Je donne malheureusement 0 étoile pour cette expérience. Les prix sont beaucoup trop élevés par rapport à ce qui est servi : un burger, une salade, un petit filet de boeuf, un verre de vin & deux Corona pour un total de 176 $.
En plus de cela, j'ai laissé un pourboire de 5 %, mais le serveur m'a demandé si je n'étais pas satisfait du service, puis il m'a fait comprendre que je devais normalement laisser 15 %, soit environ 25 $ de pourboire. J'ai trouvé cette remarque très déplacée & inconfortable. Le pourboire reste un choix du client, il ne devrait jamais être imposé ni réclamé de cette manière.
Honnêtement, je n'ai pas apprécié l'expérience. Le rapport qualité-prix est très mauvais & l'attitude du serveur était impolie. Je ne recommande pas ce restaurant.
Overall we had an amazing experience. Mandek was our waitress & she was amazing! The food was fantastic & came out piping hot. The cocktails were also amazing! We started with the focaccia & also had the brutus & catalina salad. Then between the 8 of us, some had the tortellini, the pasta alla zozzona, the almond crusted halibut, & the burger. Everyone loved their meal! Everything was also salted perfectly. Also, everything was reasonably priced & the atmosphere was great. Went on a girls trip to Montreal to celebrate a milestone birthday for the weekend but we would definitely come back to Romies the next time we are in Montreal.
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.

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.
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
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.
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.
The service at this place absolutely sucks. Took 15mins for us to even be acknowledged by the staff & get water poured. Another 10mins to take drink orders. It took 30mins for one salad & another 45 for a burger & two pastas. Restaurant was 3/4 full.
Foods not terrible but adding lays chips to a caesar salad for crunch is absolute laziness. Make some Parmesan crisps or something - seems lazy. Burger was dry, pasta was ok.
