Il a du faire 5 aller-retour, je comprends pas ahaha. Sinon il a obligé tout le groupe à mettre 20% de tip sur chaque facture, ce qui est illégal je crois... Bref, très déçu pour un endroit qui coûte cher.
Food & service quality no longer satisfactory.
My husband & I are regular clients, however our last visit proved to be quite below our expectations. We were there for Monday lunch. The service was polite but speedy, with attitude but without interaction, just going through the motions. The soup's quality was below average (tomato & leeks), seemingly using left-overs. The filets mignons were undercooked & full of nerves. In retrospect, we should have said something right there & then. But we need to be honest about what we received for the money, as our bill came to close to 300$. A lot of money for such little satisfaction.
The food was good, but not for the price in Montreal. We tried the chicken, & it was dry; unfortunately, maybe they could add more sauce. The service was perfect; they served us a drink because it was our anniversary.
