The food is excellent ==> Kiss for the Chef!
The service was good ==> Great service, with a pinch of'argh! another boomer couple! why am I wasting my life here!'.
Overall vibe ==> 'Cheesy-boomer-mid-90's-decor-impression-of-high-end-USA-male-tourist-customers'

The restaurant is situated at the complete west end of Old-Montreal touristy sector & located on the ground floor of what seem to be an office building (i.e: the restaurant restrooms are located past the main'mid-90's pinky-beige-stone-washed' entrance hall of the said office building).

The decor (of the restaurant + main building hall for restrooms) is somewhat dated to the mid-90's'trying-for-high-end-customers' restaurant (i.e.: somewhat'boomer-cheesy' in my opinion). I don't think that's what the restaurant is going for ultimately; the staff is young & dressed'chilled'. As said before, the service was good.

Unfortunately, the menu & the decor is giving -'I'm a 55ish+ male tourist from the United-State-of-America travelling outside my country for the 1st time & wanting to impress my date / cheat-mate with an IMPRESSION of an'elegant-diner-hotel-favor' combo; I am scared of food experiences & therefore I want a menu that I can relate too'- vibe. (ie: burger / pork-ribs / steak / pasta...)

I was a bit disappointed myself on the menu choices, since I wanted the'palourdes' as shown on the web-menu; that choice was not available at the restaurant on Sunday...I should have called - that's my bad.

For context, I did reserve my table for 5:30PM on a Sunday since my guest & I were expected somewhere else at 19:00...
However, that doesn't change my opinion on the overall'vibe' of the restaurant.

I recommend for the food...the rest of what you are going for is up to you!!!

Service was slow & communication was poor from start to finish. We weren't told mains wouldn't come until after the appetizer, so we sat waiting. The server recommended an extra dish, made it sound like a bonus, then charged us for it. The food was decent, but the surprise charge & overall experience were disappointing.

Une atmosphère cozy & intime, la section extérieur est adorable le soir! Parfait pour un date night ou soirée entre amis. Will be back!

Je tiens parcontre a mentionner que j'ai vu une petite souris se promener sous les tables.

the burger was absolutely delicious, fries were good but unfortunately way too many tiny pieces. the ribs were also good, but between the two the burger easily takes it.

Really nice service from all the staff. Really good food but a little bit over price.
Would recommend & come back

The female hostess was very accomplished & super nice. The male host with the patchy moustache & greasy hair was terrible & his energy was awful, ruined the experience completely from just one interaction. The steak is good, the burger is dry & uninspired, you'd get a better one next door at five guys. I wouldn't go there for a celebration. Overall okay definitely not a must try if you like American style bistros with a fancy twist id just go to Deville, better food, service & vibes. Overall 3.5 stars.

10/10 meal. Server was amazing & all of the food was incredible. Very memorable restaurant. Don't forget to order the beach pie. Definitely the best dessert I've had in a long time. One of the best restaurants I've eaten at this year. Can't recommend it enough.

Super souper chez Romies ! Ambiance magique sur la terrasse, service parfait grâce à Carla (tellement gentille & attentionnée 💫).

On a partagé un crudo frais & savoureux, puis un plat de pâtes & un contre-filet ultra tendre. En dessert: sundae à la Key Lime Pie. À essayer !

Une vraie belle découverte, j'y retourne c'est sûr !

SUCH a cute place! Romantic & beautiful interior!

Try the courgettes frites & halibut crudo, but the star of the show was the pasta alla zozzona!
