Romies is more than just an restaurant; it's a destination where memories are made, relationships are nurtured, and a sense of belonging is cultivated.
Join us as we invite you to indulge in an experience that celebrates tradition and embraces the excitement of the new.
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.
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!

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.
The sun was shining & I needed a drink, it felt like spring.I came in to Romies to a welcoming smile. They sat me down at the bar where Nino proceeded to make me the best pornstar cocktail I have ever had. I ordered the tortellini & was amazed by how deep in flavour the pistachio pesto was. Amazing service by Tommy, always checking in to see if I needed anything. Such a great experience truly a must stop for ANYONE. Doesn't matter who, doesn't matter why.

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!
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.
I took the rest of my meal out & at home i found out that fries don't have good quality & i think drink was too pricey $$$
I ❤? atmosphere & staff were friendly.

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.
Busy yet chill vibes. Low lights atmosphere. They have bocci ball in the back, the toilets are outside of the restaurant which is a little odd but it works. Their drinks were good. Price point is high but the quality matches it. The rib eye steak was perfectly cooked & seasoned. The fries were made in house & tasty. The ceasar salad was okay. I would go with another options in the future, instead of salad.
Was served by the bartender Jeana (Hope I'm spelling it right!) she was absolutely incredible! I have a few allergies & she went above & beyond to ensure my meal was delicious & that we had a good time. I will definitely be back here when in MTL & recommend. Ps. The drinks were 🔥

It's funny I kept hearing mixed reviews about this place & TikTok kept pushing it on me, but I'm really glad I came here spontaneously with my girlfriends. I actually really enjoyed the experience! The venue is beautiful & open-air, super chill vibes. I didn't order food, but my friend did, & my drinks were solid. Bartenders were nice too. Definitely coming back to try the food next time.
Had a incredible time at Romie's. The place is looking incredible, both indoor & outdoor sitting areas are great. We've received a very nice service although we took the longest of time making some choices about drinks & food. They made some recommendations of a few items to share, every single one of them were delicious. I really enjoyed the cocktail & wine as well. Will be back!
My issue is not with the food or with the owner. It's with one particular waiter who didn't respect my drink request. I'm in the middle of Dry January (no alcohol) & my colleagues thought it would be funny to get me on the wagon again. The waiter took the tip & served me alcohol EVEN THOUGH I specifically asked for 0% (non alcoholic beer vs alcoholic beer is hard to taste the difference) Anyways, when my colleagues told me what they did, I confronted the waiter & asked him - what if I was an alcoholic or on medication? He just shrugged his shoulders & laughed it off. Our company payed a lot of money for great food & we tipped very generously. Yet this waiter had the audacity to ignore the moral dilemma. I'm furious at my company but equally upset at the waiter who couldn't even respect my order. After all I am the customer. Great food, terrible experience.
