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

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.View more

I went to Romies on a Monday night for a birthday dinner, & I was honestly surprised to see the place completely full at the beginning of the week! 🎉 The atmosphere was great, & the service was very good, friendly & attentive. ✨ We had a multi-course sharing menu for the occasion, so I got to taste everything. After the meal, I totally understood why the restaurant was packed even on a Monday! The food is excellent : the starters were fresh & flavorful, & the main dishes were absolutely delicious. 🍽? I highly recommend Romies & will definitely be coming back!

Je suis allée chez Romies un lundi soir pour un souper d'anniversaire, & j'ai été vraiment surprise de voir le restaurant rempli en début de semaine ! 🎉 L'ambiance était très agréable & le service très bon, attentionné & chaleureux. ✨ Comme c'était un menu à partager pour l'occasion, on a eu droit à plusieurs services, & j'ai pu tout goûter. Après avoir mangé, j'ai compris pourquoi c'était plein même un lundi ! La nourriture est excellente : les entrées sont savoureuses & les plats principaux délicieux. 🍽? Je recommande ce restaurant & j'y reviendrai sans aucun doute !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

Absolutely sensational & a Montreal must-try! Really fun menu to eat through! Super fresh ingredients & a little something for everyone. I don't think you can go wrong with anything on the menu, but I would recommend trying a bunch of dishes & sharing them. Getting one appetizer & two mains with a guest or date wouldn't be as fun. Definitely try the pork ribs, the side veg (fried zucchini), & crudo branzino.View more

Overrated & extremely overpriced for the food they serve. I had the ribye, very common, no taste, over cooked.. 96$.. i'm a meat lover & that was not quality meat. The service is ordinary, too many tables for a few waiters so you have to wait. At some point the waitress told us that we can't get a cooler bucket for our white wine bottle because they don't have many. Lol, imagine drinking warm white wine. The atmosphere is nice, has a lot of potential if chef is changed & management as well. I do not recommend & i will not come back.View more

Food was good but no worth the price. We were asked to change tables because they had a group but the table we where moved from was given to another couple. Then we had dinner & we felt rushed by the staff. We were given the bill because they had another reservation (we understand) but we still had a full glass of wine & he couldve given us a warning 20 min before instead of rushing us to pay & leave. So we asked if we can finish it at the bar. The server says "sure". We go & are about to sit when the server comes & says we cant sit there bc of another reservation but the bartender said it was fine. We sit & 2 minutes later another person comes to say we need to move bc they have people coming & to move to the next chair. So we literally had to move 3 times during the evening. No warning was given by our server that they needed the table so we can manage to finish our wine (we ordered a bottle). BTW by the time we left the bar chairs were still empty so literally we were moved for nothing. Felt disorganized & rushed . Not worth the hype. Wouldnt recommendView more

Service was great, we went at 6pm on a Friday night & they weren't as busy yet so staff were very attentive & polite. We had the grilled peppers & cold fish to start, would recommend both, especially the grilled peppers as the flavours were more interesting. I had the pasta alla zonzzona which was delicious, my boyfriend had the bbq ribs. Good portion size for both. Fries were expensive($14) & I felt they were overcooked & we had a lot of short bits under the first layer of decent fries. We had the blackout choco cake to share which was more salty than sweet. I love desserts typically but personally I would skip this next time.View more

Romie's has quickly become a favorite of ours. The service is exceptional-attentive, friendly, & professional. The food is always incredible; The Brutus salad, cold fish, filet mignon & fish of the day are our favorites. The chocolate cake is hands down best dessert ever. We've been three times since they opened, & every visit has been consistently great. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a memorable dining experience!View more

Another hit from Raegan & Alex & team! Every item on the menu is excellent. We started with cocktails (Hugo Spritz & Espresso martini) - that were perfectly crafted. Catalina salad & fish crudo as starters- Crudo is a must-have! We were treated to the house focaccia (classic!), the roasted pepper with straciatella (a sleeper hit!) & a seasonal tomato salad with corn & feta (excellent). For mains- filet mignon (perfectly cooked), the pasta (must-have) & a side of fries. Blackout cake to end- cannot miss the dessert menu! Everything at Romies is excellent. Well thought out & well executed. Ambience is great. Service is excellent! 10/10 recommendView 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

Wanted to try out this place as the patio looked amazing & they had many drink & food options. Unfortunately the day I went it was raining so our group got seated inside on separate tables as we were 9 people. We started off with drinks & cocktails which my coworkers seem to enjoy. We shared the focaccia, crudo, beef tartare & Spanish omelette as appetizers. My favourite was the crudo as it was so fresh, balanced & had a nice acidity from the citrus. The potato salad in the beef tartare threw us off a little as I wish there was more of a crunch element but it was still tasty. The Spanish omelette was also very good! The pickled veggies paired with it made it balanced. As for the mains, we ordered the charcoal grilled fish, the ribs & the pasta. The fish was by far our favourite! It was perfectly cooked & the grill taste was fantastic. Paired with deep fried eggplant medallions & peas. Yummy! The ribs were a bit dry & not fall off the bone so I would not recommend that. The pasta was ok but nothing special. For the desserts we ordered the choclate cake & Sunday. Both fantastic! The flaky sea salt on the cake was a nice addition! Service was also very good & the vibes were nice. Would come back again for the grilled fish & the crudo. However, for the price, it was a bit expensive so would only come on a special occasion.View more

Went to Romies last night with my fiancé & two of our friends & loved it!! Jeffrey was our server & we took his recommendation to try their speciality salad, which was wonderful & fresh! From the entrees to our main meals, Romies didn't miss one beat. Also, a friend of mine put in my head how most restaurants will forget to fill your water / ask if you want more water & that definitely wasn't the case last night. Super sweet staff & the owner even came up & to tell us bon appetit when she saw we got our main dishes! 10/10 recommend! Can't wait to go back & try more of their dishes!View more
