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!
honestly don't write bad reviews often, but this experience deserves one.
I chose Romies because I liked the restaurant. I've been there before, enjoyed the food & the vibe, & trusted them enough to plan a surprise dinner for a special occasion. That was clearly a mistake.
I reached out well in advance to coordinate something very simple. I contacted them multiple times:
- via Instagram DM
- via email
- & even in person, where I explained everything clearly
Despite all of this, I received no response for over a week. No confirmation, no follow-up, nothing. Planning a surprise is already stressful, & being completely ignored by a restaurant you're trying to work with makes it unnecessarily frustrating.
What's worse is that even after explaining everything clearly - including very basic, low-effort requests - absolutely nothing was done. We specifically asked for candles on the table. This was mentioned more than once, through different channels, & even acknowledged in person. When we arrived?
No candles. No preparation. No effort.
The surprise was essentially ruined, not because the request was complicated, but because the restaurant simply did not care enough to follow through.
If you don't want to accommodate special occasions, that's fine - just say so. If you're too busy to respond, say that too. But ignoring messages, failing to communicate, & then completely dropping the ball on the day itself is unacceptable, especially from a place that presents itself as polished & attentive.
This was especially disappointing because I went out of my way to choose Romies out of loyalty. Instead of feeling welcomed, I felt dismissed & overlooked.
Food & ambiance don't matter if the most basic level of professionalism is missing. If you're planning anything important, do yourself a favor & don't rely on this place to handle it.
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.
Honestly an okay restaurant. You pay for the location & the instagrammy atmosphere. Everything is good. But if you serve the same plate in another city, it would be okay & half the price.
