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!!!View more

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.View more

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.View more

Very Mid, not impressed, & pricey for what it is.
It feels like a place you would with your coworkers who typically don't eat out too much, not a place you go out with you foodie friends. There's 7 items for main course: 2 steaks, ribs, burger, salmon & clams. Pretty basic bistro menu, if you ask me.
Decor was nice & cocktails were done right, so all is not lost.
Anyways I regretfully spent 250$ there, while I could have gone to much nicer places for that price.View more

Quelle expérience ! Car oui, pour une personne de la quarantaine c'est une expérience. On dans ses jeunes années avec de la musique des années 2000, sélectionnée avec soin par le gérant des lieux. On est dans un décor de dinning American mais qui aurait connu un upgrade. La nourriture y est très bonne, influence d'italien avec d'autres saveurs européennes, & bien sûr quelques must américain comme leur célèbre burger. L'équipe y est jeune, style hypster. Clientèle également très jeune.
J'ai adoré les zucchini avec sa sauce façon tzatziki. Le crudo de loup de mer avec ses accompagnants frais & acidulés. Ainsi que le Beach pie (tarte au citron revisitée).
++++: la musique, il ne me manquait que le dance floor personnellement.
+++++++: la magnifique cour intérieur.View more

Excellent evening at Romies for my partner' birthday. We were very lucky to have Felix serve us. He made our experience even better! Food & atmosphere are both wonderful. The food: we had a hard time choosing, all amazing choices! We started off with Amaretto sour & cherry whiskey sour. Outstanding! Followed by exceptional wine. We had the Brutus salad, fried zucchini & the cruddo. Our mains were a burger & ribs. Lots of food but we took some home. To finish the meal, we had the beach pie. Divine! Looking forward to go back in the summer when we can enjoy the terrace! Go, go, go!View more

We had high expectations for Romies considering how much we love its team's other restaurant, Arthurs, but unfortunately they were not met on this evening.
On the positive side, the food was phenomenal (especially the burger, pasta, & blackout cake), & they have cultivated a really cool vibe through the design, open kitchen, bar, etc.
That said, what really let us down was the service. From the hop, our server was rude, dismissive, & barely checked in. Then, he brought the wrong bottle of wine to our table, which we politely corrected, & then he proceeded to place that $100 bottle on my friend's bill (perhaps hoping she would not notice?). Also, we were there for my birthday & to kick off the night's celebrations (which was noted on the reservation), & there was absolutely no acknowledgement - not even placing a candle in the slice of cake I ordered. Don't get me wrong, we were not expecting to be catered to by any means, but being a bit more welcoming overall would have gone a long way.View more

Pasta & chocolate cake are an absolute Must. Beef tartare & focaccia are delicious as well. We also ordered the BBQ ribs & burger which were pretty good & Cesar. Overall great experience!View more

Went with a group of 10+ so had a set menu for the night but they were very accommodating to any dietary restrictions we had & made replacements that worked for our group! The food was incredible, one of the best burgers I've ever had! Very good vibes & the staff were super friendly! Definitely recommend!!View more

Felix was the best & took good care of us!! The food & service was impeccable! P.s I am coming back to eat that burger!! LolView more

I think my wife & I caught the restaurant on an off night. I went with the burger, & my wife took the pasta dish, which both looked great on Instagram. My burger was overcooked, dry, & tasteless, which included the bun falling apart into pieces right from the first bite. My wife's pasta had no flavour & was very acidic. Unfortunately, she vomited twice from the acidity & spent the night on the couch 🤷♂️. Word of advice: Instead of having the owner check in on his wife's dining experience every 2 mins, he probably should have been keeping a closer eye on the food the kitchen was pumping out (we sat right next to them).View more

We went for a moms' dinner out to celebrate my friend's birthday. Great space & playlist. Everything we ate & drank was perfect. The best burger I have had because I love a good char, & the bun to be just right- Romies nailed it. Crispy bacon, the right melty cheese, perfect thin pickle slices. The clams were fab too - so fresh & delicious & the addition of tiny pasta was genius / plus the occasional crunch & nuttiness of hazelnuts made it next level. The side veg was a star dish in itself & we understood why it sells put at first bite. The corn & tomato salad highlighted the best of local summer corn & tomatoes & the creamy corn dressing & feta, onions & fried shallots. I could go back every day to try each of the tempting salads on the menu. Then there is the Brooklyn blackout cake. The whole dessert menu sounds dreamy but the BROOKLYN BLACKOUT CAKE with its Chocolate mousse frosting, cookie whipped cream & just a little crunch of flakey salt on top should not be missed / I don't care how full you are or if you don't usually like chocolate cake. Get it. Try it. Even if, like us, you can only eat one bite & have to take it home.View more

This is what the montreal food scene has become...a popularity contest with overpriced mediocre food. Steak was tough, burger was raw, filet mignon was very good, cherry pie was tasteless but the ambience was nice. Wine list was a joke especially considering the price of their food. Go there for a drink but not for their food or wine choices.View more

Our new favourite restaurant in Montreal. Amazing food & service. The ambiance is great as well. Nice restaurant & beautiful outside terrace. It was our first time dining there & we will definitely be back. We also met the chef & he was lovely & he recommended us stuff to try. We tried the focaccia, beef tartare, burger, pasta & chocolate cake. Everything was delicious. Our waiter was also very nice & took care of us during our time. They also provided me with a purse hanger as I had my purse on the table when I arrived. This little touch was very appreciated. I definitely recommend!View more
