Romies is described as a stylish, vibey spot in Old Montreal with a beautiful terrace that many reviews say is perfect for dates or celebrations. The service is often praised for being friendly and attentive, though a few experiences mention slow or inconsistent service, especially on busy nights. The food is generally regarded as delicious and well presented, with frequent highlights including fried zucchini, pasta alla zozzona, crudo, focaccia, rib eye, and a standout dessert scene featuring chocolate cake or blackout cake. Some readers feel the prices are high for the portions and value, and a number of dishes arrive not as hot as expected or can be a little heavy on richness. The ambiance, decor, and open kitchen vibe create a memorable experience that many say elevates the meal, though the noise level and crowds can be a downside for some. Across reviews, Romies is seen as a place with strong positives in food and atmosphere, and a willingness to return for the terrace, cocktails, and signature dishes, while the occasional critique centers on price, consistency and service during peak times.
Superbe expérience chez Romies hier soir en famille. Tout était excellent du début à la fin : cocktails, vin, crudo & entrée, puis le poisson & le steak parfaitement cuits & pleins de saveur. Les portions sont généreuses & parfaites à partager. Mention spéciale aussi à l'extrême gentillesse des serveurs, qui ont rendu la soirée encore plus agréable. On y retournera sans hésiter !
Merci à notre serveur Jeff pour avoir rendu ma fête encore plus mémorable! La nourriture est OUT OF THIS WORLD. le crudo & les courgettes frittes 10/10. Je recommande à n'importe qui!!!!!

Une belle découverte grâce à ma fille. Nous avons passé une très agréable soirée. Cocktail & repas délicieux. Personnel très accueillant & attentionné (validation des allergies). D'accord c'est dispendieux mais cela vaut la peine une fois de temps en temps de se gâter à vivre cette expérience.
I never took the time to leave a negative review, but this was by far the worst service I've ever experienced. Our server had a severe attitude throughout the night. When our cold dessert took over 40 minutes & we politely asked about it, he shrugged us off & later dropped it on the table without saying a word. The table next to us even found a large shard of glass in their food, & there was a mistake on their bill at the end of the night.
To make matters worse, there was a mistake on my bill as well that I noticed after paying. When I brought it up, the server simply dropped the cash for the error on the table & walked away. I returned the cash & asked for a proper refund & repayment to simplify things, I noticed on my statement the next morning that the credit was incorrect & I was actually credited less than I should have been. After following up by email, one of the owners confirmed the mistake, they offered a $50 gift card instead of correcting the charge. Given the experience, I politely asked for a simple credit instead, my emails suddenly stopped going through (my email was blocked). I resent the message from another email address which did go through, but that one was completely ignored.
Despite remaining respectful the entire time, the restaurant clearly had no interest in resolving the issue…. Extremely disappointing.
UPDATE (after owner response): I'd like to clarify a few points raised by the owner. I never claimed that I was charged twice; I simply stated that I was incorrectly charged. Additionally, my follow-up email from a different address went through immediately after the original one didn't, which makes the explanation about their email issues difficult to believe. While a $50 gift card was offered, it was never actually given, & the billing error was never corrected by the restaurant. I ultimately had to contact my credit card company to have the amount reversed. It's also disappointing that the other concerns mentioned in my review, & in several other reviews, were not addressed. If issues like these are not acknowledged, it's difficult to see how the service can improve.
Loved the experience. Drinks were great, everything that I had was a big hit & super tasty. Great vibe amazing time & the team serving us was very cool!
On a commander des pâtes, avons spécifié de ne pas mettre du porc ,les deux fois il y avait du porc. Chose bizarre aussi, un autre avis négatif parlais du même incident.
A mixed bag - our starter never arrived, & they got one of our sides wrong on our mains. But the burger was excellent, & the drinks were good. Service was a bit hit & miss.

