Romies offers a lively Montreal dining experience with a warm, stylish vibe and a crowd that appreciates shareable plates, bold crudo and fried zucchini, and well executed mains like steak and pasta. The food is frequently described as delicious and flavorful with standout desserts such as the blackout cake, and cocktails and wine are also praised, as is the terrace and interior which create a welcoming atmosphere. Service is often attentive and friendly, though a number of reviews note inconsistent pacing and some slow moments, and prices are considered high for what is offered. Overall Romies is seen as a top pick for friends and celebrations, with many guests planning to return to enjoy the food and ambiance despite these drawbacks.
This was genuinely one of the worst dining experiences I've ever had.
We waited an hour & a half for food, & during that entire time, the only thing that arrived was our salad. We didn't order drinks-just food-so there was no reason for such an excessive delay with zero communication.
What made the experience even worse was the service. Our server did not check on us once during that entire 90-minute wait. We eventually had to ask the front desk agent to call the manager because we had been completely ignored.
When the manager came over, instead of apologizing or acknowledging how unacceptable the experience had been, he immediately became defensive & told us that 30-40 minutes is an average wait on a busy weekend-which completely missed the point, since we had already been waiting far longer than that with almost no communication.
After that conversation, our server still disappeared, & our food didn't arrive for another 30 minutes. When it finally did, my burger was raw/undercooked. When the server eventually returned, there was no acknowledgment or concern about the issue. The manager came back again, but instead of taking accountability or listening to feedback about how poorly we had been treated, he simply said something along the lines of,'The other tables had a good experience-you just had a bad one tonight.'
That response was incredibly dismissive & unprofessional.
I understand restaurants get busy, especially on weekends. Delays happen. But good hospitality is about communication, accountability, & treating guests with respect when things go wrong. None of that happened here.
I would never return or recommend this restaurant based on this experience.
La bouffe etait bonne mais le rapport qualité prix n'est pas au rdv selon moi & comparé aux autres restos du coin. Il y a de bien meilleures options. Devoir ajouter 15$ pour avoir des frites avec son filet mignon à 70$, c'est tout de même un peu ridicule. Le service etait correct sans plus, assez mitigé dans l'ensemble, je ne peux pas recommander.
Romies MTL was absolutely amazing! The ambiance is beautiful, the vibe is perfect, & the food/drinks were incredible. A special shoutout to our waiter ADAM : definitely ask for him if you go! He was so nice, attentive, & gave the best recommendations. He made the whole experience even better. Can't wait to come back!Romies MTL was absolutely amazing!

Adams was our waiter & he did a really fantastic job taking care of us. He gave us a bunch of recommendations & we had a great time. The fried zucchini was great. The burgers were good!
I liked the vibes here it's a cute restaurant. We originally wanted to try the burger because that's what was recommended to us but apparently the waitress said they were sold out, so we ended up trying a few other things on the menu. The food was honestly mid I've definitely had better, but the chocolate cake completely saved the experience because wow… it was the star of the whole show. So goodddd & 100% the one thing I'd come back for.
INSANELY good food. Service was 10/10. The pasta was worth every penny I suggest you order several different plates & share like tapas style. The zucchini was to die for 🤤🤤
Food is amazing, just like the drinks, & portions are more than generous. I've had the best burger 🍔 of my life in this establishment (sorry dad). I will have to be back this summer for the incredible patio
We had our wedding at Romies with 72 guests & it was super intimate.
We had our ceremony & cocktail hour in the courtyard, & our reception inside the restaurant. First off, the staff is 10/10 - service was incredible & the food was outstanding. We had an open bar & family style dining. We had antipasti & focaccia to start, catalina salad & fried zucchini followed by pasta alla zozzana, rib eye, branzino as the mains, & fries + side veg. Finished off with the Black out cake which was out of this world + our wedding cake. The food was never ending. Everyone was so well fed.
Nick & his team were so organized. We mostly dealt with Franck & Camille & they were very accommodating + responsive.
Thank you, Romies ♥?

This place has a great vibe. The moment you walk in you are struck by the decor & ambiance.
The food is quite good, but is is very expensive for what it is. $41 (before tip & tax) for a medium sized burger & fries is insane. $36 for a basic pasta dish with just sauce & cheese?
At those prices you can eat at the best restaurants in the city. While Romies is good, it is not even close to the best in the city.
The service was good, but again, at these prices it should be the highest level of service which it is not.
I will be back, but likely for just drinks since the food is really not worth it.
