Wow! the focaccia is insane, the outdoor seating is gorgeous & my meal was incredible. Raph spent the evening making sure I was taken care of & made my night well worth the travel,100% the best burger i've had in a long time. Definitely a new Montreal favourite, & we can't wait to visit again...I will be craving the caesar salad forever!
Came here for dinner & was not impressed. Service was very slow, we waited very long for our meal. The beef carpaccio was very good & salads were decent. The burger was mediocre. This resto did not meet my expectations.
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.

Very impressed by the service , the food & the outdoor garden . The entire staff was so friendly & very professional . The food was delicious & very flavourful . All our dishes were delectable, my favourite was the beef carpaccio , the mix of flavours of the dressing was perfect & the Brutus salad was crunchy & succulent . The outdoor space is quite lovely in the evening with all the little lights . Great place for both an intimate dinner or with a group of friends .
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.
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 ♥?

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.
