Worth the hype. First of all-my group was late haha & without a thought they held our table for us for 15 mins on a busy Wednesday night. So thank you for that kindness. We got the beef tartare & focaccia as starters. The tartare was good but different (came atop a bland potato salad) & the focaccia was delicious. Most of my group got their famous pasta & raved about it. The grilled branzino was an underrated yet excellent dish. & the burger. My gosh- out of this world. & comes with their house ceaser salad which was so yummy & had potato chips instead of croutons. Although the dressing wasn't anchovy-ee enough for my taste. We also got all 3 desserts & all were 10/10 but the chocolate cake & blueberry sundaes are a must!! All in all a great meal in a cool trendy atmosphere
I saw another review on here that perfectly summed up my experience, but in short; the food quality & taste doesn't justify the price, unfortunately.
The flavours of each main were overpowering yet underwhelming.
Service was okay overall but we had to wait a long time to order, to get our food & then to pay.
We were about to leave quite disappointed BUT the dessert made up for it in the end! Whoever is the dessert chef is needs a raise because WOW! I would come back solely for the dulce de leche & passionfruit sundae 🤤.
Je suis allée pour un anniversaire avec des amies & tout était parfait! Très bonne ambiance & service impeccable de Jeana, ses recommandations étaient excellentes. Je recommande fortement !!

Une soirée merveilleusement réussie pour la fête de mon amie!! La nourriture était délicieuse (un gros coup de coeur pour les desserts). Un immense merci à Jeana pour son service exceptionnel. Elle a vraiment contribué à rendre la soirée inoubliable.
Service très lent... Nous avons d'ailleurs commandé des frites que nous n'avons jamais reçues... Les prix sont un peu dispendieux par rapport aux portions. La terrasse est plutôt belle. J'y suis allé avec deux amies & personne ne compte y retourner.
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!

It was the second time that I had the pleasure to share a meal with friends at Romies last night. Both times were impeccable. Cocktails are great & well balanced, wine list is great & the food is just amazing - it's even difficult to make choices. The ingredients are fresh & everything is delicious. Bonus points for the service (& the music !). Excited to go back again & enjoy the beautiful terrasse : )
The food looked great but fell short on taste, with flavors that were too sweet & didn't match the high cost (very very pricey). Presentation seemed to take priority over flavor. Service was slow & inconsistent; while the waitress was helpful, she also seemed impatient at times. The dining area was very noisy, with echoes making conversation difficult. Staff didn't appear particularly enthusiastic, which impacted the overall vibe. I wouldn't return.
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.