We were a group of 15 people, the food was really good, we had the group menu with tons of options. The atmosphere was good, its warm & a little bit dark.
The desserts that we had (cheese cake & chocolate cake) were not that good, they tasted like box cakes.
Also, some of our group members were having issues getting additional drinks, the waiter was not paying attention if we needed more drinks or bread.
Overall good but just to go one time.
Personally I found this place pretty mid. It's a place to go for the vibes & appetizers than the actual food. The fried zucchini was delicious! I would go back anytime for that. Everything else was super meh. The pasta was actually not that great. There was so much cheese that it was a bit disgusting to eat & the flavours were nothing special. Very basic. I know the pasta has gone very viral & I had very high hopes but overall it was super disappointing. Any influencer/content creator that pushed this pasta forward has definitely lost all credibility. Overall I would only go back to enjoy the fried zucchini & grab food+dessert elsewhere. You can buy a whole cake for the price you pay for a slice of cake…which again is nothing special or worth paying for.
10/10 fast, quick & good prices. Sure me & my partner shared our food, but sharing is worth it, to try much at Romie's the pasta is AMAZING, The focaccia is beautiful & the service was superb.

Nouveau coup de coeur dans le vieux-port ! Honnêtement, c'était un sans faute du début à la fin. Le service était impeccable, le cadre est parfait pour une soirée romantique & la nourriture...omg que c'était bon. Je savais pas que des courgettes frites pouvaient être bonnes comme ça. Que dire du contre filet, des hashbrowns & des pâtes.. tout était absolument délicieux. & pour terminer, j'ai mangé probablement le meilleur gâteau au chocolat de ma vie. À essayer absolument !
Overall a great experience, the service was pleasant, Adam took good care of us & helped with some suggestions as well. The room had a very nice warm atmosphere & the food was great. I would highlight the fried zucchini & the steak. I've had better caesar's & fries but everything was yummy. You could tell the staff enjoyed providing a pleasant evening & they did a great job at doing so.
I went to Romies as a group for a celebration & the whole experience as a 5+ for all of us. We were welcomed with warm smiles, the atmosphere was busy & inviting, the service was quick & attentive & the food was delicious! We (all) can't wait to go back!

C'était pour la fête de ma fille, je suis passé plein de fois devant (je travaille pas loin) mais je n'ai jamais fréquenté l'établissement, vu le décor, je me disais que les plats devait avoir un certain prix. Mais que ne ferait-on pas pour la fête de sa fille ?
Nous avons soupé en famille en cette belle fin de semaine au début de l'été. Il était encore tôt & la place était presque vide. Le décor, l'ambiance, la lumière donnaient le ton & faisaient en sorte que cet endroit cossu était un havre de paix pour les clients. Nous avons pris du Foccacia fait maison, (délicieux), courgettes frites, tartare, disons le, ça commence bien un repas de fêtes, jusqu'au moment ou le garçon chargé de remplir nos verres d'eau est venu à notre table, il sentait la sueur (pas un peu, assez fort pour que toute la table le sente)… ça nous a mis mal à l'aise. D'habitude, ça ne me dérange pas, chacun fait ce qu'il veut avec son hygiène, mais là dans un établissement de cette classe, c'est décevant. D'un autre côté, comment lui dire sans le froisser ? Question épineuse. Ce n'est jamais agréable d'écrire ce genre de chose, ni pour moi, ni pour les gens qui vont le lire. Je fréquente beaucoup de restaurants & je dois dire que c'est des rares fois ou ça a perturber notre souper, les plats suivants étaient délicieux mais l'expérience a été gâchée par cet incident. On va dire que ce n'était pas notre jour ni pour nous, ni pour le serveur.
We dined here on a Sunday evening, & the ambiance alone is everything. The restaurant is absolutely beautiful, but it doesn't stop there. Every dish we ordered was incredibly flavorful & perfectly balanced, we never thought zucchini chips could be that good! Our steaks were cooked to perfection, & the table was filled with constant'mmm's' & approving head nods all night long. We couldn't have been more satisfied with the entire experience.
Highly recommend dining here. We'd gladly drive from Toronto to Montreal just to enjoy this meal again!
